Asia

I spent the past four weeks in Thailand and Cambodia, and didn’t go to Indonesia as I had originally planned. Find out why and what else went wrong in March…

A last-minute detour in Laos led us to Phonsavan – just in time to witness the New Year’s celebrations of the Hmong people. We love the traditional costume and the game of love…

This week I returned to my favorite place in Cambodia: the sleepy riverside town of Kampot. I just love the laid-back atmosphere and slow pace of life in rural Cambodia!

I’ve arrived in Thailand and it’s so good to be back here! I only interrupted my island hopping mission briefly for a quick visit to Bangkok before I moved on …

As it turned out, I had saved the best for last: El Nido, my last stop on my island hopping trip through the Philippines, turned out to be absolutely stunning.

I’ve reached the last stop on my island & beach hopping tour around South East Asia – Thailand’s beautiful Andaman Sea islands, where I found my personal paradise.

Who knew that Sri Lanka had so many picture-perfect tropical beaches? I spent the last week beach bumming around some of the country’s popular beaches in the south.

Stopping in Koh Chang for a few days was a spontaneous on-the-whim decision – and I am glad that I made the detour because the island is perfect for a mini beach vacation!

Read what I have been up to in the past month, where I traveled to, what went well and what went wrong, and where I am off to next!

I am looking back on my travels over the past four weeks, what went well and what didn’t, lessons I’ve learned this month, what’s new with Globetrottergirls and what’s next for me.
