Asia

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.

This past week was all about temple hopping as I explored the ancient cities of Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle. The most remarkable sight: The Jetavanaramaya Stupa!

I spent my last week in Cambodia on the glorious beaches in the south. Otres Beach remains my favorite one, and I enjoyed a few wonderfully lazy beach days there.

Singapore surprised us with stunning architecture, vibrant city life and an eclectic mix of cultures. Marina Bay Sands was one of our favorite buildings – and this is why…

Who knew that French baguettes were so popular in Cambodia? Even though the French left over 50 years ago, there are daily baked baguettes in the markets everywhere. Ooo la la!
