L – our third year

Melbourne

If you take the time to visit this hipster city, please also try to take a few days to drive the Great Ocean Road. I have a ton of eateries listed under our visit for next time since I was feeling under the weather and …

Great Ocean Road (Victoria)

A beautiful drive filled with incredible coastline and wild animals, we spent two nights on this road but wouldn’t have minded an extra. I used Stef Ferro’s very clear and well outlined post when planning our drive, I recommend you check it out here. We …

Great Barrier Reef (Far North Queensland)

We couldn’t make it all the way to Australia without visiting the Great Barrier Reef. Turns out the GBR is really long, and since it was stinger season (jellyfish everywhere!) we opted not to do the island life, but a road trip to also visit …

Prague

Jizerské Pekárny (★★) If you’ve got a list of traditional Czech baked goodies to try, this bakery is the place to try them. No frills spot with tasty and reasonably priced bites. Lokál Dlouhááá (★) Very traditional Czech comfort food, a friend said the beef …

Krakow

Krakow is so surprisingly awesome. It’s a clean and small historical town with modern amenities and old school charm. It’s probably underrated but we loved it for that. Its very walkable, but if you get tired there’s a tram that’s easy to hop on and …

Manila

Because we stayed in Makati and were only in Manila for one full day, all our suggestions are oriented around this neighborhood! IRVINS Salted Egg (★★) Technically this is a Singaporean treat, but we love their fish crisps so much, we recommend it to anyone …

Kuala Lumpur

KL is so much cooler than we anticipated. It’s a vibrant city that feels like a mix between HK and Singapore, with lots of culture, good food, and fun sights. We hope to be back soon! Jalan Alor Night Food Court Super fun (and crowded …

Kandy

RECOMMENDED // STAY Feel Home Kandy (★★) The host Fazly is a gem of a man. He and his young family live downstairs from their homestay, and he is genuine, helpful, and responsive. Fazly is building his homestay business and we enjoyed chatting with him …

Mamallapuram

Y was just recovering from a bout of food poisoning, so we spent the day resting and planning until we left for this historic site around 3pm. Normally, we would’ve gone first thing in the AM to Mamallapuram (or what is now officially Mahabalipuram). Either …

Colombo

Hello Sri Lanka, we’re here! We are so excited to be in a new country after 3 weeks in India. We loved our experiences there, but it is not for the faint of heart and we were ready for a change. The flight to Colombo …
