After meeting countless people on my travels who have said this golden gem it is an absolute must do, it has long been on my list. Considered the holy capital for the Sikh religion and home to the Golden Temple – often compared to the grand beauty of the Taj Mahal – it is considered […]
I had been wanting to do a Himalayan trek since my last visit to Rishikesh in early 2018 as it’s such an ideal access point, but sadly I was unable to find any hiking companions to join me. Luckily for me this time around I found a nice group on my yoga teacher training who […]
Just downstream from Rishikesh you’ll find Haridwar, colourfully decorating the banks of the Mama Ganga as she makes her way along the Himalayan foothills. An important Hindu Pilgrimage site, it’s considered the gateway to the two holy shrines of Shiva and Vishnu. You’ll even find Shiva standing over the busy highway welcoming you on your […]
Rishikesh, a town of two half’s, two bridges and a shed load of yoga Ashrams, sits vibrantly on the banks of the powerful Ganges, or Mama Ganga she’s so lovingly known as.

Located southeast of Bali, across the Badung Strait are the Nusa trio, Lembongan, Penida and the very little sister Ceningan. Choosing the one to spend our mini break from Bali on was more faff than I thought it would be, but after much deliberation we eventually settled on Nusa Lembongan. You can read about my […]
Choosing an Island took a lot more time than expected! We knew we wanted to explore one of the Islands off of Bali and spent some time reviewing them and chatting to other explorers before finally settling on Nusa Lembongan. It’s a pretty little Island only 30 minutes by speed boat from Bali, but it didn’t […]
