Our WA adventure spanned forests, coastlines, and the desert outback. From petting koalas and getting the perfect quokka selfie on Rottnest Island to climbing the Valley of the Giants, watching waves crash at The Gap, and visiting the lunar Pinnacles Desert. Plus, finding the famed Wave Rock!
Four days exploring futuristic Singapore! We slept in "space pods," were mesmerized by the Supertree Grove light show, explored the Orchid Garden, and ate like royalty at the famous Hawker Centres. A clean, safe, and surprisingly easy stopover before Australia. (P.S. Don't forget your eVisas!)
Our Philippines adventure: We tracked perfect-cone Mayon Volcano (Legazpi), floated a river shimmering with fireflies (Donsol), met tiny tarsiers (Bohol), explored the Underground River (Palawan), and island-hopped El Nido & Coron. A budget-travel masterpiece with a friend!
Our short Southeast Asia stop: We survived the tiny, flooded World Hotel in Luang Prabang, explored the Pak Ou Caves, climbed to the beautiful Kuang Si Waterfalls, and took the two-day slow boat to Thailand. In Chiang Mai, we celebrated Nicola's birthday at a cat café!
