Maine is my favourite place on earth so we thought we’d share some of hot tips for those keen on heading north to moose / lobster country. This is by no means an exhaustive list- Maine is BIG. These are my top picks from my time in Maine and welcome any other Mainers or Maine-wannabes to send […]
They call it “America’s best idea”. In 1916, America created the world’s first protected National Park. It was an idea that would take off around the world, and dramatically impact the United States. For any traveller wanting to experience the beauty of the great outdoors, this decision has made America one of the greatest countries […]
The emergence of the sharing economy is ushering in a new age of travel. Can car sharing platform Turo change the way we rent cars? AirBnB has opened up whole cities to travellers, who no longer need to stay in overpriced hotels or overcrowded hostels in “touristy” parts of town. There are some big downsides to […]
Four and a half years ago we were attempting to save our meagre incomes (save them from the pub that is) and selling our frankly crap possessions in yard sales, with the idea of leaving Australia and doing “something exciting, somewhere else”. It was a vague plan and when pressed for details, at work events […]

Turkey Times 2013/2014 from Asha and Ryan on Vimeo.
Hot Air Ballooning in Cappadocia (Getting High on Christmas Day) from Asha and Ryan on Vimeo. We decided to spoil ourselves on Christmas day (also Ryan’s 30th birthday) and take a hot air balloon ride over the jaw dropping landscape in Cappadocia, Turkey. We were staying in a cave hotel in the town of Goreme, […]

Skiing Adventure #1 – The Mt Erciyes Mistake Who even knew you could ski in Turkey? I had no idea you could, but we were after a winter adventure, and the promise of fresh snow, cheap lift tickets, and mountains largely unknown to most travellers seemed like a promising adventure. We booked into a hotel […]
The best decision we made during our trip to Turkey was to visit Cappadocia – although it didn’t seem that way on the drive from the Kayseyi airport to Goreme. On a freezing winter morning, the outskirts of Kayseri took on a depressingly Soviet feel. Empty streets, save for the odd hunched over old lady walking […]
After two years in Asia, we were longing for something we just couldn’t get – cold weather. Miserable, rainy, cold grey skies – you can even miss these things if you are away from them long enough. Living in Phnom Penh, we barely put shoes on anymore, jeans are hardly ever even worn. At first […]
We live in Toul Tom Poung. If you look on a map of Phnom Penh we’re at the bottom…just. Living in the butt-end of town has it’s benefits like cheaper rent and more of a “community” feel which I have always appreciated in cities. That said it also has it’s down points- more power outages, […]
