We are lucky enough to have done some travelling in Asia. This continent is so diverse. From big metropolitan cities like Singapore and Dubai. To small shanty towns in rural Thailand. There’s so much to see and do. Beach breaks in Thailand are high on most people’s lists. Or maybe it’s an eco-trip to release turtles in Bali or to see Orangutans in Malaysia. Perhaps you want to tick off the world’s most iconic hotels in Singapore and Dubai whilst visiting some high-paced theme parks? Asia has it all, I haven’t even touched the tip of the iceberg I’m sure. But I am keen to keep on exploring. And the kids love it too! It might be a long flight from the UK, but it is highly worth it. The airlines make it enjoyable… there’s no comparison between Emirates and Ryanair!
Awesome Singapore, Away From The Main Attractions
In the last few days, I’ve been reminiscing about our trip to Singapore in 2019. We had such an amazing time and fit as much in as we could in a short time. We could have done with another month to get into the nitty-gritty of it. 2 weeks on Sentosa alone would be great!…
You’ll love The Upside Down Museum Penang!
When we last visited Penang we asked the kids what they’d like to do. We had spent the holiday enjoying a wealth of culture. Temples, street art, and food halls were all fantastic. But these kids had heard about the Upside down museum Penang and just had to visit! Honestly, we would have missed this…

Stay At The Bayview Beach Hotel Penang, NOW!
In the pre-pandemic world, we stayed at the Bayview Beach Hotel Penang in March 2019. Jay and I visited Penang for the first time and fell in love with the island in 2004. Truth be told we knew nothing about Penang or Malaysia for that matter. Our flights to Australia were on a special offer…
Go to Batu Ferringhi, right now!
2 years ago we were just back from Batu Ferringhi, 2 whole years ago! I can’t believe how time has flown by so quickly and how life has changed so much. Travelling as a family of 5 is always a bit of a challenge, somehow more difficult than a family of 4. Lots of hotels…

How we checked into the wrong Bangkok hotel
I like to write about destinations and trips and all the good things about travel. It’s been playing on my mind all of the funny/unexpected / slightly scary situations that I’ve found myself in over the years. I always have a bit of a chuckle when I look back so I thought I’d give you…
The Amazing Atlantis the Palm Hotel Dubai
In November 2019 I was lucky enough to have won a place on a trip to the Amazing Atlantis the Palm hotel in Dubai. After 15 years in travel, this was only my second fam trip, and it has set the bar high! Anyone who has ever considered Dubai as a holiday destination will without…
