This is us in the Red Fort in Delhi at the beginning of our trip. At this point, we were only 25 selfies deep, instead of 250. Months later, I’ve finally written about our experiences in Delhi (we went there three times) including the one thing I saw that I could never forget. Check the bio for the link. . . . #backpackerconfessions #travelblogger #northindia #delhi #redfort #femaletravelbloggers #southasia #travelwriters #travelcouple We read a travel guide to Cambodia written by an ‘ex-pat’ living there who referred to backpackers as snails when wearing backpacks and slugs when not. He went on to rip on backpackers for wearing backpacks during the day - why can’t they put stuff in their pockets? And carrying water bottles - why can’t they just buy water - trying to save the planet mate 🤦🏼‍♀️ He also ripped on ‘flashpackers’ for booking hotels in advance but also slagged off backpackers who find accommodation when they arrive calling them cheap. There were certainly some weird vibes and I’ve honestly never encountered that sort of behaviour before and we read it pissing ourselves. That was Kampot but we’re on the islands now and we’ve seen none of that here...British people moving abroad and shitting on everyone including the people of their new country is not a good look 🤷🏼‍♀️😂🙄 . . . . #backpackerconfessions #southeastasia #cambodia #travelblogger #femaletravelblogger Vietnam - you are amazing! Massive cam on ban (thank you) to you and I WILL be recommending you to all my friends and family. 5 stars across the board apart from the night buses, which were frankly terrible. We love you and I hope we’ll be back 💗 .

There are so many health conditions like OCD that can be managed but they are actually exhausting, debilitating, come with feelings of shame, loneliness and anxiety yet we don’t make fun of them. When we stop making OCD into a flippant comment then we can actually support people and start to end the misleading narratives and perceptions of mental illness, in its myriad of forms 💗 . . . #mentalhealthblogger #OCD #ocdawareness #letstalkaboutmentalhealth #equality #ocdrecovery After the storms, comes the sun. We stayed in an eco resort for the first time ever...the gardens were beautiful and full of toads, frogs, birds, butterflies and lizards. HOWEVER, not everything was as eco-friendly as it could be, so I told them so when they asked for feedback. If you’re staying in a hotel or guesthouse anywhere in the world, ask them to be more sustainable, you’re the customer and many places are happy to take constructive feedback. . . . #ecoresorts #travelblogger #southeastasia #vietnam #phuquocisland #beabettertraveler #ecotravel #plasticfree #saveourseas Seeing tanks full of sharks, eels, snakes, frogs, turtles, rays and a variety of fish life in Southeast Asia’s seafood restaurants has made me think about overfishing and sustainable seafood. Check out my guide (link in bio) to ethical travel and eating sustainable seafood while in Asia. . . . . . #southeastasia #vietnam #muine #sharktanks #stopsharkfinning #travelblogger #beabettertraveler #backpackerconfessions #femaletravelblogger #overfishing #saveourseas #sustainableseafood #marineconservation #wildlifeblogger These are Cat Ba langurs, they’re one of the most endangered primates in the world and their tiny population lives on a protected island in Vietnam. Vietnam’s national parks are amongst the most beautiful in the world, but systematic poaching for food and medicine has left them empty...something that has been referred to as an animal genocide and adding to the #extinctioncrisis. If we want any wildlife on this planet we have to fight for it. . . Find out more in my article.
