Bucket list moment alert! 📢 Watching the sunris Bucket list moment alert! 📢 Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat is an absolute must — it’s pure magic! 🧡

No surprise it was named the 8th wonder of the world in 2023, beating out Italy’s Pompeii! Did you know Angkor Wat is so big, it could fit the entire city of Paris inside its walls? 🤯

Which temple would be your favorite in Siem Reap? Which temple would be your favorite in Siem Reap? 🛕 Here’s what we loved about each one:

• Angkor Wat: Our guide brought its incredible history to life—an absolute must-visit! Arrive around 5 AM to catch the sunrise and watch the colorful sky reflect on the moat or the small lake near the main structure for the best views.

• Ta Prohm: The crowd favorite with massive trees growing through the ruins—it’s like walking through an abandoned maze with endless pathways and hidden corners to explore 🌳

• Baphuon: Olly’s top pick—felt like stepping into Temple Run! Don’t miss the stairway to the top for breathtaking views (and keep an eye out for the cheeky monkeys 🐒)

• Bayon Temple: Those iconic smiling stone faces are just as enchanting up close.

• Beng Mealea: A peaceful jungle escape, full of mystery 🌿. Located further from Siem Reap’s center, it’s quieter and far less crowded.

Big thanks to @flyairasia for flying us to this unforgettable destination! Where are you heading next? ✈️

We tried so many activities for the first time, making it a seriously memorable and relaxing experience (particularly for Olly who hadn’t done anything like this before). From sound bathing to yoga, pilates, ice baths, massages and more! It blew us away honestly! 🤯
 
The instructors for each activity were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. And made us feel right at home as we were learning the ropes! The food at the retreat was also incredible 👌🏽
 
It was so nice to unwind and take some time for ourselves as we awakened our senses of touch, see, hear, taste and smell. 🧘‍♂️ 
 
The region of Shoalhaven on the South Coast of NSW is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle, recharge and take in the gorgeous scenery!

Planning a trip to Tuscany in 2024? Here’s our n Planning a trip to Tuscany in 2024? Here’s our number one tip ❤️

You always hear people talk about inland Tuscany, from the wineries to the quaint hilltop towns. And it’s so true - this part of the region is beautiful but we would highly encourage you to visit the coast 🌊 

In the south of Tuscany is an area known as Grosseto. We stayed at the beautiful Hotel Il Pellicano in Porto Ercole but there are multiple hotels and Air BnBs close by. From there, you can take a boat to the neighbouring islands of Giglio and Giannutri. 

It’s a day trip that you won’t forget! Take a boat, dive in the ocean (a few times) and grab a bit to eat at Ristorante La Margherita on Giglio Island🍝 

You will be one of the few tourists around.. and isn’t that the best part about travelling!

OUR TRAVEL GUIDE TO SINGAPORE 🇸🇬👇🏽 We OUR TRAVEL GUIDE TO SINGAPORE 🇸🇬👇🏽

We have been lucky to explore this incredible city on multiple occasions with @singaporeair so whether you have 1 day or 5 days here is what you should do:

1. C’è La Vi at Marina Bay Sands: the famous bar - and for a good reason! Head up an hour or two before sunset if you want to skip lining up 🍹

2. Gardens By The Bay: Explore this spot in the late afternoon - wander around, visit the Cloud Forest and the Flower Dome before catching the light show at 7.45pm or 8.45pm 💡

3. ArtScience Museum: this building is architecturally beautiful & positioned on the waterfront in front of Marina Bay Sands. Highly recommend the ‘Future World: Where Act Meets Science’ exhibit 🎨🧬 

4. Hawker Centres: It’s not a visit to this city without heading to a Hawker Centre 🤤 Try the Carrot Cake, Satay Skewers, Curry with Roti and freshly made dumplings! Our two favourites are Maxwell Food Centre and Lau Pa Sat.

5. Cafe Monochrome: have you ever been to a 2D cafe? Grab your morning coffee and a bite to eat in a unique venue ☕️ 

6. LeVel 33: this is the worlds highest urban microbrewery with amazing views over Singapore’s Marina Bay. It still feels like a bit of a secret in the city considering how great the food is! 🍺 

7. Changi Airport: our favourite airport in the world! Make sure you spend some time exploring the Jewel 💎

8. Ice Cream Museum: you had us at ice cream! This Museum is a cool place to visit, particularly with children. And yes, you get to eat a lot of ice cream 🍨

9. JUMBO Seafood Restaurant: if you haven’t tried Singaporean Chilli Crab before, this place is a must. 🦀

10. Marina Bay Light Show: every evening at 8pm and 9pm there is an epic light and water show at the Event Plaza outside of Marina Bay Sands 🙌🏼

11. Marina Bay Sands Mall: This has to be one of the coolest shopping centres we have come across.

12. Singapore Zoo: It’s a great place to bring the family 🦧 

13. Universal Studios: With numerous rides and activities it’s the perfect place to feel like a big kid again 🙈
