Mingalaba! Solo Hiking in Myanmar is not possible everywhere, but the popular stretch between Kalaw and Inle Lake is one of the few possible places to do it, and it was for sure the place that I liked the most during my time backpacking in Myanmar! The route to go hiking Kalaw to Inle Lake…
To go and travel to Myanmar is a complicated question for some people. I spent a few weeks backpacking there and got my answer. The short answer I do not agree to boycott Myanmar. The long answer I’m writing these lines just a couple of days after spending three weeks backpacking in Myanmar and I…
Ahhh Bagan! likely the most photographed place in all of the country. I spent a couple of nights backpacking in Bagan there while having some adventures travelling in Myanmar and absolutely loved it! Bagan was one of the most powerful empires in SE Asia and around the 12th century they had built over 10000 temples,…
If I have to name one place over all the ones I visited when I was backpacking in Thailand, I don’t need to think twice to put Tonsai Beach right at the top (Make sure not to confuse this climbing paradise spot with Tonsai Bay at Koh Phi Phi) This little gem near Krabi is…
Sah wah dee khrap! After slowly making my way up north from the south of Thailand on my solo backpacking adventures, I arrived to Chiang Rai, which is a lot less famous than its northern “neighbour” Chiang Mai (they’re 4h apart by bus). In fact, many people only comes to Chiang Rai as a one…
The islands of Koh Phi Phi may be the most famous of the +1400 islands around Thailand, thanks to the movie The Beach and Backpacking in Phi Phi is almost a must for most travellers. I was not entirely sure to add it to my trip as I’m normally looking for nature and outdoor activities…
If there was something I knew before arriving to Georgetown from feedback I got from other backpackers when I was travelling in Malaysia is that I was definitely staying camping in Penang at the Monkey Beach! Penang’s National Park should be a must for you if nature is your thing and it’s perfect for solo…
Monsoon season when backpacking in Malaysia means that even if you don’t care about getting wet, many of the most visited places are actually closed, specially in the East Coast. Right in the midlle of the country, when I tried to go hiking in Taman Negara this was not an exception. When I visited Taman…
Upon arrival for some days backpacking in Penang and asking at my hostel in Georgetown on what sort of stuff I could do around before going Camping in Monkey Beach, the first one that caught my attention was to go Hiking in Penang Hill. Having multiple trails to access, I decided to start by the…
I did this hike while spending 3 days in KL. As I’m always looking to do something a bit off the beaten path, I thought it was going to be a bit challenging to go hiking in Kuala Lumpur. Fortunately it was not too difficult to find a couple of trails close enough from the…
I arrived to KL by bus from Malacca and thought of it as just a stepping stone towards my next destination as I’m normally looking for nature rather than to stay in big cities so I didn’t look in advance into what sort of things to do in Kuala Lumpur I could do. However, as…
Starting my days backpacking in Malaysia, I arrived to Malacca, or Melaka, by bus from Singapore to Malacca. I knew it’s an Unesco Cultural Heritage site but didn’t really know at all what to expect. In all honesty, my initial impression was a bit underwhelming, I could find charm but nothing spectacular that could explain…
