Joking I love Vietnam but I’ve just been hit with a bout of food poisoning in Vietnam. It was supposedly “mild,” but it definitely didn’t feel mild at the time! 😅 It was bound to happen on a trip the length of ours even whilst taking precautions🤣🤷‍♀️

The worst part? We think it was completely self-inflicted.

Sam and I have eaten exactly the same things all week. The only difference was a cooking class we took, where we cooked our own meals…

So unless the universe just decided to pick on me, it looks like my cooking skills might need a little more work (Cook the chicken longer after the teacher says to!) 🍜🤦‍♀️

Thankfully, I’m feeling much better now and ready to get back to exploring. Another backpacking lesson learned!

A toilet on a sleeper bus in Vietnam. Our prayers have been answered. 🙌🚽 And if you’re currently backpacking or ever have done you will be just as excited as I am🤣

Sleeper buses have been our main form of transport lately, but if you know me and Sam, you’ll know our bladders aren’t exactly built for long journeys. 😂

There’s something about knowing there isn’t a toilet nearby that turns it into a mental battle. Suddenly it feels like you need the toilet every 30 minutes because you know you can’t. Then you can’t sleep incase you miss the toilet stop in the middle of the night🙄🤣

Safe to say, spotting a toilet onboard felt like finding first class luxury. 🚍✨ It really is the little things whilst backpacking that make ALL the difference🤣🤷‍♀️

Guilty… as charged! 🤣

The Ha Giang Loop with was hands down 4 of the best days of our travels so far. The views, the roads, the people, the experience… absolutely unforgettable. 🏍️⛰️

If you’re thinking about doing the loop, save yourself some money by booking through the link below and use code TMWITHLUCY for a discount. 🙌 https://hagiangmotorventures.com/tours?affCode=OZS5KK

And yes… the Arc’teryx jackets went viral for a reason. They’re warm, waterproof, and perfect for adventures like this. Although we somehow managed to avoid the rain the entire time on the loop! 🌤️

At least we looked the part. 🤣🤷‍♀️

Bonus: our lead driver .203 has officially been influenced too! 😆

Our first VIP cabin sleeper buses in Vietnam and I’m beyond impressed 🤯🇻🇳

Wide bed, USB charging, WiFi, controllable AC, blackout curtains on both sides… and even a MASSAGING function on the bed 😭✨

Compared to some of the “sleeper buses” we’ve had before that were basically just reclining chairs, this feels next level luxury.

Sleeper buses are the most affordable and easiest ways to travel the country (apart from flying💰‼️) so when a boujee one like this in Vietnam is only £4 more for the same 12hour journey, it’s hard to go back to the basics.

Safe to say my sleeper bus standards are now wayyyy too high 😂

Hanoi, Vietnam knows how to welcome us🤣
Heating when it’s already 36° outside.
Locked out of rooms.
Unwashed bedding.
Bugs, geckos… and somehow even MORE bugs 🐜🦎

Budget travel isn’t always dreamy sunsets and rooftop cocktails. Sometimes it’s sweating through the night wondering what just crawled across the wall 😅

But this is the reality side of backpacking that Instagram doesn’t always show. The good, the bad, and the slightly terrifying.

Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾✨

A very much needed few chilled days exploring a new city. The infinity pool quickly became a highlight of our trip, with panoramic rooftop views of the Petronas Towers, KL Tower and Merdeka 118 lighting up the skyline. 🌃

Temples, monkeys and city views — KL was the perfect reset. 🤍

Visiting the phiphi island, Phuket, Thailand 🇹🇭
The value for money on this tour was crazy-
If this island cluster isn’t on your bucketlist already then it should be. Seeing Maya Bay after watching the 2000 movie with Leonardo dicaprio in real life was a punch me moment🤯 snorkelling in water so clear it doesn’t look real, limestone cliffs towering around us… honestly, no words.🥹

Heres the link to book- https://gyg.me/Bl7jb1AV

I was convinced that the instant happiness and “I need some vitamin sea”thing must have some scientific logic… and turns out it does.✅🌊😊

Being near the ocean is linked to something called “blue space,” which is proven to reduce stress, calm the mind, and boost your mood. The sound of waves actually slows your brain down into a more relaxed state, almost like meditation without trying.

The sea air is also packed with negative ions, which may help increase serotonin—aka the chemical that makes you feel happier. And then there’s the horizon, the space, the rhythm of it all… it naturally pulls you out of your head and into the present moment.🥰

So that instant sense of calm and happiness? It’s not random. And I’m loving every second spent in the sea whilst travelling🩵 definitely a mermaid or sea creature in my past life 🤣
