There’s no shortage of hotels in Siem Reap, Cambodia, thanks to the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat. Just a short drive outside of town, this archaeological site attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year. With so many hotels in Siem Reap, it can be hard to decide where to […]
Happy New Year! We’ve just clocked over into 2019 and we’re still going strong. Since we started travelling full time in the middle of October last year, we’ve visited four countries in total. In December we ticked off another two countries, Laos and Cambodia. Both of these countries are quite poor but are developing rapidly, […]
I have to admit that after visiting Thailand, we had grown accustomed to the friendliness of the locals. On the other hand, in Laos, it was a totally different story. Smiling locals were actually hard to find. It’s not that they were deliberately rude, they just weren’t particularly friendly like the Thais. But this really […]
The small town of Luang Prabang is located in northern Laos and has one of the most beautiful settings in south-east Asia. Sandwiched between the Mekong and the Nam Khan River, Luang Prabang is oh so pretty and ever so romantic! This old French colonial town became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 and […]
As you may know, we love the beach and when you love the beach you need a good beach towel. As full-time travellers, we also need a towel that is compact and easy to lug around. Unfortunately, until now we didn’t really own one. The beach towels we had were light for sure but they […]
I’m not going to lie, we love tropical islands. The clear blue sea, white sand, palm trees, what’s not to love? During our trip to Cambodia, we made sure we visited Koh Rong Sanloem, an island just off the coast of Sihanoukville. We stayed four nights on this paradise island and quite frankly we wish […]
A slow boat cruise down the mighty Mekong river was high on our list of things to do in Laos. In fact it was one of the most exciting experiences we had planned for the Southeast Asia leg of our trip. As we cruised slowly down the Mekong over two days before reaching Luang Prabang, […]
Chiang Rai has the reputation for being rather boring and because of that many visitors to Northern Thailand give it a miss. Although it’s certainly not as exciting as its big sister Chiang Mai, we think that Chiang Rai is absolutely worth the detour. It has some very interesting temples and is surrounded by some […]
Southern Thailand draws visitors from all over the world and it’s no surprise why. Its stunning islands and world-class beaches are so amazing that you couldn’t visit Thailand and not spend some time there. But when you’re done with sunning yourself on Thailand’s white sandy beaches and partying the night away at its beach bars, […]
That’s it! Another year has gone by again. It’s crazy just how quickly time flies by. 2018 has been another fantastic year for us, with lots of incredible travel experiences. We’ve visited five countries as well as exploring four Australian states and we’ve seen some amazing wildlife and done some crazy stuff. Choosing our top […]
Hi, I'm Cindy and I'm a travelholic. Simon is my husband and he's married to a travelholic! We're currently traveling full time, hoping to tick off as many places on our bucket list as we can. We hope you enjoy roaming along with us. Welcome to Free Two Roam!
