"The glamour of the East had cast its spell upon him; the mystery of lands in which no white man had set foot since the beginning of things had fired his imagination; the itch of travel was upon him, goading him to restlessness"

My very first post!

Ok, after toying with the idea of writing a blog all summer, i have finally decided to get to it and give it a go! (thanks to my friend Laura!) 

So to get you up to speed with things, and to kick off my new blog in style, heres what you've missed! : 

In June i packed my rucksack and ventured off to South East Asia for 6 weeks, soaking up the culture, fashion, lifestyle and amazing views of Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand. I took over 2,000 photos, i'l keep it short and show you a couple of my favorites.  

Ankgor Wat. Cambodia 

Cambodian Orphan


Vietnamese homes 


The fortune tellers bridge (my blogs inspiration!) 

The market of my dreams in Vietnam 

The palace of my dreams! (a place to keep all the jewels i buy at the market!) 

TUBING! Vang VIeng, LAOS. the most amazing place on earth <3

So in a few select pictures and choice words, you have my South East Asian Adventure!... Take me back?
