When I made my way from Bali, to Singapore, to the islands of Thailand, I knew I HAD to go to Railay. Everything I saw - photos, videos - and stories I heard about Railay made me bump this beach high up on my Thailand itinerary.
I'm a sucker for high viewpoints.
In every city I travel to, one of my "must-dos" is to find a high viewpoint. Why? I love taking in the surroundings from the angle, seeing where I've walked around below.
Plus, much of the time it includes an adventurous aspect like a hike or stumbling across it unexpectedly. #adventure
With my camera in tow, I've made it to the top of some incredible high viewpoints around the world.
And, as always when it comes to traveling, there is often a story behind the photo.
In this post I'm sharing with you 16 of my absolute favorite viewpoints I've been to around the world!
What's it like to travel to seven countries in 4.5 weeks across multiple continents?!
It's tough to sum up such an experience into one sentence.
You see, with travel - especially fast travel like this trip - I was constantly on the move: planning the trip as I went, keeping up with client work when I found internet connections, and trying to maximize my time in each amazing city I visited.
Exhausting and exhilarating could describe what it was like traveling to those places in a month's time.
"What?! You're sharing the worst moments too? Isn't traveling and the digital nomad lifestyle all cocktails and laptops on the beach?!"
With blogging, videos, and social media, we all choose to show the highlights of our lives.
In this post I'm sharing both sides of the story, as there are always positive and negative things that happen while traveling - just as there are positive and negative things that happen when you're home.
Here are the memories that stand out the most on this trip!
Macau is a unique treasure in Asia that you may have never heard of, but should definitely visit at least once in your life.
It's like a European piece of Asia, mixed with Portugal, a little bit of Las Vegas, and...egg tarts.
Oh, the egg tarts. So delicious. :)
I'm also pretty sure this is the only place in the world where you'll find signs written in both Chinese and Portuguese. It's pretty trippy at first glance, haha.
With ferries leaving about every half hour from Hong Kong, and the ferry ride only one hour each way, it's a quick & easy day trip.
Read on for my day trip guide to Macau & tips on the logistics of getting there from Hong Kong (hint: it's pretty simple!)
What I love about Bali is that it can suit all types of travelers, or travelers looking for a variety of things to do during their trip.
You can go the adventurous route, the spa/healthy cleanse route, yoga and meditation, spiritual, join the party scene...you name it!
Here are some fun and incredible things to do in Bali:
Bali suits any type of traveler - from the adventurous to the spa-fanatic to those looking for a party, and anything in between.
Bali is fairly inexpensive by western standards, which is another reason you’ll see travelers from all over the globe on the island.
When your money goes far in a country, you may want to consider upgrading your typical hostel or hotel for something a little different…like a villa!
Grab a group of friends or your family and enjoy your own home, private pool, and staff when you indulge in the villa life.
I wasn't planning to head to Singapore during my Asia/Pacific trip this year, but when one of the best flight deals from Bali to Krabi, Thailand flew through Singapore...with a long layover...I had to take advantage of the opportunity!
I was there for about another twelve hours or so, as I left at 11 am the next morning for my flight to Thailand.
With limited time on the mind, I squeezed in the couple of things I always try to do when I'm exploring a new city: find a high viewpoint and have a good meal!
