The professional development I have been through has undoubtably helped me mature personally too, and continues to do so every single day. I am a better person because of my experiences at work. One thing that has been bubbling in my brain for the last year or so is the desire to write some blog…

A brief dive into my journey with food
When the fog started to lift, I wanted to find ways to get my energy levels back up, and so I started to research more into food and the impact your diet can have on you physically, mentally & emotionally. When I lived in London, cooking was never a priority for me. Sure, I dabbled….
Can a CatDog actually blog?
If you look at the rest of this blog, I’d forgive you instantly for thinking the answer is ‘no’. I sporadically blogged from a trip to Asia in 2011, and then apparently had a burst of creativity again whilst in Jerusalem 3 years later, which is over 5 years ago now. I’d actually completely forgotten…
I’m back..
Ok, so clearly it has been a couple of years since I last blogged. Last you heard of me I was sat in Vietnam, cruising deltas and preparing to move up the country. A lot has happened since then. More than a lot. In fact, I’ve been to 31 new places (some for work, some…
The One With… The Mekong Delta
Another day in Saigon, another tour. We had limited time in the south of Vietnam, and I do wish we’d had more time to go further and explore at a more leisurely pace – both the Mekong Delta and also go to the beautiful Phu Quoc. But, having full time jobs, we had what time…
The One With… Slim Jim
We decided to take a half day tour to the infamous Củ Chi tunnels down to the south of Ho Chi Minh City. We figured half a day was long enough to see the tunnels, without taking up the whole day and without the risk of losing a whole “Vietnamese day” if the tour turned out…
The One With… The Vietnamese Rain
After coming out of the War Museum, we went around the ‘prison exhibition’ (I don’t really know how else to describe it). A walk through route showed you real prison cells and photos / stories on the wall talked you through the horrors facing the people kept in these tiny, cramped cells. They also talked…
The One With… The American War
My experience with Saigon can only be described as an assault on the senses. Even on the bus journey in, whilst trying to stop feeling sick and looking out the window, we witnessed a motorbike crash. I could not get over the sheer volume of motorbikes – they were everywhere. With seemingly no road rules…
The One With… The Infamous Night Bus
We celebrated my birthday the night before the actual day, as we had planned to get a bus to Vietnam at 7am the day after, and there was no way I would be able to get up and get on that bus after a night out. However, after thinking about it, we decided to change…
The One With… The Tranquil Temples (Or “One Dollaaaaaaaaar”)
After our slightly scary taxi ride, we arrived at our hostel, Siem Reap Rooms Guesthouse and got settled in. One of the owners, Melissa, gave us an extensive run through of the Angkor Temples and our various options. We’d heard the temples were amazing at sunrise and sunset, but having had a pretty long day already,…
