Now thinking back on this adventure I can say it’s one of the most amazing things I have ever done. As I told you in my previous post, I crashed my scooter the day before I left Chiang Mai to do a Mae Hong Song loop. Needless to say I was extremely nervous about doing … More Mae Hong Son Loop
Well this is definitely going to be a short post. All I remember about Chiang Mai was that after an incredibly relaxing massage I rented my first ever scooter and if you read my last post you can see what’s coming… Yes, I crashed it! After practicing in Ayutthaya the day before I felt I … More Chiang Mai
There was one slightly silly reason why I wanted to go to Ayutthaya – Wat Mahathat’s root-covered Buddha head. The picture of it was hanging on my wall when I was at uni and I never thought I would get to see the real thing. The head is probably the most common reason why people … More Ayutthaya

You can walk to Ushguli from Mestia in about four days if you want to stay in guesthouses or three days if you … More Ushguli
I remember I saw some photos of Svaneti region in Georgia and I instantly imagined myself wandering around some snowy peaks of the Caucasus Mountains. I won’t surprise you by saying that I headed there straight after landing in Kutaisi a day earlier. My parents and I jumped into a mini bus and a few … More Mestia
