Hello! Let's talk about travel and holidaying.

Where have you been recently? Show some pictures! Tell some stories!

Where have you got planned? What are you going to do there?

Do you travel much/not often? Near or far?

Try to keep images non-massive and not thousands of them

Iceland 2013

Most beautiful place I've ever visited, hands down. Peaceful, relaxing, remote, stunning scenery around every road bend - waterfalls, snowcapped mountains, sea, barren plains, volcanoes, lakes..

We spent 15 days in total driving around the ring road and staying in local hostels.

Malaysia & Singapore 2012

Wonderful country - baking hot, beautiful scenery, thick jungle, amazing food, excellent hiking and exciting cities.

We started in Kuala Lumpur and travelled off into the jungle of Taman Negara to spent a couple of nights up river there. Then Cameron Highlands where we visited tea plantations and hiked, Penang Island where we suffocated from the heat and ate the tastiest street food. Flew to Singapore and shopped/explored museums/went to the zoo (and the incredible night safari) and back to KL for relaxation.

Only had the old crap camera so most photos we took were blurry and horrible.

Up later this year is a quick shopping trip to London for me and a city trip (full week and a bit) for us to Hong Kong and Macau. Want more of that asian street food.

That camera seems pretty sick but it might just be because you're shooting film

That halo effect is cool

Would love to go to Japan one day - it's not as expensive as I previously thought.

We found flights from here for like €650 which is a lot less than I always expected. Can imagine doing a whole trip for about 2 grand or even quite a bit less

no i just took a picture of them while the guy was checking to see if they had another size.

i ended up buying sophnet boots instead. pretty similar except they have a side zip and were like $150 cheaper.

That sounds great. China is so dauntingly huge once you start looking away from the big cities.

4 nights. no firm plans yet but one of my friends lives there so i will stay with him. another friend might come along; he's still debating whether he wants to go.

plans are still pretty fluid, as i just bought tickets today. i will probably do like a day at the beach, a day walking around/shopping, one evening in macau, and then we'll see what else. probably not disneyland.

ah you should definitely come! i'm staying here until the end of the month. life is cheap and people are very easy going. there's a great music scene as well. clubs are very different to what i've seen in france. it's like everything is made to make ugly people comfortable. there are no mirrors (even in the bathrooms!) and the dress code is super casual. the more homeless you look, the better. people are here to actually listen to the music (and dance) and not to hit on others which is very refreshing
