Bucket list moment alert! 📢 Watching the sunris

Bucket list moment alert! 📢 Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat is an absolute must — it’s pure magic! 🧡

No surprise it was named the 8th wonder of the world in 2023, beating out Italy’s Pompeii! Did you know Angkor Wat is so big, it could fit the entire city of Paris inside its walls? 🤯

Pro tip: If you’re flying from Sydney, @flyairasia has got you covered with easy and affordable flights! ✈️

#airasia #gosomewheredifferent #flytheworldchampion #angkorwat #ankor #wondersoftheworld

Planning a trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia? Here’s y

Planning a trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia? Here’s your ultimate guide! 🇰🇭✨

🛕 Temples to Visit: Experience the magic of a sunrise at Angkor Wat. We left our hotel at 5 AM to catch the stunning pre-dawn colours painting the sky - it’s worth the early start! Marvel at the smiling faces of Bayon Temple and lose yourself in the mystical charm of Ta Prohm, where ancient trees intertwine with the temple ruins. Tip: Reserve your tickets in advance! If you’re planning to visit multiple temples, the 3-day pass is the best way to go.

🌊 Floating Village: A visit to Kampong Kleang is like stepping into another world. This lesser-visited village offers a raw and authentic glimpse into life on the water, with stilt houses rising over the river during the dry season and floating boats bustling with activity.

🏨 Where to Stay: Pavilion d’Orient Boutique Hotel is a charming oasis with friendly staff and a tranquil pool area—perfect for unwinding. It is slightly out of the hustle and bustle, and costs approx $74 AUD a night for a massive 42sqm room.

🍴 Where to Eat: ‘Wild’ is a must-visit, serving up creative takes on spring rolls. Other restaurant recommendations are ‘Sambo Khmer & Thai Restaurant’ and ‘Mealea Watbo’.

🍳 Cooking Class: One of our favorite experiences! With our guide Ben, we delved into the daily lives of Cambodians at a local market before learning to cook traditional dishes like Amok—rich, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. Also, the best part? Some of the money goes towards supporting orphan children, providing them a place to sleep and eat.

🍻 Pub Street: Wrap up your day with the buzz of Pub Street, packed with vibrant bars, lively restaurants, and a fantastic atmosphere. Beers are less than $1 USD, and you might even get a few free shots too!

✈️ How to Get There: @flyairasia operates flights to over 166 destinations across 25 countries, making your adventure to Siem Reap seamless and accessible. Highly recommend purchasing a seat in the quiet zone for overnight flights. These come with extra legroom and recline, for approximately 30 AUD per person.

Which temple would be your favorite in Siem Reap?

Which temple would be your favorite in Siem Reap? 🛕 Here’s what we loved about each one:

• Angkor Wat: Our guide brought its incredible history to life—an absolute must-visit! Arrive around 5 AM to catch the sunrise and watch the colorful sky reflect on the moat or the small lake near the main structure for the best views.

• Ta Prohm: The crowd favorite with massive trees growing through the ruins—it’s like walking through an abandoned maze with endless pathways and hidden corners to explore 🌳
 • Baphuon: Olly’s top pick—felt like stepping into Temple Run! Don’t miss the stairway to the top for breathtaking views (and keep an eye out for the cheeky monkeys 🐒)
 • Bayon Temple: Those iconic smiling stone faces are just as enchanting up close.

• Beng Mealea: A peaceful jungle escape, full of mystery 🌿. Located further from Siem Reap’s center, it’s quieter and far less crowded.

Big thanks to @flyairasia for flying us to this unforgettable destination! Where are you heading next? ✈️

Why am I dancing, you ask? Because last weekend, AirAsia threw an epic event at Chatswood Westfield in Sydney! ✈️✨

The day was packed with fun activities, but the real excitement came from the chance to win FREE flights! Here’s how you could snag a trip:

1. Already have a flight booked? Just jump up and touch your dream destination! Win a trip for the same number of people as your original booking!

2. No flight yet? No problem! Just dance for 30 seconds, and you might just win a holiday! I even scored a free flight to Bangkok! 💃✈️

And guess what? In just a few weeks, we’re off to a NEW destination with @flyairasia. We can’t wait to share our adventures! 🌍❤️

Feeling fresh as a daisy 🌼 after spending a couple of days at the @bay_and_bush lifestyle retreat in @visitshoalhaven 😍

We tried so many activities for the first time, making it a seriously memorable and relaxing experience (particularly for Olly who hadn’t done anything like this before). From sound bathing to yoga, pilates, ice baths, massages and more! It blew us away honestly! 🤯

The instructors for each activity were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. And made us feel right at home as we were learning the ropes! The food at the retreat was also incredible 👌🏽

It was so nice to unwind and take some time for ourselves as we awakened our senses of touch, see, hear, taste and smell. 🧘‍♂️

The region of Shoalhaven on the South Coast of NSW is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle, recharge and take in the gorgeous scenery!

There are many steps involved before we get onto the plane BUT once we board with our favourite airline Kate immediately goes into relaxation mode 😝

Fun fact - we always have to arrive at least 3 hours before our flight to check in. Does anyone else do this? 😂

Planning a trip to Tuscany in 2024? Here’s our number one tip ❤️

You always hear people talk about inland Tuscany, from the wineries to the quaint hilltop towns. And it’s so true - this part of the region is beautiful but we would highly encourage you to visit the coast 🌊

In the south of Tuscany is an area known as Grosseto. We stayed at the beautiful Hotel Il Pellicano in Porto Ercole but there are multiple hotels and Air BnBs close by. From there, you can take a boat to the neighbouring islands of Giglio and Giannutri.

It’s a day trip that you won’t forget! Take a boat, dive in the ocean (a few times) and grab a bit to eat at Ristorante La Margherita on Giglio Island🍝

You will be one of the few tourists around.. and isn’t that the best part about travelling!

OUR TRAVEL GUIDE TO SINGAPORE 🇸🇬👇🏽

We have been lucky to explore this incredible city on multiple occasions with @singaporeair so whether you have 1 day or 5 days here is what you should do:

1. C’è La Vi at Marina Bay Sands: the famous bar - and for a good reason! Head up an hour or two before sunset if you want to skip lining up 🍹

2. Gardens By The Bay: Explore this spot in the late afternoon - wander around, visit the Cloud Forest and the Flower Dome before catching the light show at 7.45pm or 8.45pm 💡

3. ArtScience Museum: this building is architecturally beautiful & positioned on the waterfront in front of Marina Bay Sands. Highly recommend the ‘Future World: Where Act Meets Science’ exhibit 🎨🧬

4. Hawker Centres: It’s not a visit to this city without heading to a Hawker Centre 🤤 Try the Carrot Cake, Satay Skewers, Curry with Roti and freshly made dumplings! Our two favourites are Maxwell Food Centre and Lau Pa Sat.

5. Cafe Monochrome: have you ever been to a 2D cafe? Grab your morning coffee and a bite to eat in a unique venue ☕️

6. LeVel 33: this is the worlds highest urban microbrewery with amazing views over Singapore’s Marina Bay. It still feels like a bit of a secret in the city considering how great the food is! 🍺

7. Changi Airport: our favourite airport in the world! Make sure you spend some time exploring the Jewel 💎

8. Ice Cream Museum: you had us at ice cream! This Museum is a cool place to visit, particularly with children. And yes, you get to eat a lot of ice cream 🍨

9. JUMBO Seafood Restaurant: if you haven’t tried Singaporean Chilli Crab before, this place is a must. 🦀

10. Marina Bay Light Show: every evening at 8pm and 9pm there is an epic light and water show at the Event Plaza outside of Marina Bay Sands 🙌🏼

11. Marina Bay Sands Mall: This has to be one of the coolest shopping centres we have come across.

12. Singapore Zoo: It’s a great place to bring the family 🦧

13. Universal Studios: With numerous rides and activities it’s the perfect place to feel like a big kid again 🙈
