Vanlife: The beginning. I never have seen myself living in a big house with a garden or a cute apartment I’ve made all my own. Sure I’ve wanted to own property, but more from a financial aspect rather than a place to call home. I only recently discovered van life (within the last 4 years)…

Gypsy Blood Fitness: Thailand – Kanchanaburi – Erawan Waterfalls
Waterfalls are in abundance in South East Asia but I would have to say that the Erawan Waterfalls was definitely a favorite! A picturesque few hours of outdoors fitness fun.

Gypsy Blood Cycles Vietnam: Cycling the Country South to North.
We’re cycling Vietnam. It was the shocker answer we’d say to locals and other backpackers on why we were in the country. It always took a few tries to explain that it was ‘BICYCLE’ and not ‘MOTORBIKE’. Even a few people couldn’t understand why on earth we would attempt such a silly thing! So we’ll…
