Sailing in Ha Long Bay

My sister and me were blessed with incredible sunsets and almost no hazy weather conditions when we cruised around Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Like a happy puppy with a new toy, I happily snapped photos during our 2 day trip (hundreds of them in fact). […]

Sri Lanka in 100 photographs

It was during my third and final year at UCL that I decided to extend my half term break and book (relatively) cheap flight tickets to Sri Lanka. I had a pretty full plate with lab experiments for my dissertation, job applications and general London chaos, […]
