Photo Journal: Venice, Italy

Yes, it’s gotten a little too touristy. Yes, there are too many billboards detracting from the beauty of the city. Yes, there are busloads of tourists pouring through buying up all the tacky souvenirs. And yes, everything is ridiculously overpriced (because of the dull tourists who know no better and are happy to pay twice as much for their coffee for the privilege of sitting outside in the piazza to drink it. Twats.). BUT, Venice is still stunning.

Photo Journal: Wat Pho Temple Complex, Bangkok

Bangkok is one of my favourite cities in the world. It’s completely underrated and misunderstood, and when I hear people giving Bangkok a bad wrap, I get weirdly defensive… it’s just an awesome city!

I’ve been to Bangkok a few times now, and I still love visiting the Grand Palace and Wat Pho Temple Complex. All the clichés of being breath-taking and awe-inspiring still don’t do this place justice.
