Hello and Welcome!

This blog is about the experiences of two sisters as they travel the world on and off over several years. Our blog starts with our first major backpacking trip in 2010 to Southeast Asia. After catching the travel bug, we subsequently explored the world both individually and together. From seeing the colosseum in Rome, to trekking to Manchu Picchu in Peru, to rock climbing in Joshua Tree, we have allowed our experiences to help us grow in few ways other things can. Our goal for this blog is not only to capture our memories, but to share all of our experiences with the people we love! We hope you enjoy!

Railey - Pictures

View of East Railey from the lookout point, during the lagoon walk

View of West Railey - our Guesthouse was on this side of the peninsula



Us at the lookout

An Island just off the beach - we decided to swim over to it

The small beach that we swam to

Cool looking ship sailing by

Some of the rock formations that make Railey such a famous place for rock climbing
Almost like a typical Thai postcard...

Walking over to the fertility shrine

Part of the fertility shrine
Somebody had a pet monkey chained-up at the beach!


Some people rock climbing off the main beach - this is what Railey is famous for :)

Dinner! A pretty flower came with her drink :)

Group BBQ buffet dinner (from front to back: Caitlin, Mannix, Dexter, Jo)


Yakapo and Eugene - the lawyers from Italy

The whole group (the irish boys, english girls, english boys, and the italians)

Poi show

a long shutter speed helps to capture the quick movemet


Enjoying the show :)

The next morning, we head out on Tom's sailboat to go deep-water soloing

Some nearby islands on the way to the cliff




one of the many pink jellyfish floating by us in the boat

 The deserted beach beside the cliff - a small cave and the rocks we bouldered on are to the left side of the beach, just out of view


A partial view of the cliffs we climbed -
you can see Tom attaching the ladder and climbing up to the first platform
Geting shutled over to the cliff

Mapping out potential routes to climb
Chicken Island... can you see the head of the chicken?

View from the sailboat

The final deserted island we went to

Final stop - snorkeling near the deserted island

Our lovely sailboat :)

Some nearby islands



Ali and I tried to get a picture of us "jumping" in front of the sunset - unfortunately the guy taking the photo didn't know how to time it properly and this was the closest we got to us both being in the air
