Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks
My girlfriend and I recently visited the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks in Koh Samui, and we had a great time. The rocks are located on the east coast of the island, and they are known for their unusual shapes, which resemble male and female which is why the Thai call them the grandfather and grandmother rocks (cause of course rocks are super old and has always been there!)
I was a little hesitant to visit the rocks at first, but I'm glad I did. They are actually quite beautiful, and they are a popular tourist destination. There is a small shrine located near the rocks, and there are also a few souvenir shops selling trinkets and souvenirs which I highly recommend looking at! Please, you must especially try the local desert/snack there called Kalamea! You won’t be able to find it again and I promise you will love it.
I would recommend visiting the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks if you are in Koh Samui. They are a unique and interesting sight, and they are sure to make you laugh.
Here are some tips for your visit:
Be respectful of the rocks and the shrine.
Bring water and sunscreen (there is no shade)
Wear proper shoes to walk on the rocks
I hope this helps and I hope you have a great time visiting the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks if you ever get the chance!

The Queen’s Head in Taiwan
These rock formations by the sea is a must visit when you come to Taiwain. I have booked a one full day trip via KLOOK APP and one of the must seen sites in Taiwan is included in this trip. You get a tour guide and a small group in a private van. Not the extremely crowded type.
There are pretty stop overs along the way that will allow you to take photos and enjoy the scenery!

Should you visit Ao Nang, Krabi Thailand?🇹🇭
Ao Nang, Krabi📍
5 Nights in Krabi! Krabi was one of the places in Thailand that I was excited for, but it didn’t really meet our expectations. Similar to Koh Samui, Ao Nang felt totally full of tourists and completely dedicated to tourists.
One of my biggest hates is when people try and beckon you into their restaurant or shop😂and you just could not walk anywhere without someone shouting ‘tuk tuk’ or ‘hungry?? Please have lunch at our restaurant?!?’ - totally not what I’m seeking when travelling.
Nevertheless, we did some really good shopping in Ao Nang & a nice trip to Railay Beach.
I think it’s just made us realise that we aren’t into places that are extremely popular with tourists, especially when we aren’t much into partying or drinking🤷🏻♀️

A TRIP AROUND THE PHI PHI ISLANDS, MAYA BAY!
Koh Phi Phi📍
We day-tripped from Koh Lanta to the Phi Phi Islands to explore the top tourist spots.
Maya Bay was our first stop & we had heard lots of negativity about it not meeting expectations. So our expectations were pretty low. Yes, there were crowds upon crowds of tourists. And yes, the toilets made me heave multiple times. However, the beach truly is beautiful. And the sand is so white and so so soft.
Next, we went to Viking Bay - I found it interesting that this is where they harvest bird nests to make traditional Chinese soup?! How random.
We snorkelled nearby & I’ve never snorkelled before. For my first experience, it surely was a frightening one😂 Firstly, I couldn’t get my snorkel to work. Constant mouthfuls of water & waves hitting me in the face. Finally, when I could breath & actually see what was beneath me, I instantly regretted it. Two Blacktip Reef Sharks in the water below. I have Ellie telling me that there were trigger fish in the water (not nice fish) & also saying that there was a barracuda (it was not, in fact, a barracuda). So, the entire time, I was freaking out :) After the second shark sighting, it was a fast swim back to the
boat.
We then headed to the main part of Phi Phi, Phi Phi Don, to have some lunch and look around shops- there was a lovely Burger King & McDonald’s facing eachother👯♀️
Finally, we went to Bamboo Island where we swam in the crystal clear water & had the absolute best time. I think Bamboo Island has the best water we’ve ever swam in.
Overall, we had such a fun day exploring Phi Phi & we are so glad that we just did a day trip, instead of staying on the super party island!

Lamma island
I can't tell that it's worth seeing but if you have already visited the most famous sightseeing in Hong Kong and wanna be distracted from crowded places for a bit , you can take a ferry at the Pier 4 from the Central station to Lamma island .
it will take you 40 minutes to go there .
the island is a little bit dirty itself , especially the beach 😞 but the view is still picturesque .
the only problem you might face is a queue on the way back , we didn't expect that , because during our walk on this island we met just few people , where they were hiding we have no idea 😂 , probably they were saying in the seafood restaurants next to the piers 🤭

Overlooking Canyonlands National Park
Taken from Dead horse point overlook which is the state park of Utah in untied states, Moab.
There are several hiking trails here, the hike to dead horse point is a total of 16km if you take all the spurs but 8km if you take none. The overlook are gorgeous and breathtaking but do be very cautious as these overlooks are not fenced up. At times it might be slippery due to rain. There are several overlooks here that you can explore before you reach dead horse point outlook are:
- Big Horn Overlook
- Rim Overlook
- Shafer Canyon Overlook
- Meander Overlook
There are also several arches in the state park, the popular one would be the Mesa Arch in the pictures attached and another would be the delicate arch which will be in another post.
But if you are lazy, you can just drive all the way up to dead horse point overlook, park there and head to the little outlooks around the carparks. The drive though, can take from 30mins to a few hours depending on your interest and stop points. So make sure you plan your trip there.
There will be an entrance fee of $10USD for each vehicle entering the park.

One of nature's wonders!
Bay of Fires is a tourist hotspot, and I could totally see why the moment I got there! It was an hour's drive into the Conversation Area but oh so worth it. The view was expansive and so beautiful!
The rocks were unevenly coated with bright orange lichen and waters were crystal clear that I could see the sand underneath and little fishes in the water. I spotted some crabs in between the rocks too.
The carpark is quite small, only good for approx. 10 cars so be sure to get there early especially during the holiday season. Another tip is to check the weather forecast before heading down. I went on a rainy day but thankfully the rain stopped and the skies cleared up after a while.

Rock climbing in Hampi
Hampi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in India located near Hospet town in Karnataka. Among the attractions of Hampi are beautiful temples, ruins of palaces, treasury buildings and a stunning landscape with cool rock formation.
It's a bouldering or rock climbing paradise. The endless trails of boulder hills give a range of options based on your level. Thought it is not primarily known for climbing, Hampi has a number of places where the bouldering folks camp. Even without a guide you can drive around and climb some easy rocks and enjoy the stunning landscape.
📍 Hampi, Karnataka, India
🚍 Easiest way to get to Hampi is by bus. Most long distance busses arrive in the early morning.
🏨 Guesthouse and hotels for your budget. Most accommodations are simple but nice.

The Real Fairy Tale Setting
This is one place which will make you believe that nature works in its own unique ways.
Fairy Chimneys like the name says look really like being from a fairy tale.Carved by lava, wind, rain etc over hundreds of thousands of years, wonderful hiking in the area.
Located in central Turkey is known for its distinctive " fairy chimneys," tall, cone-shaped rock formations clustered in Göreme and near by valleys. This by far has been one of my favorite places to visit, with a moon like landscape, underground cities, cave churches daiting back to the Byzantine era, and houses carved in the rocks! This region took my breath away...
These mountains and terrain is a must visit and second to none.

This is a mountain "Gran Sasso" in L'aquila province (Italy), my hometown. It's always amazing walking in the mountain and stay in contact with the nature. Everyone should stay more outside than inside.
