Is Don Det Worth It? Why We Loved This Little Island

See you on Instagram

I mean it’s super hard to just pick 10, because the whole trip was incredible 💥

But here’s some of our favourite memories from our 5 months of travelling Thailand, Vietnam and Laos ⬇️

Save this for some ideas for your next trip 📌

1️⃣ The ride from Chiang Mai to Pai, we did this self guided and highly recommended! We heard horror stories of the van rides so knew that would be a no go and we defo didn’t regret it 🛵
2️⃣ Christmas in Koh Kood 🎅🏻🎄
3️⃣ Seeing in 2024 on Koh Chang, WHAT A VIBE 🎆
4️⃣ Getting engaged in Ha Long Bay, a moment we will NEVER forget 💍❤️
5️⃣ Chilling in the Mekong river on Don Det 🌅 (who can say they’ve done that 😂)
6️⃣ Travelling Northern Vietnam on the back of Betsy
7️⃣ Getting our dress and suit made for the wedding in Hoi An and Hoi An in general, every time we go we fall more in love and it will forever be one of our favourite places 🏮
8️⃣ Getting our Sak Yants in Chiang Mai 🐲
9️⃣ Driving the buggy in Vang Vieng, this was SO MUCH FUN
🔟 That time we took our motorbike through Kong Lor Cave on the Thakhek Loop 🙈

And just an extra one for luck - one we couldn’t forget ❤️❤️

Our secret (unofficial) wedding in Koh Pha-ngan, seriously what a way to end the trip, we will never stop sharing this! 💍❤️

We’re Emma and Reece 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

We’re Emma and Reece 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨🩷

We’ve been together almost 5 years after meeting in our previous call centre job and we’ve been inseparable ever since 😍😍

We went travelling for the first time after 6 months of being together, a trip that was meant to last 18 months but we only reached 3 month due to covvvyyyy 🦠

But we never gave up on our dream of travelling and we were finally able to get our backpacks back on and finish what we started 🎒✈️🌏

We fell in love with travel and we are now chasing the freedom lifestyle, working from anywhere in the world and living life on our terms 🚐❤️🛵✨🚀🌅

We have some pretty incredible goals, which gets us sooo excited because everything we say we are going to do, we always do! 🥂🙌🏼

We hope to create a little community where we can share our life, tips, itineraries, travels stories for anyone who cares to listen 👫🏽📚✍🏼✈️

And yes there will be copious amounts of cat content as we’ve just become cat parents 😭🐾

We also have a YouTube channel, click the link in our bio and follow our adventures (don’t forget to subscribe) 🎥

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE ❤️

So, before we get back to sharing some travel cont

So, before we get back to sharing some travel content….

I (Emma) just wanted pop on and share some truths because yet again I’ve got myself into a ‘social media’ scroll hole, killing my creativity and making me feel what I have to share isn’t good enough 😤

It’s funny because I love social media, I love to watch people’s journeys, I love writing content and sharing what I’ve been up too 📸

But why am I so reluctant to stick with it and stay consistent??

That’s gunna have to take some digging, some reallll self coaching 📝

Since I’m the main ‘creator’ on our social media (it’s just not really Reece’s thing) I’ve honestly been struggling to find my feet, struggling to find our ‘voice’ and our ‘vibe’ especially because I’ve been ‘trying’ to figure out the Instagram/social media world for a while now, having started as a ‘coach’ sharing my own story, it’s now changed to ours ❤️‍🔥

Which unfortunately turned into an excuse and resulted in us not posting very much at all 😭😭

lol if you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll probably be thinking how the bloody hell I haven’t figured it out yet, and why are you explaining yourself again, we’ve heard it all before 😂

And trust me I know, but I’m not giving up, because when I’ve got it, when I’m in the flow…

I bloody love it 😂🫶🏼❤️‍🔥

So for now it’s about getting out this hole, rolling with it, post what I wanna post, share what I wanna share, not worry about things being perfect or having a certain aesthetic 🍃

Just throw myself into it, learn as I go 🫡

With CONSISTENCY being my focus here 📌

My phrase for the year is ‘don’t give up’ and that’s NOT what I’m going to do ❌

It’s time to grow some little lady balls, share the content I wanna share and start enjoying it all again ❤️❤️

Thanks for staying along for the ride guys, I know I’m hard work and constantly up and down (it’s the Aries in me) 🤪

But this is my line in the sand, this time it’s going to be different 👊🏼❤️‍🔥

Everyone meet our Ruckus 🐈❤️

We finally have our little boy home, and what a good little boy he is 😭

He’s settled right in, and we love him so much already 😍

I’m going to say this now… but I’m not sorry for the cat spam that we all know is coming 😂
