I checked out Augustiner, Hofbrauhaus and Ayingers to see which was my favourite Bavarian Beer Hall in Munich

Taking a look back at some of my favourite blog posts and writing from 2012

I travelled more than I thought I was going to in 2012 – here’s a look at all my trips that I took in 2012.

That time I stayed in a luxury villa in the middle of the Liwa Desert

Ending 2012 with a bang by visiting 2 new countries – hello to unexpected desert adventures and more in the United Arab Emirates and a wintery time in Munich!

What happens when you are stuck on a boat with no toilet in the middle of a scuba diving trip when your period hits? A TMI story about what I did next.

Last two days of dive logs from Manado where we found cool harlequin shrimp and lots of hairy orang utan crabs.

That time I spent a week talking to people on twitter via @hellofrmsg

The famous Lembeh Straits are a hotbed of amazingly weird underwater creatures – check out some of these beauties including ghost pipefish, frogfish galore and the super poisonous blue ring octopus.

From Mandarin Fish mating to mantis shrimps hidden in the sand – just a fraction of my dive log from scuba diving in Manado and Bunaken in November 2012
