The current sitch at @artbeachclub. It's been a week of no alarm clocks, morning snorkels with beautiful fish, fresh coconuts, catching a tan, Pad Thai's for lunch, reading books, day dreaming, sunset mojitos and precious time with @mlunguson #purebliss
Loving being able to walk straight off the beach and snorkel literally meters off the shore. There's so much life out there it's incredible. Imagine how much more incredible it would have looked before all the coral was bleached.
Fantasizing about learning to sail, buying a yacht and traveling the world, one island at a time 🌴 #kohlipe #sailing
Can't get over how cool the @super_boring_club is! Just the name gets me! 🤣 I love that weeks are full of routine and weekends are for going out with friends and sleeping however long you like. Usually in the week I'm strict about when I wake up and getting myself to the gym. I eat healthy and all those things. But on the weekend all that goes out the window. It's about balance you know 😛 hope you all had a splendid weekend! Here's to a wonderful week ahead! x
A flashback to my 27th birthday. Loved listening to live music at the @geographer.kl. Live music is one of my happiest pleasures in life (so long as it's not a house band doing bad rendition of Wonderwall by Oasis 😝). This year we've got tickets to @the1975, soon we will have tickets to @thisislany and this week @saifaswell and I are fighting our way to get tickets for @teddysphotos. Cannot wait!! It's going to be marvelous. #happyamy #livemusic
Tomorrow I'm turning 27. Thanks 26, you've been a wild ride! I've loved the things you taught me and that you allowed me to embrace Amy a whole lot more. You took me to 6 different countries, you started zumba and you taught little Vietnamese darlings to giggle and say 'wash my face', while splashing their faces with water. 💦 You crashed on @mlunguson's staircase and you learned how to ride motorbike. You did married life backwards with @chrisrobertschrisroberts. You learned some Vietnamese and got a real big girl expat job! Here's to 26 🥂 📷 @rose_myolie - thanks Linh Oi! 😘

Sun, sea, wine and an incredible wedding! So fabulous to be in Cape Town again for @gengen1989 and @mbloom82 's wedding!! #rosesblooms
If you're from Edenvale, you'll appreciate how golden this sign is!! Growing up in The Vale, you were probably at some point referred to as The Scale from The Vale. In fact we weren't all that scaly but when I read this sign, I can't help but read it as 'Welcome to the fabulous effing vale' 🤣 On a serious note, this little gem, @kotajoesa is doing wonders for the old Van Riebeek Street. The Kota's are by no means healthy but they are damn delicious. I got the beef schwarma and asked them to replace the beef with halloumi to make a delicious veggie kota! #thevale #scalefromthevale #welcometothevale
So happy I finally got to visit @saigonsuzyjhb. This ceiling is just a thing if beauty!! The menu was such a wonderful reminder of my time in Vietnam. And today we have a slice of Vietnam 🇻🇳 joining us in South Africa 🇿🇦!! Welcome home @mlunguson and welcome to SA @rose_myolie!
We've been in our little apartment for 2 weeks today. I'm feeling so grateful to call this place home. The pool water is so fresh. It takes a bit of courage to get in but once the cool water washes over my body I feel so alive. We've used the gum nearly everyday and the yoga room is amazing for solitude and mental clarity. This place really is our sanctuary and we love being able to spend time at home. Tonight we're staying in and having make shift bunny chows! Can't wait! #homeisasanctuary #wellness
I'm sharing a bit of gratitude on the blog today. It's so easy to get bogged down by negativity and when you let yourself succumb to it, you might find yourself in a bad space for weeks. Moving to KL hasn't been sunshine and roses. I find the process of applying for jobs incredibly draining as it's just not in me to be able to sell myself through an email. I wish it was but it's one of my biggest weaknesses. The job search has caused a roller coaster of emotions but each day something small has made me so happy in this new city. This is the view from our apartment which I'm super grateful for plus the little European deli across the road that you can see in my stories. You'll find the link in my bio for all the other things in KL that have made me grateful. Let me know in the comments below what's making you happy today. xx
While in Bali, I had a lot of time to reflect on my time in Hanoi. As I reflected, I was so grateful for the many cool every things that I got to do while I was there. The best things are better when shared so I decided to put them all down in a blog post. In you live in Hanoi you're probably like agh, this girl knows nothing 😂 but that's ok. I loved these little spots so I hope someone will be able to enjoy them too! Check out the link in my bio for all the details. 📷 @ariwillson
I've started to travel to countries without reading up much before hand. I really enjoy not having an expectation before I get there. People always speak of Bali with such fondness and many people continue coming back. Bali has been everything. There's something for everybody and these sunsets have swooned me every single day 🌅 Our trip started with a complete Hanoi detox at a resort in Nusa Dua thanks to my lovely mom, @everonicaphillips. It was exactly what we needed and gave us a complete relaxed disposition for the rest of the trip. I ended off with a week on my own in Uluwatu which has been the most extraordinary week. I've loved being able to gather my thoughts and spending time in my own company. The beach time, the walking, the yoga. It's been so good for my soul. Thanks to @ariwillson and @kirst_ivy_lynn for making my time in Ulu's extra special! Now finally our next adventure starts in Kuala Lumpur! I'm so ready for this next chapter with you @chrisrobertschrisroberts ♥️ #balibaby #karangbomacliff
