OUR JOURNEY
From eye-opening adventures to shameless nights on the Zante strip. Here's our best and worst stories.
Peering through the plane window, excited like a kid approaching Lego Land. It’s hard not to stare at the towering Burj Khalifa, which pierces the sky, dwarfing everything and anything. Glistening like a gothic Emerald city, the tallest structure on Earth awaits us, and we can’t wait. Checking into our 5 Star, Mövenpick Ibn Battuta Gate […]
“Do you see that chair over there…there’s an old man who sits in it smoking his pipe. People have reported being able to smell his smoke – and his greasy hair!” No, not a dodgy regular at your local Wetherspoons…but a ghost. Lads Holiday Guide had been invited to enjoy a night at Britain’s oldest […]
“City of Love?” Yeah right… The first thing we see after jumping off the Eurostar was a tramp scrounging through the bins looking for food…. decent!! We step outside the Gard du Nord station and within seconds we’re both drenched. The weather reminds me of my ex missus’ face in the morning… Miserable and dull. […]
It’s 5am and I’ve just got off the phone to the hotel receptionist, who assures me the paramedics are on the way. I look over at Rory, his hands are red, there’s blood all over the bed, walls and carpet. Jimmy is sitting upright on the stained mattress, completely oblivious to the fact he’d just […]
![[Seattle, USA] Boeing Factory, Bubblegum and a "special" coffee](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.ladsholidayguide.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FSeattle-USA-Boeing-Factory-Bubblegum-and-a-special-coffee-scaled-1.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
Do NOT order a “special coffee” in Seattle, unless you want a semi-naked barista to do something filthy to your brew.
It’s 6.30am and I’m trying to sleep. My ears buzz from a heavy night of house at world famous club, Amnesia. There’s noise outside my balcony, lots of it. As I place the pillow over my head (tinnitus still beating me like a Drum and Bass rave) – I hear a loud scream followed by […]
“Has anybody ever died doing this?” I asked our Cuban tour guide. “Yes!” he shouts, as the noisy air boat lifts into the air and then crashes back down again onto the murky river. As the water poured aboard, I gripped even more firmly onto the side of the boat, before lifting my feet in […]
Sitting on the top floor lounge space in our hostel, me and Lee were full of optimism about taking on Penang’s renowned street food and incredibly famous beaches. After all, all the research i’d done had said nothing more than amazing things about the island. Penang, noted as the “ Crown jewel of Malaysia “ […]
You ever seen an elephant sh*t? Holy crap! It’s one of the things you’ll get to experience when visiting the Elephant Sanctuary, in Phuket – as well as feeding and washing with them. At first I wasn’t keen on going as I thought it was like the infamous Tiger Temple, a place known for drugging […]
After stumbling across a secret Ayahuasca shaman at a retreat in Phuket – I decided to give the powerful psychedelic a try.
