Who are the Life Unclocked Travellers?

Welcome to our travels which we see as our life no longer attached to a time clock; Life Unclocked.

Our adventures have taken us across continents, through bustling cities and tranquil countryside alike. With each destination, we’ve come to appreciate not just the places we see, but the experiences that linger — the aroma when walking through fresh food markets, the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, or the laughter shared over a steaming bowl of pho in Saigon.

We’re Nick and Wendy, travel lovers who carefully plan our trips. While we used to pack in as much as possible, now, free from jobs and family schedules, we’re looking forward to exploring at a slower pace.

Freed from the pressures of deadlines, we relish mornings that unfold slowly—a cup of coffee on a quiet balcony, the sunrise painting rooftops in hues of gold, the gentle rhythms of unfamiliar streets guiding our footsteps toward new discoveries. Each day, unbound by routine, offers the chance to connect more deeply with the world around us and with each other, finding joy in spontaneous detours and the simple pleasures that come with a life lived at our own pace.

I was having a bad hair day today, so having passed many massage places mentioning hair shampoo I thought I’d give the experience a whirl. Turned out to be far more than just a shampoo and blow dry!  It’s a “buffet” of relaxation, including shampoo, deep scalp massage and a facial over the course of...

So, our last day in Hong Kong, and the end of the trip in our first country. We’ve had a great few days here, but took it a little easier on the last day as we’ve worn ourselves out pretty much with all the walking. BTW, we’ve been keeping a track of our steps through...

Early start today in order to make the high speed train departing at 9:50am. Believe it or not the alarm had to be set for 6am as we knew the short car ride to the station would be in peak morning Beijing traffic and we had to be at the station an hour before departure....

Set a short ride outside of Hua Hin is Rajabhakti Park, which has seven magnificent statues of soldiers through various eras. Each statue is 14 metres high, and the detail is incredible on each one of them. We sneaked around the back of the statues also, and the detail is continued on all sides. (So...
