A lot of travelers have thing for seeking out “local” experiences instead of the overly touristy ones. While this isn’t really our niche (being people who usually tackle Trip Advisor’s top 20 attractions in every city and rarely talk to anyone other than each other), we do appreciate the more local experiences when we stumble …
Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China, located just south of mainland China. It comprises Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, the New Territories and 200+ other near islands in the South China Sea, covering over 400 square miles of land. Hong Kong is hard to label because it’s (basically) a country but also a …
It feels so good to be on the road again! After a jam-packed 18 days in Hong Kong, it is so nice to get back to our “normal” travel life. It’s been relaxing staying in nice hotels and spacious Airbnbs, but we’ve missed exploring new cities every couple days, packing and unpacking, and even the …
Hi, friends! Remember me?! I know it’s been a while since we checked into Hong Kong over three weeks ago. Hong Kong was a total whirlwind and filled with memories I will cherish forever. We saw some incredible sites, spent time with friends and family, and indulged in some serious points perks. Here’s a rundown …
Guys! Remember a few days ago when I cried about losing my laptop on a flight and how I was trying to accept that it was just gone because the airline hadn’t found it yet? Guess what?! THEY FOUND IT!!! It’s the best news ever, and I’m so excited that I’ll get all of my …

If this trip had an origin story, Hong Kong would be central to the story line. Our yearlong trip around the world really grew from the fact that we’d be in Hong Kong in December no matter what, so why not tack on six months of travel on either side? We are in Hong Kong …
Sometimes I don’t think I do a great job of actually taking you on this journey with us. I am working on doing a better job of capturing the things we do and the sites we see on a more regular basis. (I’m not going to lie, part of this is because I think maybe …
We’ve been in Asia for a couple weeks now. It has been incredible, but it hasn’t been the easiest place to be a tourist. The language barrier is real. There are lots of restaurants and museums and cafes where there is no English posted, and even if there is English posted, many of the people …
Kenny blogs more extensively about Disney travel over at Mouse Hacking, where we’ve also got a guide to planning a trip to Shanghai Disney Resort. While we won’t say we chose Shanghai as a destination because of its new Shanghai Disney Resort, it certainly played a role. You would think that two Disney fans would …
