I never considered myself an animal person. Other than birds, which I love, I’ve never really cared too much about animals. Or so I thought. Then we started traveling the world. The more we traveled, the more animals I met, the more I started loving them. I met exotic animals that I’d only ever seen …
Other than the ridiculous airline-issued pajamas I’m wearing, I’ve never felt more legit in my life. Right now, I’m cruising at 34,000 feet, above some country that doesn’t allow me to use my free inflight wifi (India, I think?), sipping on Krug Champagne, marathoning the Batman trilogy (the Christopher Nolan version), with my feet propped …
The Great Wall of China is essential on any trip to Beijing and probably any trip to China. Visiting the Great Wall can be complicated. There are so many sections of the wall, tour providers and ancillary attractions to consider that it can make your head spin. The options and the cost can add up …
We love a good business class rewards redemption, but we love it even more when we get to try out a newly revamped business class product. We were super excited to try out the refreshed Japan Airlines Business Class Sky Suite on a Boeing 767 from Beijing to Tokyo. After a round of economy flights …
I didn’t think I ever really cared about monkeys that much until I came to Thailand. I’ve had more hands-on experiences with monkeys during a month in Thailand than I ever thought I’d have in my entire life. These charismatic and energetic little cuties have completely stolen my heart and cracked my top three favorite …
Back in 1383, the temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep was built on the top of Doi Suthep Mountain just outside of modern day Chiang Mai. Monks had to hike up Doi Suthep to get to the temple, and Wat Pha Lat was later built as a resting place for those Monks. Today, you can still …
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 …
I LOVED Seoul. It was definitely one of the cities I was least excited about, but enjoyed the absolute most. Seoul is definitely my favorite city we’ve been to on this trip, and is in the running for my favorite city in the world. This city is alive to the fullest extent of the word. There …
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 …
