We were in Chiang Rai for less than five hours before we decided that we had to extend our planned stay here. We had originally only planned to be here for three nights, but after a quick walk through the night bazaar, a dinner in a lively street market and the cheapest patio beers we’ve …
I was planning on making soup in Cartagena, but since it was a million degrees when we got there, I pulled an audible. We didn’t have any spices or ingredients in our Airbnb, so I wanted something with few ingredients. Since it was so hot and only our bedroom had AC, I wanted something that …
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 …
We are officially on the Southeast Asia (SEA) backpacker trail, having taken our first overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Right now, we’re basking in the glory of cheap travel, amazing food (loved the Pad Thai in Bangkok), and no schedule. Guys – we don’t even have a place to stay five days from …

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 …
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 …
