I do enjoy the home stretch (both going home and stretching) Sure, I love adventures. I like to try exciting and new things. If there’s a wacky food to try, I’ll take one. I am an explorer of new places and a social butterfly, meeting new people. If we want to go somewhere and aren’t Read More
Category: Destinations
Destinations around the world that we had an experience we thought worth of sharing with the rest of the world. We love to eat great food, drink great beer and try new things. We love the outdoors…hiking, biking, kayaking, trail running and sports. We hope to experience as much as possible in as many places as we can. Your world our way!
Jamie’s quarantine life
When I told you about my solo trip to China, I mentioned we researched other people’s experiences. We listened to their stories and watched their videos. We joined group chats of people involved in various stages of immigration: some were preparing like me, some were just landing in Shanghai. Others just started quarantine life while Read More
Journey back to the land where WE smile, China
It took us some time to figure out where we are the happiest but we’ve finally made the decision! It is finally time to end the longest vacation ever, the one that started with Operation W.I.E.R.D, parts 1 and 2. Thailand is called the Land of Smiles and it’s a lot of fun to come Read More
Finding ways to RLAX at home
Where should we go today? Our house is located very close to a bustling but small downtown area. On a single street, we can find fresh fruits and vegetables, The Best fresh smoothies, a 7/11 and amazing affordable street meats. We also know a very good place to get some massages when we need to Read More
Pool time at the Coco…Coco Kalaaaaaaaaa
Water we waiting for? In the beginning of September we found ourselves with a four-day weekend from school. This mini-break took the place of a holiday traditionally held in April, the Songkran Festival. (Original Songkran, also known as the water festival, was postponed due to Covid. Check out this list of things to do during Read More
Eating our way around the world
We’re not vegan but we can pretend. We love food. Have I ever told you that? Part of the reason we like to travel is the opportunity we have to sample cuisines from everywhere. We are eating our way around the world! Yes, we ate Japanese while on vacation in Bangkok and sure, you can Read More
Operation W.E.I.R.D., part 2
What to do? What to do? We had planned three days on Phu Quoc with no real agenda other than quality time together and relaxation. After one full day of eating, drinking and lounging, we thought we’d day trip somewhere and take a tour. Of course, we checked in with the lady at the front Read More
Operation W.E.I.R.D., part 1
Good morning, Vietnam The first stop on this wild vacation – let’s just call it “Operation W.E.I.R.D. Winter Extravaganza Insanity Repeating Daily” – was Vietnam. We flew to Phu Quoc, an island just off Cambodia’s coast in the Gulf of Thailand. To kick off the first half of our winter break we wanted to shed the Read More
What floats my dragon boat
FINALLY. Finally, finally, the Dragon Boat Festival came and went. I’ve legitimately been waiting for this since we decided we were moving to China. Even though I have a healthy respect for water, being on it is one of my favorite places in the world, regardless of where in the world I am. The size Read More
Tattoos in Thailand
Rather than buy a lot of souvenirs when we travel, we like to collect a type of memory that we can still take everywhere we go but won’t take up room or make us want to sell it…so we get a tattoo! We easily decided we should get tattoos in Thailand If you’ve read about Read More
