Let me start my Cambodia recap by advising you to check out Hillary’s previous post on Cambodia, if you have not done so already. She did a great job (in my opinion) of capturing some of the more emotional and impactful information and experiences we came across there. I don’t […]

The Lighter Side of Cambodia

Once in a while you travel to a place that changes you in unimaginable ways- a place that alters your perception of the world and stays in your heart and mind forever. For me this place was Cambodia, which completely took me by surprise. As we drove through Siem Reap […]

Beauty and Heartbreak in Cambodia

  Chiang Mai Hotel Review (Thannatee Boutique Hotel): A beautiful small hotel with a nice pool area and good sized rooms. Very clean and good breakfast available, in a good location outside of the main part of Chiang Mai, but still close enough to walk. We would recommend this hotel. Favorite […]

Thailand In Review

Training With A Muay Thai Legend and More In Bangkok

If you’re someone who loves food as much as we do, I can almost guarantee you’ve tried Thai cuisine at least once in your life. In fact, Thai is one of the most popular cuisines around the world, with Pad Thai as it’s most iconic dish. Given all of this, […]

Eating Our Way Through Chiang Mai

Hillary’s post did a great job outlining much of what we thought/did in Chiang Mai, but I wanted to offer some of my perspectives as well…   The trip up there was much better than expected – the sleeper train was definitely much more pleasant than the overnight buses we […]
