  • Andaman Blue – A 10-Day Trip in Southern Thailand

    , ,

    For ten days at the end of May into the beginning of June, Cream and I did some island hopping along Thailand’s stunning Andaman (west) coast, visiting some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. To cap it off, we finished with a weekend in Hat Yai, one of Thailand’s largest cities and a…

  • How Bali Compares to Other Destinations

    , ,

    I’d recommend visiting, exploring, seeing dance performances in Ubud, and checking out Uluwatu and Tanah Lot temples. A week should be plenty of time. If you want to travel for longer, I’d recommend exploring other areas in Indonesia.

  • Why I Love Siquijor, Philippines

    , , ,

    The genuine warmth and kindness that was shared with me was extraordinary. There’s no doubt in my mind that if more people received that much love, the world would be a better place.

  • Hospital-ity

    , ,

    If you hadn’t guessed based on the title yet, I ended up in the hospital over the weekend with a very bad case of food poisoning. It was probably the sickest I’ve ever been. After a 60-hour stay, plus a few days since then, I’m doing a whole lot better now. I’ll get more into…
