Myanmar in 2015

We headed to Myanmar in early 2015 for 2 weeks to explore this relatively unknown country (with little to no Western influence). The Southeast Asian country had been mostly cut off from the world for decades amid political unrest. Just before 2015, things were beginning to open up and tourists were allowed to visit – but the economy was definitely not centered...

Hola from Spain

There are so many reasons to love Spain: the varied and vibrant culture, the food!, the wine, the weather… We’ve been lucky to visit Spain several times and we can’t pick a favorite region if we tried. The whitewashed buildings of Andalusia, warm in the January sun; the gambas al ajillo at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in central Madrid, the beauty...

Turkey: A Land Like No Other

We visited Istanbul and Cappadocia in 2012 and can’t wait to return to this beautiful, breathtaking land. It is steeped in history but today’s culture is a magnet to people of all ages and from all backgrounds. We can’t wait to go back and visit the coast!

Sunny Weather in Aruba

We took a short trip to Aruba a few years back and enjoyed lounging by bright blue waters. It’s known as “One Happy Island” and we were very happy sitting on its shores.

Costa Rica: An Adventurer’s Paradise

We took a trip to Costa Rica and explored many areas of the beautiful and diverse country. Costa Rica is easy to get to from the US and has a little something for everyone: luxe hotels, zip-lining and adventuring, hiking through the jungles… sloth tours! Even a volcano to explore. It’s one of the most popular destinations in Central America and...

Honeymooning in Bali

Before going to the Maldives, we spent the first part of our honeymoon in Bali, Indonesia. We split time between Seminyak near the coast and in the hills of Ubud. We stayed in a private villa (with a private pool) at the W Hotel in Seminyak and enjoyed the local towns as well as the beach and pools at the resort. We visited the nearby Tanah Lot and Taman Ayun temples...

North to South in Vietnam

Vietnam was the first country that we spent more than 2 weeks visiting together, so Vietnam will always hold a special place in our hearts. We spent many, many (many) hours working at cafes, but also many hours exploring the nooks and crannies of the country. We’d already visited Thailand, but instead of seeing only the tourist attractions, we were able to...
