We came back and forth into Argentina three times (flying from South Africa, our trip to Uruguay and after our time in Chile) and all total spent about three weeks in the country. Argentina is massive and unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to get down south to Patagonia, but we did explore some magnificent […]
Six Month RTW Travelversary
I can hardly believe that we’ve been on the road for six months! It seems like just yesterday that we left the States and arrived in New Zealand, yet at the same time, New Zealand seems like a lifetime ago. I’m not sure that words can describe how truly lucky and blessed I feel that […]
South Africa: In a Nutshell
Love South Africa. We had such a great time in the country, in large part thanks to spending lots of time hanging out with locals. Always more fun and kinda makes it seem like you live there, as opposed to just quickly passing through. Our time was broken up between Cape Town, Hluhluwe (Photo Safari) […]
Mother City Love: 8 days in Cape Town
There aren’t many places that you can say, “We got robbed four times in eight days and I had a helluva week! And I can’t wait to go back!” But that’s exactly how I feel about Cape Town, South Africa. I love, love, LOVED it! We got extremely lucky with intros from friends Jeremie Brilliant […]
Tanzania: In a Nutshell
Tanzania is rad! The people are friendly, the food is excellent and the scenery is magnificent! We spent the first part of our time in the Serengeti and the second half chilling on the beach and enjoying the beautiful white sand and blue waters of Zanzibar. Things of note: If you are an American […]
India: In a Nutshell
Traveling to India is interesting. I’m not sure if I’d say that this is my favorite country, but I am extremely glad I spent time exploring India. Our friend Luke, who we met on our Ha Long Bay trip came to join and travel with us around India for the month. We were a bit scattered when […]
Thailand: In a Nutshell
Just writing this post makes me miss Thailand. Thailand may now be my favorite country. Ever. I love the food, the people, the diving, the culture and they have, hands down, some of the prettiest beaches in the world! We spent around a month in Thailand and it wasn’t nearly enough time. I can’t wait […]
Laos: In a Nutshell
Laos is such a beautiful country with warm, friendly people all around. And cheap! I think my diet in Laos consisted of three things: baguette sandwiches, chocolate/peanut butter/banana pancakes and Beer Lao. Healthy, right?! We were only able to spend seven nights in Laos, so our time was limited to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang. […]
Vietnam: In a Nutshell
As we sit on the plane flying to Vientiane, Laos (country #6!!), I am reflecting back on our time in Vietnam (I find planes the best place to reflect, perhaps because there are no distractions and I’m forced to be with my own thoughts for the flight duration). I had an amazing time in Vietnam, […]
Bali: In a Nutshell
Bali was beautiful. Not in your stereotypical bright, white sandy beaches kind of way, but beautiful in a rice fields, temples, my first time in Southeast Asia kind of way. I preferred Ubud and the Gili Islands over the Seminyak/Kuta beaches, mainly because the latter are sooo congested and the others are truly places you […]
