Hey, everyone! I’ve spent the last ten nights on Koh Lipe, a tiny little island down in southern Thailand. The main goal was to spend as much time as I could underwater and I certainly achieved that goal. It was quite a trek to make it down here but I’m glad I made it in… Read More Christmas on Koh Lipe
Hey, everyone! I just wrapped up my time in Khao Yai National Park which ended up being… pretty spectacular. Lots of special wildlife encounters – gibbons, elephants, squirrels, weird lizards, and more! I love wildlife, and due to the variety in Khao Yai, the trip was definitely a success. A few housekeeping things: 1) If… Read More Khao Yai National Park
Hey, everyone! I have successfully made it to my final country in Asia – Thailand. My time in Chiang Rai had one action-packed day, but otherwise was pretty chill. It has been a good entry into the country, dipping my toes in the waters and seeing what it’s all about. I’m enjoying it so far!… Read More Sawasdee khrap, Chiang Rai: Intro to Thailand
Hey, everyone! I have spent the last week along the Mekong River. Most of that time was spent in Luang Prabang, but for two days I took a “slow boat” from Luang Prabang to the Thailand border. Luang Prabang has been an interesting mix – cooler weather, tons of monks, river-side restaurants with beautiful sunsets,… Read More Luang Prabang and Final Days on the Mekong
Hi, everyone! I have spent the last five nights in Vang Vieng, northern Laos. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the vibe of the place – and especially the gorgeous karst-mountain views. I think it was a really solid decision to stay here during my birthday. A few… Read More Vang Vieng: Birthday Balloon Rides
Hey, everyone! I have been in Laos for the last week. The vibe is much chiller here and to be honest, I feel like spending more time relaxing than exploring. I was so on the go in both Vietnam and Cambodia, I think I certainly owe it to myself. I have been enjoying my days… Read More Laos: Don Det & Pakse
Hey, everyone! I have spent the last ten days in Cambodia. As the title says, it has been short… but sweet. I visited three main areas – Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Kratie. While I could have broken it up into three posts, I figured I’d give myself a break from writing during that time.… Read More A Short (but Sweet) Visit to Cambodia
Hey, everyone! I have spent the last few days in Ho Chi Minh City/Sài Gòn. I’ve spent those days relaxing, eating all the Vietnamese food I can manage, and visiting the War Fragments Museum. I can’t believe my time in Vietnam is up – it has been truly memorable. A few housekeeping things: 1) If… Read More Tạm biệt, Việt Nam: Final Days in Sài Gòn
Hey, everyone! Buckle up because this is going to be one hell of a post! I have spent the last seven nights in Cát Tiên National Park enjoying the wildlife haven that it is. It has been a really special week. I originally was only going to stay three nights but I extended it to… Read More Cát Tiên National Park: The Land of Leeches
Hey, everyone! I have spent the last few days in both Hội An & Đà Lạt. Hội An at nighttime was lovely, with lanterns reflecting along the river. And Đà Lạt, while I wasn’t expecting much, has been quite surprising – with lively night markets, alpine coasters, hot air balloons, waterfalls, and even a surprising… Read More Hội An & Đà Lạt
