Day 95: Penang Street Art

The aging city of Georgetown on the Malaysian island, Penang is a melting pot of people, cultures and traditions from all throughout Southeast Asia. Years of grit and dust cover the faded and cracked walls of buildings in the historic district. Layers of paint, plaster, city grit and artwork fade and blend together into a […]

Around the World in 180 Days

A few months ago we returned to the United states after spending more than 6 months traveling through Europe and Asia. During that time we boarded 22 flights, took over 10,000 pictures, endured 20 long-distance bus rides, rode 1 elephant and haggled with too many tuk-tuks to count through 16 countries on our full circle […]

Three Months in Asia

I feel like I was writing about our second month just yesterday and here we are at the close of our third and final month in Asia. Looking back I can’t believe how much we’ve changed over the last three months here. It took us a while to get over the culture shock at first. […]

Playing With Elephants

It was midday when we arrived at the elephant camp an hour north of Chiang Mai. Our guide for the day named “Off” gave us some background on the camp and its mission, which is to adopt and care for elephants that have been abused or overworked in logging camps. Each elephant has a dedicated […]

Two Months in Asia

With the end of 2013 and beginning of 2014 I often find myself reflecting on just how fast it’s all gone by. That couldn’t be more true for how I feel about our time in Asia now that we’ve spent over two months on the continent. Our second month has shown us a Southeast Asia that’s rougher […]

Bicycling in Bali

Traveling through Southeast Asia, Andrew and I have discovered the staggering number of tours and excursions that are offered. Unlike in Europe, it’s extremely difficult to see the best sights by ourselves due to lack of public transportation, and a guide can often be necessary. In Bali especially, there are literally hundreds of tours to […]

Loi Krathong in Chiang Mai

A little over a week ago Bethany and I hopped off a plane in the city of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand just in time for the festivities of the annual Loi Krathong celebration. Loi Krathong translates to “floating crown/decoration” and is commonly recognized as the lantern festival where paper lanterns lit by candles are […]

The View Today: Pygros Santorini

On our last day in Santorini we visited the hilltop village of Pygros. The village is a maze of pedestrian roads and steps set around an ancient venetian castle at the top of a hill 300m above sea level. There are only a few tavernas and a couple small shops. With only about 500 year-round residents, […]

Wandering Thoughts

This year, Andrew and I made the biggest decision of our lives. We both chose to leave our corporate jobs, leave our apartment of 2 1/2 years in Manhattan, leave behind the security of full-time salaries, health insurance, familiar routines. I think the decision to consciously forgo the comfort that comes with simply, knowing–knowing there […]
