The Elephant in the Room at TBEX Asia

by

A travel blogger requested on Twitter that I write something about the political situation in Thailand, rather than merely “trolling” by sharing links about the human rights situation there. And while this may not seem remotely topical by now – it’s well-known that Thailand’s human rights situation has been deteriorating steadily since the May 2014 military coup – it is relevant. It’s not elephant rights that are the elephant in the room at TBEX Asia – it’s human… [Read More]

Those Popular Blue Domes in Santorini, Greece

by

Popular Blue Domes Santorini Those blue domes in Santorini, Greece.  After renting a 4X4 the morning once arriving in Santorini that became the first mission. Luckily, I woke up at 4pm just before the sunset later that day. It costs 25 Euros to rent the 4×4 per day and I obviously denied the helmet because I wanted to feel the breeze in my silky long hair. Located in the town of Oia (pronounced EE-AH) this is the epic picture I was after before arriving in Greece. What is ironic is that I found it by chance. I was looking for … [Read More]

The last time I was in Edinburgh the year was 1998, I was 22 and had graduated from college just a week before.

I was also poor, and at the time the best I could manage was a hostel. Fast forward … [Read More]

by

Staying in shape is hard enough when you’re not traveling all over the world but there are a lot of covert exercises you can do in an airport that are challenging enough to be worthwhile. Get Your Tracking Software Ready Before getting started you want to make sure you’re able to keep track of the mini-workout ahead of you. Walking is an important exercise anywhere and most airports are large enough for a good 5 kilometer warm up. iOS users, here’s how you can enable the Health app… [Read More]

8 Getaways from Melbourne

by

I loved our time visiting Melbourne. It’s probably my favourite city in Australia, certainly the most liveable and if you spend a decent amount of time there you’ll soon see why it consistently ranks as the most liveable city in the world. Of course there’s the one obvious turn-off, you know, the crappy climate where it’s common to live through four … [Read More]

Well, this pretty much perfectly sums up our experience being in Warsaw, Poland having authentic Polish Perogies (Pierogi) for the first time. So far we’ve sampled the meat and cheese ones with plans to try the dessert… [Read More]

Charities We Support

by

One thing I love about the growth of our business is that we have more space in our life to support charities we care about. I hate saying that it’s only a reality for us now, but when you’re facing your own money struggles it’s hard to think about supporting charities financially, even though you really should. It’s one of the best ways you can tap into that stream of abundance, as you are operating from a giving place. But, as I said, I know it’s hard. So if you are in … [Read More]

If you have trouble viewing this video click here:  http://youtu.be/K2aK9zd8Vas So far in Poland we’ve been enjoying hearty meals typically rich in portions of meat and potatoes. Continuing with this theme we tried Bigos, after a recommendation from a Polish born man now living in the US, which is known as Hunter’s Stew consisting of fermented cabbage, sauerkraut (known locally as kapusta kiszona), Polish sausage (kielbasa) and various other kinds of vegetables and meats. Upon first glance it is not the … [Read More]

I love it when you stumble upon completely out of the ordinary things. Travel is just as much about the unexpected surprises as it is the bucket list items. We had one of those moments driving through the Karri forest of Pemberton in Western Australia, 3.5 hours south of Perth and 2.5 hours south-west of Margaret River. We were sitting in … [Read More]

VIDEO: Hiking Ceahl?u Massif #PriNeamt

by

If you have trouble viewing this video click here:  http://youtu.be/uSkdngr__vI Easily the highlight of our time in Romania was having the privilege of hiking up the Carpathians (Ceahl?u Massif Mountain) in Neamt County. Unfortunately, due to a persistent neck injury I was forced to linger behind while Audrey joined the rest of the blogging crew to ascend up the mountain. This challenging (yet rewarding) hike is well documented by Audrey as she huffs out of breath frequently during her speaking clips. Fortunately for all of us she takes ample time to capture all of the rugged… [Read More]
