South Korea & Hokkaido, Japan
South Korea & Hokkaido, Japan
Korea: South Korea was one of the last countries on our Asian bucket list that we still needed to visit. Weâd been putting it off mostly because we couldnât decide whether we wanted to visit in the summer or winter. In the summer, South Korea is known for its great hiking. In the winter, for its skiing. Dave loves to ski and skiing in Asia has been something heâs wanted to do since we got here.âŠ

A Week in Isaan - Northeastern Thailand
A Week in Isaan â Northeastern Thailand
The Northeastern part of Thailand, Isaan, is the least visited area in Thailand by tourists. In fact, only about 1% make it here. It also happens to be one of the only areas of the country that after 3 years here, we had yet to explore. Because there are so few tourists here, this is supposed to be one of the most local parts of Thailand (i.e., there are fewer people who speak English andâŠ

Best Areas to Stay While Visiting Bangkok
Best Areas to Stay While Visiting Bangkok
No trip to Thailand is complete without visiting Bangkok. While some people tend to give Bangkok the short shrift and head straight to the islands or Chiang Mai, for those who know us well, you know we think extremely highly of Bangkok and therefore recommend spending anywhere from 3-5 days in this great capital. Bangkok, like Thailand, generally is a city of contradictions. You can stay at a 5âŠ

Road Tripping Through Northern Thailand
Road Tripping Through Northern Thailand
It amazes me that even after almost three years of living in Thailand, we are still adding to an ever-growing list of places to visit and things to do. Weâve been to Northern Thailand three times, but still hadnât seen some of the bigger cities (outside of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai) and most of the National Parks in the area. We had about a week to travel before heading home for the summer andâŠ

Most Overrated Experiences in Asia
Most Overrated Experiences in Asia
While most of our travel experiences over the past three years have been nothing short of incredible (thanks in large part to meticulous research and planning), occasionally, we partake in something that for one reason or another, simply failed to live up to the expectations. Below is a (short) list of these overrated Asian experiences.

Khao Sok National Park, Thailand
Khao Sok National Park, Thailand
Khao Sok National Park is the wettest spot in Thailand and is also supposedly one of the oldest rainforests in the world. Itâs one of the few places in Thailand thatâs best to visit during the low/hot season and itâs in a very convenient location to combine with a trip to Thailandâs southern islands. The scenery is gorgeous, filled with massive karst rocks jutting out of the jungle and the water.

Koh Mak & Koh Kood, Thailand
Koh Mak & Koh Kood, Thailand
Highlights Koh Mak:
Kayaking to Koh Rayang Nok
Ao Talong beach
Highlights Koh Kood:
Klong Chao waterfall
Lunch at Laem Ao Yai pier
Sunset at Klong Chao beach
Drinks (and maybe a free dinner) at Tawan Eco Bar
After living in Thailand for two and a half years, we still somehow have an ever-growing list of islands that we want to visit. Seriously, it seems as though new ones just keep popping up!âŠ

Getting Off the Tourist Track in Bangkok, Thailand
Getting Off the Tourist Track in Bangkok, Thailand
Most people traveling through Bangkok stay for 1-3 days. Many people donât even stay that long and just skip over Bangkok all together (though we have no idea why and think this is a huge mistake!). Those that do spend a little time here tend to follow a similar itinerary (Bangkok temples, Khaosan Road, Patpong Night Market, the malls of Siam, maybe Chatuchak weekend market if theyâre visitingâŠ

Khao Lak, Thailand
Khao Lak is a large beach town on the mainland of Thailand, a couple hours north of Phuket. This was one of the areas hit hardest by the tsunami in 2004. We read that it could be compared to Patong Beach (the epicenter of Phuket) but for people who want something a little more low key but still want all of the amenities offered by the upscale resorts, Western restaurants, etc. We were on our wayâŠ

How to Save Money While Traveling
How to Save Money While Traveling
People always ask us, how do you guys have the money to travel for such long periods of time. Putting aside the fact that we saved a lot of money during our ârat raceâ days of living in the U.S., we never spend more than we make. By contrast, many of the teachers that we work with often live paycheck to paycheck, which means they often donât have the money to travel during our many holidayâŠ

Koh Lanta, Thailand - Lessons Learned on Our Second Visit
Koh Lanta, Thailand â Lessons Learned on Our Second Visit
Since weâve already been to and written about Koh Lanta once before, we figured that this time around, weâd just talk about the lessons we learned on our second visit. For a detailed description of our first trip and the stories behind some of these lessons, check out our post HERE.
The beach you choose matters. Our first time in Koh Lanta, we stayed in Phra Ae, âthe traveler areaâ according toâŠ

Biking Bangkok's Islands: Bang Krachao & Ko Kret
Biking Bangkokâs Islands: Bang Krachao & Ko Kret
As much as I love Bangkok, sometimes itâs nice to get out of the city for the day and do something active. Right in Bangkok, there are two âislands,â each of which you can spend a day biking around. These two islands are very different, though both really fun day trips. If you only have time for one, Iâd definitely choose Bang Krachao, but if you live in Bangkok or are here for an extendedâŠ

Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand
Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand
Kaeng Krachan National Park is Thailandâs largest national park. The reason itâs taken us this long to visit is because the information about the logistics for the park is pretty scarce and we werenât sure exactly how we would navigate it. But, with for a long weekend, it was a perfect trip, so we decided to give it a go.
The national park is in Petchaburi, about a two hour drive from Bangkok.âŠ

Best Western Restaurants in Bangkok, Thailand
Best Western Restaurants in Bangkok, Thailand
There are few things better than the amazing Thai food in Thailand, but whether youâre visiting for a few weeks or living here, sometimes you need a good Western meal and something that reminds you of home. One of the many reasons we love Bangkok so much is because of their great restaurant scene. You can find pretty much anything you want to satisfy any craving you have. Weâve visited a lot ofâŠ

Our First Travel Award â The Liebster Award!
We were pretty excited when we received a nomination for the Liebster Award. We werenât familiar with the award when we were nominated, so we googled it, and while itâs not a physical award, it is an honor. Essentially itâs bloggers recognizing other bloggers and letting them know they appreciate their work. And of course in the process, we share with our followers to help promote each other andâŠ
