So – if you’ve read out account of Day 1 and Day 2 & 3 of Thakhek Loop, you know that we had an awesome time exploring the caves, riding the scooter, and swimming in the Lagoon. Even considering the poor road conditions on the few stretches of the Loop, we would wholeheartedly recommend this…
Hi friends, welcome to Wanderlust Friday! Have you ever been to a Travel Show? We had no idea about these until we saw a tweet from Rick Steves, with a behind-the-scenes vlog preview of a Travel and Adventure Show. Turns out it’s not so much for the industry people – but for us, travelers. Hanging…
This is a second installment of a 3-part series about Thakhek Loop in Laos. If you are curious about how our first Day of the Loop went down, have a look here. And stay tuned for the last part in the series explaining logistics of doing the Loop!~ The neat thing about guesthouses on the…
Welcome to Friday, friends! It’s been a fantastic week here in Washington D.C. – spring is here, plenty of sunshine, soon everything will be in bloom, and the prettiest season of all will be here. Cherry Blossoms! It’s absolutely my favorite time of year in D.C. You should come visit! March 2015 Snowstorm in Washington…
Sergey and I were sitting on the dock, enjoying a nondescript Southeast Asian beer – probably a Cambodian one, since local brands tend to be cheaper. The lakeshore guesthouse camps in Kampot, Cambodia are a backpacker mecca; travelers come down to relax, party, and swap stories. A fellow backpacker put down a Beer Lao next to…
Washington D.C. winter 2014-2015 has been brutal. It’s March 6, and we are covered in a blanket of snow. To distract myself from this nonsense, I have been doing lots of daydreaming – and maybe a little planning – for some travel adventures. And since it’s Wanderlust Friday — I get to share these daydreams…
Sabadee Pee Mai! Splash…the water – as if in slow motion – drains down my shirt. Before I know it, my face is smeared in talcum powder. Not that I expected to be spared. In fact, I had hoped I wouldn’t be. It’s just that first trickle of water was a bit jarring, that’s all….
Welcome to another installment of Wanderlust Fridays, meant to inspire more journeys and adventure all around (even if its just armchair travel). I am so excited to feature an interview with James Pham of Fly Icarus Fly – a travel blog which I stumbled upon in my quest for neat things to do in Vietnam. I…
How we spent 37 days in Vietnam, and you can too! Vietnam is deceptively large. We spent five weeks here and still could travel for five more without repeat destinations! Vietnam is very diverse — desert sand dunes give way to high altitude pine forests, urbanites from megapolises wouldn’t look twice at a tourist, while…
Happy (almost) weekend guys! We are starting a new series: Wanderlust Fridays. There is so much neat travel inspiration out there, I am constantly pinning, bookmarking, and saving to my pocket. Starting this week, we will either share a travel link roundup, run an interview with a fellow adventure seeker, feature a guest post, or…
We don’t pick favorites, but ahem…Vietnam is definitely a must destination in southeast Asia. The nature is varied and beautiful, the people are welcoming and curious, the culture is fascinating, the history is long and storied. Vietnam has something to offer whatever you are in the mood for – beach holiday, cruises, motorbike adventures, city…
