Well, here we are again in Koh Samui, Thailand. We’ve been here since June 1st and we couldn’t be happier about our decision. This blog post isn’t going to be so much about what we’ve been doing but more about how we got here and why/how we decided to come back to this little island…

Remember That One Time When We Went To Colombia? Part 1: Cartagena
It’s official. I’m the worst blogger of all time. But in all fairness, it’s only because I’ve been devoting most of my time to working (which is writing) so we can save as much money as possible before our next big ‘thing’. Anyway, after a long day of writing, I generally just want to step…
Where The Hell Have We Been?! Literally & Figuratively
WOW. Hi!!! We’re alive! I’ve been neglecting this blog so hard and I’m so sorry! Life sort of took us for a whirlwind lately and we’ve just been reveling in it for the most part. Apologies for the ridiculously long delay in blog post. So…where do I even begin?! Where We’ve Been Since Last Time…
Koh Samui (Again): Our Mini Waterfall Tour
So — we’re back in Koh Samui, Thailand. Why? Because it’s perfection, that’s why. Honestly — out of everywhere we’ve been so far on this adventure — this is our favorite spot. We fell in love with it last June/July and we knew we wanted to come back. So we did. There are so many reasons why we…
That Time We Went To A Vietnamese Wedding
We spent (another) two weeks in Hoi An, Vietnam — rang in the New Year and went back to visit our awesome Airbnb hosts (Mike and Hanh) from our previous visit. But honestly? We didn’t do much in those two weeks because the weather was…well…shit. But we did do one thing — went to a very awesome,…
R.O.A.D. Was Nominated For the Versatile Blogger Award!
There is something about being in the travel blogging community that is so fulfilling. We’ve met quite a few incredible and like-minded people during this process and it’s always so inspiring to hear other people’s stories, struggles, and moments of growth while traveling. Another wonderful part about being in this community are the blogger-to-blogger awards….
Chiang Mai, Thailand: Back to the Familiar in the Infamiliar
Ahhh yes – we’re back in Thailand. Although we’d never been to Chiang Mai before – we always love coming back to Thailand. There’s something about this place that just feels good. It feels “easier” in a sense – and it feels really normal, as weird as that sounds. Regardless – we made it to…
Mountains Made of Marble & Resorts to Ourselves – Our Last Week in Hoi An
Fair warning: this post is going to have a lot of pictures. We couldn’t help ourselves. One of our last sightseeing spots was way too photogenic not to take a million pics. So – there. You’ve been warned. We just wrapped up our last week in Hoi An – such a bittersweet moment. We’re always…
Huế, Vietnam: It’s Huế Cool
A visit to Central Vietnam isn’t complete without a trip to Huế- pronounced “hway.” Hence the title – get it? (total dork alert) The city of Huế is about 78 miles north of Hoi An and completely worth the day trip. Our new friend Jerry, who was staying at our Airbnb, invited us to join him – we…
Hoi An, Vietnam: Food, Generosity, Karaoke & More Food
Layovers and Customs – FUN! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – travel days suck. They just do. They’re my least favorite part about gallivanting around the world. Getting from the Philippines to Vietnam was one of those sucky travel days. We flew from Tagbilaran to Manila (7 hour layover in Manila)…
Bohol, Philippines: So Much Beauty On One Island
Our time in Panglao was spent exploring that tiny island and venturing up to the bigger island of Bohol which is over a bridge about 7 miles from where we were staying. Road Trip with a Local Food Pit Stop My friend and co-worker Farrah, who is from Bohol, has a lot of connections around Panglao…
Panglao, Philippines: A Big Party on a Tiny Island
We left Boracay on such a high – but also – the travel day was a bit rough. My birthday was the day before our departure so even though we said we’d “take it easy” that day…it didn’t happen. So waking up at 5am to take a boat to the main island, then a tricycle…
