Newlyweds on an adventure to explore the world above and underwater
Patrick once again picked up my slack, and wrote this awesome blog post on Borneo! Check it out: Alright, be honest - you have no idea where Borneo is, do you? It’s okay, no one seems to know. It’s just the place where Anthony Bourdain goes to eat cockroaches and drink blood. My North Carolina [...]

Ayubowan Folks,Back in Australia, we tried to tell someone that traveling was more stressful than daily life. We argued that always having to plan your way forward and never being comfortable out-weighed the stress of the 'real world.' He nearly doubled over from laughing at us, and told us we were totally out of touch [...]
Ni hao, Or more appropriately “hello” as Singapore has a whopping four national languages, English included. This made for a very stress-free (and expensive) time in the cleanest city/island/country (still confused on this identification) in the world, Singapore! I’m not really sure if Singapore is actually ranked or known as the cleanest country in the [...]
Greetings from perhaps the most pretentious country one can visit: the Maldives - the land of picture perfect islands, celebrity escapes, luxury resorts, and two Americans trying to dive on the cheap. Fighting our way through the crowd of trust fund babies and Jimmy Choo stilettos, we picked up the only non-Gucci luggage off the [...]
Choum Reap Sor Friends, Stepping out on to the tarmac in Siem Reap, Sam and I simply looked up at the sun and enjoyed the heat. It had been 15 rain-soaked days in Vietnam since we last saw the sun, and Cambodia promised to bring lots of sunshine. After all, this was the land of… the land of… well, [...]
Sinchow (or as Patrick likes to embarrassingly say, ‘Kung Pow’), Despite the title of this post, we didn’t actually visit Ho Chi Minh City, but I couldn’t resist a good pun for spending Christmas in Vietnam. But more about that later. Let’s take it from the top! After two weeks of sunshine in Thailand, we [...]
Sawasdee Ka and Happy New Year! They say nothing can prepare you for Bangkok, but what those naysayers don’t have by their side is a (practically) fluent Thai speaking, itinerary binding, third-wheeling, survival ninja - I’m talking to you, Matt! For our eighth country, we decided five months was enough of a honeymoon, so we invited [...]
Namaste Folks, Before delving in to telling you all about Nepal and everything it has to offer, I need to get something off my chest: Nepal kicked our asses, like full blown kung fu roundhouse kick straight to the butt. We've been traveling over three months, and luckily have had few things go wrong - [...]
Welcome back ladies and gents. My lovely wife has relinquished the writing duties for our latest destination to me, Patrick. So strap in - this blog will be crammed full of spelling mistakes, bad puns, and lots of overly detailed descriptions about everything underwater. Bali, Indonesia: If I had to pick one picture to describe this [...]
