Newlyweds on an adventure to explore the world above and underwater
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 - [...]
G’Day Mates, As you might already know, Patrick and I have made it to the only country in the world that measures its distances in road kill roos, or really the only country with kangaroos both dead and alive - Australia! Coming to Australia, we were really excited to be in an English speaking country [...]
Ia Orana, You may have noticed that this post has taken a little longer than usual to get up on the blog - part of that again, is the internet (or lack there of), but a more burdensome and truthful part of it is that I have found myself having difficulties writing about Fakarava and [...]
Bonjour! Or as Patrick likes to say: ‘Bonjourno!’ … to French people. You’ve probably noticed that we’ve been a little absent lately - a part of that is the slow internet connection on our second island destination, but the primary cause for our absence is that we have spent the last week almost entirely underwater!
