From the nomadic steppes of Kazakhstan to the frenetic streets of Hanoi, Asia is a continent so full of intrigue, adventure, solace, and spirituality that it has fixated and confounded travelers for centuries.
True bucketlisters will have found this post because the Andaman Islands are high on your list, but you’re slightly confused about the best way to see them. I definitely was. Which is why I ended up booking this 6 day Andaman Islands Tour. It was the best move I could have made not knowing exactly where to go, or the tiny fact that I wouldn’t have service...
Myanmar is like a goldmine for photographers. With it’s countless pagodas, stupas, and temples, accented by the always passing red-robed monks. There’s so much to see though, and if you only have a limited amount of time, you need to do it correctly! For me, I only had an extra week in between trips, so I decided to look on TourRadar to see if any of...
There’s definitely an ongoing debate about what the best Thailand islands are for solo travelers (and travelers in general!). Not going to lie, when I first went to the southern Thailand islands four years ago, they were a lot different than they are now in 2019! For example, many of the Thailand islands tours have evolved to using speedboats that take more...
You see so many incredible sights while traveling, but there’s something especially breathtaking about seeing or experiencing natural phenomenons. Don’t get us wrong, there’s no denying how amazing man-made sights like the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China and the Pyramids of Giza are. Because they are incredible sights that everybody needs to experience. But...
Between Botswana ending its five-year ban on elephant hunting and giraffes being considered for the endangered species list, there’s good reason to be concerned about wildlife conservation in the face of climate change, poaching and overpopulation. Yet there are conservation success stories to tout, too – and eco-conscious wildlife tourism certainly plays a part...
Taipei is an amazing city that reminds me of a mini-version of Tokyo, but I knew there was much more to see in Taiwan than its capital city. I also knew that since it’s an island, there had to be some nature to see instead of just buildings! So I did some research, and found a private tour that would take me up to the Northern Coast of Taiwan where there’s tons of...
Taipei had been on my “To-Go List” for a really long time, and I’m so glad I finally went! I’d heard nothing but great things from people, between the amazing food at the night markets, to the unique cultural towns on the outskirts! I only had a couple of days in Taipei because I was squeezing it in before heading back to the US from the Philippines (slight detour)...
Finding the cheapest healthcare isn’t easy. In fact, the cost of healthcare is increasing in many countries, and especially in the US, so finding free healthcare countries or even universal health care countries is a hard. Enter two magical words: travel and tourism. Well, I guess we can also throw in “expat”, and “digital nomad” now as...
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and you know what that means. The whole world seems to start exclusively talking about love, romance and relationships! It also often means that the travel world starts promoting adventure escapes for couples or a getaway for two at a romantic destination like Paris, aka, the City of Love. But let’s be honest, just because...
There’s a good chance that if you’re reading this, it’s because visiting cruelty-free, no-ride, ethical elephant sanctuaries in Chiang Mai is on your bucketlist! …as it should be! Chiang Mai used to be notorious for elephant riding as well as for the infamous Tiger Temple that got shut down a few years ago for drugging tigers so tourists could pet them. Luckily now...
