Getting to Bako National Park After a few nights in cushy Kuching, it was time for a trial separation with air conditioning and experience part of the real motivator for coming to Borneo at our first national park. Borneo has a whopping 35 national parks within its boundaries so you will not be challenged to find one wherever you go.…
Wheels Up to Borneo After an incredibly fast week in Singapore’s PugTown, our fast travel month resumed whether we were ready or not. (We weren't.) So after making sure our clients had been fed, walked and farted one last time, we locked up the house and jumped on the 36 Bus to everybody’s favorite airport en route to a wild…
With its warm hearts, amazing food, and stunning nature, Vietnam quickly won our hearts from the moment we landed in Phu Quoc until the time we left Hanoi. However, it was an experiment because this is the first time we’ve ever stayed in a country for the maximum visa stay without ever having been there. And while we absolutely loved…

The high value accommodation selection certainly did. For the week, we chose to stay on Cam…
Settling into Da Nang We firmly parked ourselves a block from the beach for a couple weeks in the seaside gem of Da Nang, where we could have definitely stayed longer. It felt like an undeniable blend of Rio de Janiero, Miami and Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It’s a super comfortable place to slow down and just be for awhile thanks…
Arriving to Hue & Our Accommodation After a very pleasant journey on the vintage railway, we arrived to the historic Hue train station at around 5 pm and caught a $2.40 Grab ride from the station to our apartment which bizarrely feels like it is dropped in France.
