As our allotted sixty days ended, our time in Indonesia came to a close which feels incredibly bittersweet. This is a country we easily fell head over heels with for multiple reasons. And, because of its vastness and the fact we only visited 5 of 17,000 islands, we still have a few more to get to on our return. We…
We spent three weeks on the Malaysian side of Borneo, the third biggest island on earth, traveling from west to east, and also made a stop in the tiny Islamic sultanate of Brunei. Our experience was mostly very positive and we’d highly recommend a trip here most notably for the diverse and unbelievable array of wildlife, but also with some…
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 island nation of Singapore is a world class melting pot of cultures, religions and activity. For our first visit, we covered a lot of ground, but of course, only scratched the surface of all the things to do and see here. We acknowledge our summary is a bit limited because of this narrow time window. But, thanks to a…

Although Taiwan very much has its own identity and story, the island was our first gentle taste of Chinese language and culture. Unfortunately, because of the rain and our limited time, we didn’t have the…
It’s a wrap! Although we’re not usually big city people, we truly believe Tokyo…the biggest metropolis on the planet of 37 million…should be on every traveler’s list. This fascinating, futuristic and other world is a thrill for the senses and the mind in every way possible, with an abundance of new and edgy experiences you cannot get anywhere else. And,…
When we visited Patagonia and the capital in 2016, we liked it a lot and recognized its potential. But, after a month in Buenos Aires and a month the northwest part of the country, Argentina has launched itself up our top ten countries list due to its breadth of beautiful terrain, pleasant weather, incredible people, off the charts wine, ease…
Bolivia may be one of the poorest nations in Latin America, but it is packed with natural beauty, once-in-a-lifetime experiences and a rich indigenous history that keeps many traditions alive today making it a must-see South American destination. That said, during our allotted thirty days in this landlocked nation equivalent to three times the size of Montana, we really only scratched…
