Believe it or not, this was our first jaunt Down Under and we knew in this expensive country that we had to be strategic about stretching the budget. Part of that strategy took us a bit out of our comfort zone and definitely forced us to be way more flexible and last minute than we usually prefer. Did we get…
Time to wrap up our third jaunt to Thailand, this time in new territory…the north…a very different side from its southern islands and beaches, as well as mega city of Bangkok. There are many reasons we, and many other people, continue to flock to this country repeatedly. Below is our personal list of highlights and statistics, as well as upsides and…
Mountainous Laos is an underrated sleeper hit in our books. We simply had no idea how spellbound we’d become by its lush raw natural beauty, its friendly people and its serenity during our four weeks in the northern part of the country.

We’ve been waiting four years for our first official health assessments since we first learned about them. And I don’t mean checking five things in your blood, standing on a scale, and…
