Booking the Trip of a Lifetime – Part Three
So if you read Part Two, you’ll know we used a mix of sign up bonuses from credit cards and some good old fashioned hustle to build up enough points for this trip, and you can too! It takes a little bit of time and effort, but anybody with good credit can use these tools […]
Two Days In Singapore
We’re moving pretty fast this trip. During our last jaunt around Southeast Asia, our time frame didn’t have a solid expiration date. This gave us the luxury of staying places for more days than most, and allowed us to have a fairly flexible itinerary. This time, however, we only have three months. This means our […]
Flight Review : Swiss Airlines CS100 Business Class Budapest to Zurich
This was the first of two flights on the day, and honestly the one I was least looking forward to. I was just personally looking forward to our long haul flight back to Boston a little more. It’s also a short-haul flight and European carriers are known to use a EuroBusiness model, which is a […]
Traveling For One Year: Easier or Harder Than Expected?
The first two things Anthony and I ever bonded over was our love of fried cherry peppers in calamari, and our passion for travel. Over the course of our relationship we’ve been lucky enough to have many experiences with both travel and calamari, but I’d say this trip easily wins out as the best experience […]
A Year of Travels : A Reflection
Today marks exactly one year since Breada and I set off on our big adventure around the world. Sometimes I think back and it feels like we left yesterday and other times it feels like we’ve been away for years.
Food Poisoning 101
One of the negative things about traveling in underdeveloped countries is the looming possibility of food poisoning. Before Anthony and I left on this trip we both knew it wouldn’t be a matter of “if” but rather a matter of “when”, and so far I’ve been lucky enough to get hit with it twice. The […]
Settling Down in Hoi An
Xin Chao fellow trekkers and Chúc Mừng Năm Mới! Today is the Vietnamese New Year’s Day and the start of the week-long celebrations and pilgrimages many locals take to their hometowns to visit family. It’s the biggest holiday of the year in Vietnam and we’re excited to be here to witness it firsthand.
What We’ve Been Up To Lately (December)
We had our first visitors last month! My sister Brittany and her fiance Chad decided to take the plunge and hop on a 16 hour flight to visit us in Thailand! It was their first time to Asia and they only had a week so we were really cranking it the entire time, but it […]
Our Cathay Pacific “Tour de Lounge” – Part Two
Sorry for the long delay in between Parts 1 and 2 of our “Tour de Lounge”! We’ve been pretty busy, between spending time with my sister Brittany and her fiance Chad to hanging out in the mountains of Northern Thailand, and finally settling down into our new jobs in Hoi An, Vietnam. Now that we’re […]
The Many Foods of Taiwan – Part Three
Part One and Part Two are in the books and Part Three will be the last one of this series, but not for lack of content. I can’t stress just how much we enjoyed the food scene during our two months in Taiwan. Our only issue was there was just too much food to try! […]
Top Things to do in Wanhua District, Taipei
Wanhua District has been our home for the last three weeks so we thought it would be a good idea to give our readers an idea of what it’s like. Wanhua District, originally called “Monka” or “Bangka”, is Taipei’s oldest district. It can be divided up into three sections : northern, central, and southern. Northern […]
Working in a Hostel in Taipei, Settling Down, and our Next Adventures
Hello fellow Trekkers! Things have been a little slow on the writing front lately, mostly because we’ve been settling into a routine at our latest Workaway. Still, I thought it would be good to give a little recap on what we’ve been up to lately.
