Why I Travel Hack
I’m not rich, and likely never will be. Until a few years ago, my standard travel accommodation was a hostel dorm room and that was ok with me. I didn’t know any better. Flying business class was just a dream, let alone first class. Then, as I was browsing the internet, I stumbled upon travel […]
Jack’s Cat Cafe: An Animal Lover’s Paradise
As you probably know by now, Anthony and I love Hoi An. It’s our favorite place in Vietnam, and even on our third visit, the charm still holds up. Hoi An may be small, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in activities. Whether you like the beach, shopping, food, history, culture…Hoi […]
Two Days In Kuala Lumpur
After Singapore it was time to move on to Malaysia. We spent about two weeks exploring the country with our first city being the capital of Kuala Lumpur. KL is a bustling modern metropolis that we both instantly liked. It has the same bright light feel as Singapore, but with a little more of the […]

Mistake Fares : Book Now and Sort It Out Later
I’m writing this from 36,000 feet in the air, sitting in seat 3A on a Qatar Airways flight headed to Doha. Breada and I just wrapped up three weeks in South Africa, a country we’ve wanted to visit for years but has always been a little out of reach. We’re flying business class, which is […]

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 […]
Lounge Review : Bidvest Premier Lounge, Lanseria International Airport, Johannesburg
I love having a quiet place to go when waiting for a flight. There’s nothing worse than having to sit for a couple of hours at a crowded gate and being forced to pay for overpriced airport food. I refuse to do it, and I suggest you all should too!
Saigon : Revisited
Vietnam was the third country Breada and I visited in 2016, right at the beginning of our epic 14 month trip abroad. I can still remember our bus ride from Phnom Penh. I was so excited, as always when going somewhere new. By this point I had traveled to 13 countries in my life and […]
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 […]
Booking the Trip of a Lifetime – Part Two
If you read my first post, you’ll know we have quite the trip ahead. It took a lot of saving, planning, and research, but in the end it was worth the time and effort. So how did we do it?
