The night before my flight to Penang, I went online to check into my flight. I was met with an error screen, informing me that I could not check in because I didn’t have sufficient months left on my passport. I had five months until my passport expired – you need six. But I had already … More megan nearly moves to malaysia
When I decided to move this little bod over to Thailand, I never thought I’d end up living anywhere but Chiang Mai. Small, but still exciting…misty mountains and waterfalls a short motorbike ride away…apparently the cute cafe capital of Thailand – it just seemed to tick more of my boxes than Bangkok could. But, as you’ll … More chiang dao town
Recently, I was asked to be a guest on a Thai travel show called Sofar So Good. Sofar So Good focuses on showcasing some of that elusive unseen Thailand. Oh, and they let one of us farang tag along too, likely for a bit of comedic effect (not saying I’m funny – just sure that Thais … More so far, so good
While driving across Lombok to Senaru, our starting point for our three-day Mt. Rinjani trek, I caught a glimpse of a sign displaying the Indonesian island’s official motto. “Tatas, Tuhu, Trasna” – “wise, tenacious and noble of soul.” I didn’t think much of it at the time, but this motto would prove to be quite … More rinjani
Is that CCR reference obvious enough? Are you singing it in your head right now? Good, because it’s stuck in mine. Every once and awhile it blends into Born on the Bayou, but none of their songs are really great to be humming and table-drumming to in a quiet co-working space. But I digress… A … More run through the jungle
Temples in Bagan. Fishermen on Inle Lake. I’m sure you’ve heard about these things by now. Mentions of the beauty and allure of Myanmar is all over – I even spotted it on Snapchat the other day. It’s one country that is still holding on to some of its mystery, and adventurous travelers are beginning to flock … More life lessons in burma
Dedicating this post to dumping some Bangkok shots that I haven’t gotten around to posting anywhere. Inspired by my recent collaboration with KLM – found HERE (and hiiii new readers!) – I’ve decided to post some of the shots on the blog to share more of what I see/do on a daily basis. We just finished one … More bangkok daze
In case you are not aware, I grew up in Arizona. My desert upbringing familiarized me with various shapes and sizes of cacti, the different textures of each of the mountain ranges that completely encircled my hometown, and, as I often bemoaned, the color brown. Every flight I took, primarily in those angst-filled preteen years, I would … More a conversation about color
As the hour that will mark a full week here in Thailand approaches, I figured it was time I sat down to write. Or, rather, to publish pieces of what I’ve already written – I’m being picky so it should still be brief. I’m overly stimulated right now – it’s nearly impossible to sit down … More discovering a home
