Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you…do human beings ever realize life while they live it? – Thorton Wilder – amazing home in Chiang Mai – Is there a better Thai meal than khao soy and Thai tea? I SAY NAY! – staying in a treehouse at Viva Chiang Mai – – … More moonrise kingdom
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
My first few months in Bangkok were a little rough. I have started to write about it roughly eight times…but it has yet to come out in a way that doesn’t make me sound like a whiny baby. Essentially, I had just been encountering that old adage – “when it rains it pours;” experiencing a pretty … More escape to the green lung
In case you needed more. NERD!
A few weekends ago, my British lad Adrian and I ventured northwest to Kanchanaburi for a city break. The area is most well-known for the infamous Burma Railway, commonly referred to as the Death Railway. We decided that we wanted our trip to include a peek into that dark history, as well as a visit to some … More seven layer waterfalls & motorbikes in the rain
When planning my move, my fitness and nutrition regimen was one of my main concerns. While I enjoy the benefits and routine of eating well and working out, I’m not one to just NOT eat delicious new treats whilst traveling – I actually go so far the opposite way. And my workouts fall to the wayside … More outdoor gyms and my sugar addiction

As soon as I read about the “monkey temple” in Lopburi, the next town north of Ayutthaya, I knew we had to go. After a simple breakfast at our hostel in Ayutthaya, we took the crowded commuter train to Lopburi, with intent to see a few more ruins and temples. By the time we made … More lopburi
A couple weeks ago, Kaitie and I decided to get out of Bangkok for a few days. We picked the old capital, Ayutthaya, full history and old ruins. A major city for foreign traders, it was described as one of the biggest and wealthiest cities in the East during the sixteenth century. UNESCO currently lists … More ayutthaya
A little photographic insight into my Bangkok life. Scott and I recorded music one night. No photographic evidence of my instrument: the melodica, a keyboard you have to blow into a tube to play… Mojitos on a rooftop at an art show in the “cool, hipster” district John boy. HUGE sugared donuts for 10 baht. … More snapshots
Since arriving in Bangkok, I’ve been shooting primarily with my film camera and my iPhone. My DSLR is just so heavy with all the walking and motorbiking we do. The first time I took my DSLR out with me was during a midday work break to Chatuchak park. I wanted to try riding the BTS … More city breaks
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
