At the beginning of our adventure, I did not think about all the different types of transportation we would encounter: planes, trains, cars, taxis, tuk-tuks, buses (sooo many buses), bicycles, ferries, and the list goes on. Guess what? It’s time for a new mode of...

After a very long travel day by boat and bus, we arrive in Bangkok at around 2:00 am. We have no trouble finding a tuk-tuk to take us to our Airbnb, and we can’t wait to get some rest. We’re only in Bangkok for a few days. We still feel pretty shaken up...

This post contains sensitive content. I’ve considered extensively what to share, what not to share and in what way I should share it. The short amount of time we spent on the island of Koh Tao has impacted the lives of many people and my only hope is that I...

Dramatic right? You are not watching a trailer for a new suspense/thriller film. It’s just Kristin and I entering and swiftly leaving our Airbnb in Tbilisi. Surprisingly, the things you see in this video are not what made us leave. Our First Airbnb Debacle We...

Hopping off our crowded minibus, we grab our 40L backpacks and start walking towards our accommodations. The city is surrounded by hills, mountains, and forests. A chill is in the air and the fall foliage is giving us a show. We miss this weather. Walking through...

First impressions have a lasting impact and can also make or break a relationship… with a country. Let’s talk about our first 45 minutes in Kutaisi, Georgia shall we? First off, we arranged to be picked up by the host of our Airbnb. Walking out of...

We knew it would happen eventually. We just didn’t know when, where or how. We board a flight from Sofia to Athens in and effort to take advantage of every last day we have left on our 90 day visa for the Schengen area. After double checking our math, if we fly...

I think it only makes sense to start off with the most unexpected portion of our stay in Sofia, and that is my visit to the emergency room. For the past few days, I have been having issues with my throat. It feels like something may be lodged in there, and at times, I...
