Kuala Lumpur
I spent a whirlwind three days and two nights in Kuala Lumpur. We arrived midday and I headed straight to crossfit where I got my ass kicked, and I met some really great people. After crossfit, V and I caught a taxi to the house where we were staying. We decided that we wanted to…
Langkawi
On my way to Indonesia I made two quick stops in Malaysia; the first being the Langkawi island. We rented a motorbike and went to the longest(?) and highest(?) cable car in the world and saw some amazing panorama views of Thailand and Malaysia. We stayed in a really cool guesthouse with a very nice…
Koh Lipe
Koh Lipe was the island I was most looking forward too. In the very south of thailand, many people miss it in favor of other more northern islands. Unfortunately, Koh Lipe turned out to be quite expensive, but fun nonetheless. We arrived, walked across the island (less than a mile) booked diving, and then found…
Koh Lanta
After a one day trip to Koh Phi Phi V and I decided to take a vacation from travel and spent three nights in a little bungalow by the beach. We spent the first day at the beach, and then decided to rent a motorcycle to travel around the island. Unfortunately our plans were disrupted…
Koh Phi Phi
Visiting Koh Phi Phi was the most thoughtout, spontaneous decisions. One moment we would decide to skip the island, the next we would decide to go. We vacillated for over 24 hours finally deciding and booking the ferry to Koh Phi Phi one hour for it was set to leave. We were unsure if we…
Krabi
After my amazing week on Koh Tao, three of my dive group members and myself headed to Krabi on the west coast of Thailand. The move from Koh Tao to Krabi involved a sketchy night boat and a bus driver who almost kicked myself and another passenger out of the van for false crimes. Yay…
Koh Tao
After taking a flight from Phnom Penh to Bangkok, spending the night in Bangkok then taking a night train to Chumphon, I arrived in Koh Tao. The ferry from Chumphon to Koh Tao was an unpleasant experience full of sick bags and big waves. Thankfully years of changing diapers has honed my skill for breathing…
Koh Rong
After over a month of traveling nonstop I needed a break. Koh Rong perfectly fit my needs with amazing people, lovely beaches, and unbelievable water.
Siem Reap
I wasn’t a big fan of Siem Reap. This may be a result of only venturing into the touristy locations, where tuk-tuk drivers and vendors alike hound you every step you take.
Vang Vieng
Spent three great days in Vang Vieng with a group of fellow travelers; we went tubing, played in a lagoon, and simply chilled. Traveling with friends is a lot of fun, but also very different than traveling solo.
The Gibbon Experience
My sole reason for coming to Huay Xai, Laos was the Gibbon Experience. I shelled out $300 big ones, going well over budget for the first time, to hike into the jungle, zip line to tree houses, and hopefully see some Gibbons. My choice to splurge, was easily the best choice I’ve made on my…
