Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Ubud, Bali
At the end of our month living in Chiang Mai, we were a bit concerned that none of our other destinations would come close to matching the amount and variety of delicious restaurants we found there. Lucky for us, once we arrived in Udud it was clear that Chiang Mai had a worthy competitor. The […]
Getting a Good Deal on Travel from Bali to Gili Islands
As Anna-Lisa covered in our previous post, we enjoyed our few days visiting Gili Air, even though the weather was far from ideal while we were there. We enjoyed traveling back and forth between the islands a bit less. There are a few different ways to get to the Gilis, but none of them are […]

Our Crazy Adventure in Laos: The Waterfall Gibbon Experience
In late November, Aurelien and I spent three days, two nights in the middle of the Laos jungle. Why you might ask? We had signed up for the Waterfall Gibbon Experience to find out if spending our days zip lining over the tree tops and the nights in a tree house 100 feet above the ground […]
