First and foremost bus trips in Vietnam are out of this world. Every bus trip you take here is not only the most interesting experience of your life but death defying at the same time. I would like for all you who read my blog to please check out Katrina's blog about our bus riding experiences in Vietnam because I don't think I could have summed it up any better haha. Just check it out, you will get a kick out of it =) I told you this because we took a very long and bumpy bus trip from Mui Ne to Dalat (a very cute mountain town that kinda has the feeling of Tahoe and San Fran all rolled into one). Delat is officially one of my favorite cities in Vietnam so far. It reminded ... read more

Where do I even begin? I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon last Sunday night and my immediate first impression was "Oh my god, this place is awesome. It's all lit up like a small New York." Well that it was but after my first full day there I wasn't too impressed. Katy loved Saigon whereas for me, it was alright. Actually it was too noisy for me. People are honking their horns every 10 seconds. It's almost like an every minute of every day kind of greeting that everyone does at every single corner and down every single street. Needless to say, the noise and bustle of the city got to me. It's definitley not the type of place that I could or would ever want to live in. We managed to go ... read more

A couple of days ago Katy and I met up with these three guys (one Australian and the other two were from London) and went to visit an orphanage. We took a tuk tuk to the ACODO (Assisting Cambodian Orphans and the Disabled Organization) Orphanage and spent a couple of hours playing with the kids. Let me just say that now I know why Angelina Jolie adopted from Cambodia. These were some of the cutest and sweetest kids I have ever met. The moment our tuk tuk pulled up to the orphanage we were bombarded with hundreds of little hands wanting to hug and hold your hands. All these kids want is a little attention and affection. Which we were more than happy to give. They especially liked getting their picture taken and being able to ... read more

First and foremost let me try and explain to you how excited I am to finally be in Cambodia. Before Katy and I left for this trip, we would go down to Borders Books and sit for hours looking through the different travel books and everytime I went there I always took out the book on Cambodia first. Every single time! I don't really know why I had a crush on Cambodia but I just did. I was interested in the culture and I wanted to see all the different temples. Well, after only 3 days here I have experienced quite a lot and have seen many of the temples inside Angkor Wat. I flew into Siem Reap, Cambodia on the 15th of November (Katy arrived earlier in the day and picked me up from the ... read more

We arrived in Thailand on the night of November 4th (for all of you that would be November 3rd). The Bangkok airport is a little on the difficult side to navigate around seeing as how there are no signs anywhere and the ones that are around are most likely not in English. Needless to say because Katy and I are awesome travelers haha we managed to find our way outside and to a taxi. We got a hotel room for the first night at a place called My House. The accomodations were alright minus the fact that it was loud (Katy woke up a lot during the night but as per usual I slept right through it all) and the room smelled...we went out and bought some inscense. We got up in the morning, found a ... read more
