As we are leaving South East Asia, we are thinking of all the things we’ll miss – one of them being the daily alms giving ceremony that we witnessed in many places.

Live toads, whole chickens, seaweed…come and take a visual tour of the markets of Laos with us.

After over six months in South East Asia, we finally made it to Angkor Wat last week. Find out what impressed us the most here at the world’s biggest religious site.

They say that travel is about the journey, not the destination…In our recent Reflections post, we said that we love the nitty-gritty of bus travel. We thought it was about time to share just what ‘nitty-gritty’ entails, so we are inviting you along on our journey from the tiny, unremarkable town of Muang Sing in the very north of Laos, near the Chinese border, to the beautiful river town of Nong Khiaw.

We spent a few days in Sihanoukville last week and truly felt like we were on vacation! The main reason for this was our excellent hotel, the Beach Club Resort.

We celebrated our 700th day on the road last weekend! There were some amazing highs and almost no lows – Find out about the Tops & Flops of our last 100 days.

This travel guide to Nong Khiaw (Nong Khiew) includes places to stay, where to eat, what to do and see, and where you find the best free wifi in town.

Who knew that French baguettes were so popular in Cambodia? Even though the French left over 50 years ago, there are daily baked baguettes in the markets everywhere. Ooo la la!

So…it took us months to talk about it but…we got scammed in Bangkok. Here’s our story. You can laugh, you can cry with us, but definitely take it to heart as these scams happen to tons of nice folks who visit the Thai capital.

After our month-long road trip through the South, our bodies were longing for some healthy food, and we decided to try as many vegan restaurants in Chicago as possible.
