The Freedom Trail is a great way to explore Boston in a day, taking you through major historic sites, mouth-watering markets and around much of the city.

One afternoon this week we set off with a big bottle of water and two mountain bikes to conquer caves and rumored waterfalls outside of Nong Khiew, a tiny town which spans either side of the wide Nam Ou river in Northern Laos. The day didn’t exactly go as planned, but it was perfect…

Buddhism is widely spread throughout Laos and you can see monks in their draping saffron robes everywhere in the country – even cycling through the fields…

The Hindu deity Ganesha is known as Phra Phikanet in Thailand and worshiped by many Thai Buddhists. Make sure to have flowers or donuts handy to him…

The night markets in Thailand are every foodie’s dream: plenty of cheap, delicious dishes cooked up on the side of the road!

The wide open spaces in Ontario and Quebec contrast entirely with the urban scenes of street art around every corner in cities like Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City and Ottawa. Find out which city has the best street art according to the two of us Street Art fan girls!

This week’s Polaroid features a Thai icon: the traditional wooden long-tail boats, which are still a common means of transport throughout South East Asia.

This week’s Polaroid is our first from South East Asia. We’ve had a crash course in all things Bangkok and Buddhism since we arrived in Thailand last week.

We spent the last week in Colorado and were blessed with fantastic weather which allowed us to hike in the Rocky Mountains and watch the rock climbers at Eldorado Canyon.
