We ended our time in Costa Rica with an action-packed couple of days in La Fortuna where we hiked to a volcano and a waterfall and admired the countless hummingbirds!

This opportunity to witness the Thaipusam festival was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Click through for some incredibly shocking images and a video we put together documenting the festival.

We were greeted by ‘tropical depression’ Matthew within 12 hours of our arrival to San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, a small island off the coast of Belize. This was our first severe storm since setting off on our trip.

Since we’ve started traveling full-time in 2010, we ran into a hurricane every year – first Matthew in Belize, then Irene in Washington last year, and this year Ernesto in Mexico…

What a year! Filled with loads of exciting ‘ups’ and a few bumpy ‘downs’ 2012 was filled with amazing journeys that took us from Asia to the U.S., and Latin America. Read on to see the story of this year in pictures!

This week’s Polaroid is about the Batu Caves outside of Kuala Lumpur which are home to a series of limestone caves, Hindu shrines, dozens of adorable monkeys and the upcoming Thaipusam festival!

This week I returned to Niagara Falls for my second visit! After experiencing the Canadian side in 2011, I now got to soak up the feel of the American side (and got completely drenched!)

Last week I went to Santa Rosa in Northern California, a trip that did not only bring me to a bunch of wineries, but also to the Redwoods, the world’s tallest trees!

I love Venice – there’s just no other city that feels the way Venice does. To make the most out of your visit, I am sharing my best Venice travel tips.

We fell head over heels in love with Cuzco, especially with the gorgeous San Blas neighborhood with its narrow, steep and winding street and colonial houses.
