Let’s face it – today’s traveler is not likely to go anywhere without their trusty smartphone. For some, this may take a bit of the relaxation out of a holiday. But on the bright side, it’s a great way to keep some incredible resources right at your fingertips. I’ve tried and tested several travel apps…

My Travels: Dominican – Making the Most of it…
So, we’ve been home from the Dominican for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve gone back and forth in my mind on how I want to tell the story. There was a lot of negativity. Initially, I swore I’d get home and set in on a rant, ripping apart the resort and the package…
My Travels: Hua Hin, Vacation Destination of the Locals
We had left Phuket full of excitement to see Chiang Mai – and we were not let down. The northern city gave us some of the greatest memories from our trip; however we are beginning to miss the crystal clear waters and white sand of the beaches. The slow, carefree pace of beach life. So…
Soaring Through the Treetops, and other Incredible Chiang Mai Attractions
Flight of the Gibbon The absolute highlight of our time spent in Chiang Mai was soaring through the treetops of the Thai jungle. Flight of the Gibbon is a fantastic organization (with great staff) who operate a zip-line through the forest canopy some 1300m above sea level. Nearly 2km of wire with 18 staging platforms…
When the Indecisive Try to Plan Travel
Eleven months ago now hubs and I were beaching, shopping, temple-ing, and wandering all over the incredible country of Thailand.

Also beyond comparison was the travel time and…

Formerly the capital of the ancient Lanna kingdom, Chiang Mai now houses over 1 million people in the metropolitan area, and is Thailand’s fifth-largest city. Surrounded by mountains and lovely countryside, this city is…
My Travels: Bangkok Sukhumvit District
After two days in the semi-suburban outskirts of the city, we are thrown into the midst of an ever-busy, ever-bustling, ever-beautiful metropolis like I’ve never seen before. Bangkok streets are madness on wheels, with three-lane highways carrying four lanes of traffic, and scooters weaving in and out of larger vehicles as they please. It’s loud…
My Travels: Bangkok Beautiful
This is incredible. The blazing night lights of the city as the plane nears its runway have me in a trance. It doesn’t help that I have hardly slept in the past 24 hours, but that’s beside the point. We touch down at 2:15am local time. The Bangkok airport is as bright as high noon…
