With another overnight bus ride under our belts, we arrived in Fethiye, a town located in the south of Turkey along the Mediterranean coast. We would stay here a full day and night before catching our boat for a 4 night Blue Cruise along the coast over to Olympos. V-Go’s, our hostel in Fethiye, was super nice; they had [...]

Annapurna Sanctuary Trek – Part II
Posted in Nepal, tagged Food, Locals, Mountains, Nepal, Trekking on June 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »
As Kim mentioned before, I had a rough time the first few days of the trek. However, once I had my ‘Nepali magic shoes’ and my phenomenal 75 song, jammin’ playlist I created on my ipod, things got much better physically and reaching the base camp was one of the best feelings mentally I have [...]

Located in northern Thailand, Chiang Mai is known as the cultural city of the country and amongst other activities, is a popular destination to undertake a trek to hill-tribe villages. After all of the island hopping, Kelly and I settled down for a whole week here and really fell in love with the place. Despite [...]
Eating Our Way Through Hong Kong
Posted in Hong Kong, tagged Food, Hong Kong on March 19, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Oh… the food. When Kim and I were planning this trip, one of the main reasons we picked Hong Kong as a destination was because of the food. And boy were we glad we did. Generally speaking, Hong Kong is known for having a huge eating culture. Meal time is when locals gather to not only enjoy [...]

Our train ride down the eastern coast of the North Island was so beautiful. The scenery is amazing here! Not to mention a great bar car fully equipped with the local beer, Monteith’s. Very yummy. We made it into Wellington, the country’s capital city, that afternoon and got settled into the hostel and quickly learned just [...]
Chillin In Chile
Posted in Chile, tagged Beaches, Chile, Food, Friends on December 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Kelly and I only had a week in Chile, so unfortunately we didn’t have time to explore much of the country and stuck mainly to Santiago and Valparaiso. We’d definitely like to make it back someday to visit the Atacama desert and see the Lakes District and Pucon. After waiting two hours in immigrations and [...]
Into Patagonia

To me, the word ‘Patagonia’ has always conjured images of a far away ancient landscape that was only visited by the most adventurous of travelers and trekkers. Visions of bearded men scaling jagged mountains and massive glaciers would pop into my head and I knew that we had to experience this place, even if we [...]

Mendoza. Wine country! With the friendly people, tree-shaded streets, lovely plazas, huge park, and tons of vineyards 20 minutes away, Kim and I could totally live here. There are over 1,200 wineries in the Mendoza region, all specializing in Malbec. We were in heaven! After our 23 hour bus ride, we arrived in Mendoza on [...]
