I love being a tourist in my own city. Especially with people that have never been to Austin. Extra especially when they have never even been to Texas, or America for that matter. Kelly and I totally slacked on the blog the last few months of our trip and never wrote about our time in [...]

Jealous Again
Posted in Post Trip, tagged Friends, Post Trip, Reflections on November 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
In the year or so I’ve been home, several people have asked me if I was able to ‘get traveling out of my system’ after spending such a long time on the road. You would think this would be the case after sleeping in hostels, wearing the same clothes, and living out of a back [...]

One bittersweet aspect of travel is making awesome new friends and then having to part ways with them days or weeks later, knowing you’ll probably never see them again. Most backpackers accept this as part of the long-term travel lifestyle, but I say its bullshit. Sure, the norm is that you won’t ever see the [...]

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 [...]

After a great time in Istanbul, Kim, Seth and I took a 12 hour bus ride to Cappadocia, a region of central Anatolia characterized by rose colored mountains, caves, underground cities, and giant rock ‘fairy chimneys’, which were formed by the erosion of volcanic peaks. To be honest, no one can deny what the fairy chimneys actually look like. I know we are probably [...]
A Few Days in Istanbul

Kim and I absolutely loved Nepal. However, we were both looking forward to heading into the westernized world once again. After a full 24 hours of travel and a bump up to first class on one of our flights (yeah!), we landed in Istanbul, Turkey. We checked in to our hostel in Sultanahmet, the heart [...]

With 12 days of trekking under our belts, Kelly and I were looking forward to returning to Pokhara for some good ol’ r&r. Situated below the Annapurna mountain range on the tranquil waters of Lake Phewa Tal, Pokhara is a chilled out town with cute restaurants, bars, and shops. We spent four days wandering the [...]
Chiang Mai is Our Kind of Town

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 [...]

Kelly and I were fortunate to meet up with Doug again and have him as our tour guide for the rest of our time in the city. He grew up in Hong Kong and was in town visiting his parents for a few weeks…we love having a local to show us around! He and his friend Joseph [...]
