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 [...]

Our group awoke early the next morning and piled into our sweet minibus to begin the long drive on the King’s Highway to Petra, stopping at various sites along the way. We first visited Mt. Nebo, the place where Moses was given a view of the Promised Land from God to the Israelites. It [...]
‘Do you want to know what he REALLY is??’

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 [...]

Trekking in the Annapurna region isn’t exactly roughing it. You start your day around 6:30 a.m. and have breakfast before hitting the trail around 7 or 8. Most days you hike 5 or 6 hours, stopping for lunch along the way, although we did have a couple of 7-8 hour days. Kelly and I chose [...]

With almost 4 months of travelling under our belts, Kim and I said goodbye to New Zealand and moved on to the east coast of Australia. First stop, Sydney. We’ve all seen images of the infamous Syndey Opera House and Harbor Bridge, the Botanical Gardens, Darling Harbor, etc. Well, it’s all just as amazing as [...]
