Most people back home are surprised by this and ask us what was so great about Turkey…well, here’s what: The Landscape With beautiful beaches along the Mediterranean coastline, emerald green hills, and poppy-strewn fields, and [...]

Nepal Wrap Up

The Landscape Nepal’s natural beauty is really beyond words. Seeing the the Himalayas so up close and personal is a draw-dropping experience. If mountain trekking isn’t your deal, whitewater rivers, tranquil lakes, valleys, forests, and jungle are all there for exploring. The planning of our round-the-world trip revolved almost entirely around our trek in Nepal. [...]
Laos Wrap Up

The Landscape The Mekong and Nam Song rivers wind through mist covered mountains, farmland, jungle, and rice paddies. The only downside is that a lot of slash and burning goes on here, so the sun is usually obscured by a smoky haze. The roads are horrible. Since they are unpaved, it takes five times as [...]

Thailand is a pretty kick-ass country. The fact that it is sooooo touristy did rub Kelly and me the wrong way from time to time, but hey…places are touristy for a reason, right? Overall, we had a great time and of course, hope to make it back one day. The Landscape You’ve seen the pictures. Awesome beaches, [...]

Our last night in Auckland, we had dinner with Ben and Jo and took a walk around the harbour during sunset. I love New Zealand and truly consider it my ‘home away from home’. The landscape and weather The New Zealand landscape is extremely diverse and dramatic, especially for such a small country…it’s no wonder [...]
Argentina Wrap Up

We spent our last few days in Argentina chilling out in Buenos Aires. Several people had mentioned a drum circle concert that takes place every Monday night, so we grabbed our friends Dave and Brian from Punta Del Diablo, piled into a couple of taxis and headed to ‘La Bomba’. The show was very cool…about [...]

Kelly and I loved Costa Rica and hope to make it back someday to explore more of the towns in Guanacaste, Nicoya, and the Caribbean side. These are our final thoughts before we head off to our next destination. The Landscape and Weather: Tropical rainforests with a ton of wildlife, palm trees, golden sand beaches, [...]
