New Beginnings + New Babies in Bangkok thumbnail

Where we’re at: I’m recapping my travels in 2020, including this trip to Bangkok in March 2020.  When I first arrived in Thailand as a bright-eyed teenager (seriously, I was nineteen!), my time in Bangkok revolved around important pursuits like ticking off major bucket list sights, and drinking alcohol out of buckets.

Hotel Crush: Bangkok Tree House thumbnail

Bangkok and I are old friends. It’s a city I always go back to — in my last seven month stint in the country, I made five separate trips there. And while I never, ever tire of Thailand’s sprawling capital, I do love exploring new corners of it. Ones that can make even a veteran visitor…

Bangkok, Blurry Vision, And Why I Didn’t Go to Burma (Again) thumbnail

How much do I hate not having 20/20 vision? Let me count the ways. I’m not going to lie: this is a post about disappointment, medical drama, and dealing with corneal scarring. It’s kind of a downer. On the upside, there is some Star Wars in there too. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. Back…
