Time to dive back into roundups! Since I’m working my way through my black hole of content from September of 2016 to April of 2017, that means we’ve got roundups to catch up on as well. This post covers into March of 2017. Apologies for the delay, but I suppose better is late than never… right? And to […]

I love anniversaries. This post marks six years since I traded my beautiful life in Brooklyn for an endless road of boarding passes, baggage claims, and big blogging dreams. I still pinch myself over how it’s all turned out. What an amazing reminder to pause and soak up the fact that looking beyond the day-to-day drama I try to laugh at, […]

So I’ll be jumping back and forth a bit again. Apologies for any confusion, my friends! Our time in Penang was flying by. Granted, we’d lost a day and […]

They are easy and fun to write, they do well in search engines, and they get good responses.  Recently, flipping through my passport in anticipation of my upcoming trip to Spain, I realized I had surpassed my 10th foreign country without even acknowledging the milestone! I was already at eleven. Maybe not such […]

It was part of a larger, two month trip through Southeast Asia, but taken on its own we found was a fantastic […]

I can’t find the square mileage anywhere, perhaps it has never been measured. But it was dwarfed by our beloved island of Koh Tao, a mere 13 square miles in size. Not only […]

After all, we had come to the Perhentians in part for the virgin reefs fringing the islands. We dove with the in-house dive shop at our bungalow, making it easy to roll out of bed and wade out […]

You can see the earliest posts in the series, including tales of nearly sleeping on the beach, searching for the world’s biggest flower, and eating McDonald’s in Kuala Lumpur here. Eyes still feeling a bit wonky, we weren’t ready to dive yet […]
