Sea Lice and Black Tip Sharks, Oh My! Snorkeling the Perhentian Islands thumbnail

Like yesterday, this is a backlogged post of my halfway-through-abandoned 2009 Malaysia trip coverage. 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…

The Perhentian Islands: Kayaking In Search of The Beach thumbnail

So… remember when I went to Malaysia? Nearly two years ago? Yeah that was fun. So fun that I totally abandoned all illusion of blogging and just… traveled. It was great at the time, but I now regret it as I find myself grasping at those memories as they fade slowly from my frazzled mind. So…

Okay so I already spilled the beans: I was a lazy traveler in Vegas and exerted most of my energy dancing late into the night rather than during the day when these attractions are open. But since I can’t stand to let one of my precious listicles go to waste, I’ve compiled it here for future…

Letting Go in Sin City thumbnail

Bye bye cold New York! Less than a week after my return from the Bahamas, I was back on a plane headed for a trip of another variety entirely: a trip with three of my best friends from high school to a city I had been fantasizing about for years. I realize there are many people…
