You can read my previous roundups here, here, here, and here. Reading through my Month 5 Roundup and my Cambodia vs. Vietnam comparison, it’s no secret that Vietnam didn’t “speak to me” the way that Cambodia did. I had […]

Its fans wax poetic about the breathtaking landscape, the intriguing culture and the resilient population. Its detractors spew bitterly about the traffic, the crime, and most of all: the unfriendly people. I’m fascinated by this. What is it […]

One benefit of being a travel blog addict is having some great recommendations before even arriving in a destination.

Now we’re back in Bangkok and it’s time to put my head down for two weeks as I have the heaviest work load of freelance projects I’ve had since leaving the States. Once those two weeks are up […]
