We were down to our last days in Thailand and in two more sleeps, would be heading home. We had decided in advance to not do much exploring in Phuket. Our focus was on Krabi and Phuket was just going to be our resting place before our long trek home. We couldn’t have planned a … More Rain and Relaxation at the Renaissance in Phuket
We wanted to end our trip on the beaches of Thailand, spending most of our time in Krabi. Unfortunately, the weather did not get the memo.

Here’s some pics of our time spent in Krabi, Thailand: We … More Clouds, Drinks and Beaches in Krabi, Thailand
We often like to tour cities and just do normal things like the locals do and Bangkok was no exception. In fact, we were itching to feel a bit of normal life after our adventures in Myanmar but of course we couldn’t go without making some tourist stops along the way. Here is a mishmash … More A Weekend in Bangkok
After a one hour flight from Yangon to Heho on the local airline, Yangon Airways (who served food on a one hour flight!), and then a one hour drive, we arrived to the town of Nyaung Shwe, Myanmar.

Armando and I went on our first ever Asian trip together this past November…Singapore, Myanmar and Thailand. We fit so much in our 2 and a half weeks and although we took ten flights during that short time and spent hours in airports, we still saw and experienced so much. I thought I’d share with … More Exploring Singapore
Tonight I was filling out a travel visa application form. My first one ever! One of the lucky perks of being a Canadian: you don’t often need to get a travel visa to enter countries. I was actually quite excited about the process though. Well, not so much the process but the end result of … More Nationalities, Travel Visas and Canadian Pride
I explained our whole Paris pick-pocketing dilemma in my last post. And as we head back to Paris this week, I am determined to have a pick-pocket-free trip so I wanted an anti-theft purse. Now, I could have gone the easy way and bought an expensive anti-theft bag that are made by the professionals. They … More DIY Anti-Theft Purse
On our first trip to Paris, this was my travel purse: On our first trip to Paris, this was Armando’s travel wallet: Yes, a picture is missing of Armando’s wallet because it was pick-pocketed by a gang of gypsies.
