This small town on the outskirts of Bangkok had a surprising number of things to see and do. Check out my list to see why you should explore beyond city limits during your next trip to the Thai capital!
This small port town on the Malaysian coast near Kuala Lumpur was a mixed bag to say the least. Read this post to learn what I liked and what I didn't, and whether you should visit or not!
Now that I’ve lived here for six months, I can personally confirm that Vietnam has something for everyone. Trying to list all of the beaches worth visiting would be futile; the same goes for towns surrounded by beautiful green mountains. But for all you history buffs out there, look no further than the city of Huế...
Greetings, friends! I’m so excited to share with you my most recent excursion: Penang (George Town), Malaysia! This small island state off the coast of West Malaysia near the border with Thailand is a hidden gem of a destination. That’s because it’s so wonderfully multicultural...

Earlier this month I spent a weekend in Belize and absolutely loved it! I visited the quiet little town of Corozal right across from the Mexico border and was fascinated by the little details that make this town so quaint. Corozal was the perfect place to get a first look at Belizean culture...
