Hpa An is a great town below Yangon in Myanmar that turned out to be my favorite stop during my three-week road trip from Mandalay to Yangon. One of the first things I did when I arrived in Hpa An, was to head out on the Hpan Pu Mountain Hike for sunset. HPAN PU MOUNTAIN …
It’s my second week of exploration in Myanmar with my sister joining the adventure. I am still trying to adapt to just how quiet this place is right now. It could be that I’ve become accustomed to getting yelled at and hassled the moment I stepped out my door in India or it could be …
The Indonesia Media Trip came to a close and I spent a few days recovering in Bali. Lots of content needed to be edited, written and exciting emails read. I actually enjoy hanging out in coffee shop/ hotel lobby side of blogging for the most part so it was nice to take a break from …
The second week of exploring Indonesia with the Indonesia Tourism Board was absoultely mental. Day 4 On the fourth day of our scuba trip through Indonesia, I woke early before taking a walk down the streets of Alor. Friendly locals took photos with us and said good morning as they began another day on the …
I woke up on day 11 wondering how 24 hours could be better spent than our diving adventure and exploration of Piaynemo the day before. Somehow we almost managed to match this incredible experience with another crazy day of unexpected wonders. After breakfast at the Raja Ampat Dive Resort, we all crammed on the boat …
I’m overwhelmed right now. I know why I’m overwhelmed and this positive overload of emotions is under control. For the last two years, Raja Ampat has been on my bucket list. I had seen photos all over social media and the internet and heard that it was quite isolated. I had never even considered diving …
Our first full day in Raja Ampat was quite relaxed by the standards of this adventurous trip. We did 3 scuba dives throughout the day and visited a secluded island for lunch. I’ve figured out my favorite part of scuba diving is watching sharks, of which we saw many today. We also spotted large schools …
Day 7 & Day 8 on The Trip of Wonders were transit days so I combined them into one post here on my blog and on Facebook. We were heading from Flores to Raja Ampat, an unlikely route that required four flights in two days. I think I’ve flown on over 40 fights already this …
Day 6 on the Trip of Wonders in Indonesia began a little earlier than your average day. At 3:40 am I rolled out of bed, jumped in a boat and then hiked up a hill to catch what would be one of the best sunrises of my 2017. At around 5:30 am the sun rose …
It is the middle of the Trip of Wonders and the late nights of editing are starting to catch up with me. However, the relentless adventure chasing hasn’t slowed in the slightest, in fact, it has accelerated if anything. Today I woke as the sun shone in through the windows of my second-floor bedroom on …
On the fourth day of our scuba trip through Indonesia, I woke early before taking a walk down the streets of Alor. Friendly locals took photos with us and said good morning as they began another day on the island. For our crew, the day involved two flights, which would have us arriving to Labuan Bajo …
Our plane took off from Bali as I embarked on a personal milestone journey with a group of strangers I’m sure are soon to be friends. One year ago I was invited on my first ever media trip by Indonesia Tourism Board, fast forward to today and I have been invited back for another Indonesia adventure. …
