Work Hard. Travel Harder
Fig Hill Farm We threw our packs into the dark abyss of the luggage hold under our bus and got on. I was nervous and excited about the week to come, but I was also dreading the nine hour bus ride. We got comfy in our seats as the bus drove south out of Sydney, thoughts […]
Sometimes all the excitement of visiting new places is exhausting. You’re always on the go, always trying to check off those ‘must-see’ tourists spots in your lonely planet guidebook, trying things outside your comfort zone, and telling new people your story. Usually this is what I crave, and what I love about travel. It can […]
The Whitsundays were supposed to be a trip filled with snorkeling, diving, island hopping, and relaxation. Thanks to Cyclone Marcia, they did not go quite as planned. We had a long day of driving ahead of us to make it to Airlie Beach which would be our jumping point to the islands. After our visit […]
Gili T White sand beaches, turquoise water, coral reefs, turtles, biking, tropical bars, sunsets…Paradise. This is the island of Gili T, one of three small islands tucked up in the northwest corner off Lombok. The Gili Islands are a one-two hour boat ride from Bali’s eastern coast, and worth the trek. They consist of Gili […]
Sanur As humans, we are naturally drawn to water. You know that feeling of calm that stems from being on, in, or near the water. The sound of the ocean waves. The feel of it engulfing you as you jump into its depths. The Earth is made up of 71% water, and our bodies contain […]
To me Bali is more than just a place; it is a feeling. I felt its tug on me last year when we came for the first time. Though it was too short of a trip, Bali immediately brought me in and engulfed me in its natural beauty. Its vibrant green rice terraces flooded my […]
Hoi An When you’re traveling the world and trying to figure out where to ring in the New Year, it seems like a daunting task. You could go anywhere…hundreds of options come to mind, where the party is grand and never ending fireworks explode into the sky. But for us, we just wanted to be […]
Happy 2015, friends! It’s January already, can you even believe it? As Josh and I hauled our packs around Europe and Asia the last few months, time has been funny. One minute the clock seems to be turning in slow motion, allowing us take in the fresh air, live in the moment, and just stop […]
Ok, maybe my last post was a bit melodramatic. But our chaotic arrival into Phnom Penh (including the night bus) leading into our first day on the job felt pretty crazy. What we soon would find out, is that this whole month would go on to feel pretty nutty. In a good way, but we […]
Arriving here felt like a scene out of ‘The Amazing Race’ reality show. We had less than one hour once we landed in Siem Reap’s airport to get off the plane, go through immigration, get our Visa on arrival, then grab a tuk-tuk to downtown Siem Reap where we’d jump onto our night bus that […]
