For the first time in our lives, we were millionaires. On our arrival to Vietnam, we withdrew ONE MILLION dongs from the ATM. Our fists were full but our bellies were empty and like always, our first mission was to explore the local food scene. Vietnam is known around the globe as a foodie’s paradise …
Before landing in Da Nang, Vietnam we couldn’t imagine that our number one pastime would be playing billiards. Shooting pool is surprisingly popular, especially in the My An neighborhood. Whether it’s 8 ball, 9 ball, or the more popular Vietnamese game Carom, there is a table waiting for you. We visited all of the bars …
Just beyond the crashing waves of Da Nang, lies a small, unsuspecting amusement park. For a mere 150,000 Dongs ($6.50 USD), you can visit Sun World Da Nang Wonders; The Epcot of SE Asia. At the center of the park sits the main attraction – a massive ferris wheel which can be seen from all …
A country oozing with so much cool, we debated skipping our flight to Thailand. The Republic of Georgia is the kind of place that gets under your skin, into your heart, and makes you wonder why the hell more people aren’t fleeing here in droves. And if you lack self control like we do, it …
365 days in a year. As I sit here typing, we are down to the final few of 2019. Our year has unfolded in ways we never could have imagined. Life on the road is a constant challenge, but one we happily accept. This year marked the beginning of our marriage, our foray into the …

As we drifted further from the center of Chiang Mai, we wondered where exactly we had booked our hotel. Sitting in our taxi on the way to Home at Nine after a long 10 hour bus journey, we were convinced this travel day would never come to an end. “Shouldn’t we be there by now?” …
“Oooh, hot boy!” she giggled from across the kitchen of the Bhum Thai cookery school. No, she wasn’t eyeing up my husband. She was just amused by his insatiable desire to add more chili peppers to his food. I couldn’t help but do a little dance (spatula in hand) chanting “hot boy” for the next …
When we arrived in Belgrade, it felt like stepping into the land of giants. Serbia is home to some of the tallest people in the world. And the most attractive too. That’s a deadly combination – especially when they are your competition in a beer pong tournament. Nevertheless, our hearts still beat for Belgrade. Much …
From vine to bottle, here is a story about the journey of Datca Vineyard’s award-winning blush wine and the man who makes it. The blush wine produced here is made from the native Turkish grape, Öküzgözü . This is a full-bodied red grape that when translated means, “eye of the bull.” Megan and I arrived …
