Singapore is expensive, there’s no way around it. But it’s a great place to ease your way into traveling in Southeast Asia if you’ve never been there. It’s also an easy airport to get to from other parts of the world, so even if you’re going somewhere else in the region, it’s worth considering spending […]
Malaysia is often overlooked in favor of its cheaper neighbors, such as Thailand. While I can’t say Malaysia was my favorite country, it’s definitely worth spending some time there. It has a completely different culture and vibe from the rest of southeast Asia, and that alone makes it interesting. Here’s a look at how much […]
Thailand is the first country that comes to mind for many people when they think of Southeast Asia. It’s definitely the most popular country in that region of the world due to the tasty food, gorgeous islands, friendly locals, and of course, the low prices. When Andy and I started our winter escape to Southeast […]
Andy and I flew to Cambodia after a few days in Singapore with no real plans beyond the first week. We ended up spending two nights in Phnom Penh and 11 nights in Siem Reap. We thought about going somewhere else as well, like Battambang or one of the beaches, but ultimately we decided we […]

With three full months to spend in Berlin, we decided to visit some other cities during a few weekends. I haven’t seen as much of Germany as I’d like, so we started looking at cities within two hours or so from Berlin. Number one on our list was Hamburg. I’ve always heard great things about […]
Rome was the last stop on our trip this summer. Since it’s such a big city with so many things to do, we booked nine nights, and really, that wasn’t even enough. We did several tours, wandered around to do our own sightseeing, and made sure to fit in lots of relaxation time. We actually […]
The Amalfi Coast was where we recovered from so many weeks of traveling through Europe too quickly. It’s such a gorgeous part of Italy, and even though there are tons of activities to do and so many beautiful sights to see, we mostly just sat around enjoying the view. We needed that time to slow […]
After visiting Luxembourg for a couple days and spending a week and a half in the Netherlands, Andy and I moved on to Belgium. We spent one week in Brussels and took a few day trips. We originally planned on doing more, but our time in the Netherlands ended up being a lot more fast-paced […]
