If you visit Chiang Mai and never get out of town for at least a night, you’re to really experiencing Chiang Mai. While there’s plenty to see in Chiang Mai’s Old City and surrounding neighborhoods, the region’s real charm lies in its rural rice fields and jungle covered mountains. Just drive 30 minutes outside the center of […]

2016 was kind of a strange travel year for me. I probably traveled the least out of the past several years, but when I did, I made it count by staying in some truly incredible places and traveling with friends and family, instead of solo, as much as I could. Here’s some a snapshot of my […]

Oh The Mustang Nero Hotel, you are so strange. And I love every bit of you. Continuing my affinity with boutique hotels in Bangkok, I stayed at a small, 8-room place that’s only able to be booked through Air BnB (create an account here and get $30 (950 baht) in credit!). If you like giant […]

So you say yes and the property is even more beautiful than you expected. Tucked away down a small, unassuming red dirt road in Siem Reap, Cambodia, Navutu Dreams […]

The first time I ever went to Bangkok, I stayed in a white jail cell of a room off of Khao San Road. I had been dropped off on the side of the road at 4:00 a.m. and didn’t have a place to stay, so wandered around a little and got a room at the first guest […]
