Traveling on a budget can be difficult, but I find we see a lot more of places because we aren't able to stay in anything that would involve "all inclusive."

Culture Shock
After a nice time in Koh Samoi, Thailand with good friends, Ryan and I arrived in Australia. Somehow with no extra charge added despite our extremely over-weight luggage – thanks to Ryan’s charm…who knew? We arrived early afternoon in Brisbane after a pleasant, 9-hour flight on Thai airways. Since we... Continue reading

Physical Activity
I must say that my lifestyle in China is much different than in the U.S. At home, I kept myself busy with work, school, family, friends, working out, etc. When there was time for me to just vegg out and be lazy, it would make me feel guilty. What also... Continue reading
