Whether you’re travelling as a single person or with family, the cost of car hire can take a significant sum from your budget. However, depending on the location, having the freedom to self-drive to local attractions and stock up on food at the local supermarket can save you money once you arrive. An alternative to […]
Travelling the world can be expensive, and at times (say during the midst of a global pandemic) be challenging. However, if you’re travelling for work rather than as part of a gap year escape or adventurous trip, it can be much easier to facilitate. Earning as you explore the world gives you the opportunity to […]

In the last few days, I wrote a review that escaped out of my hands and started running all over the internet, and it was not unlike that time when I was ten and my hamster got out of its cage and pooped everywhere. What I could not have imagined – what I at my most […]
⛴ Good morning from Bangkok. Today I’m on a special one-day excursion on the Chao Phraya River aboard the RIVA Express. I love doing boats trips and so couldn’t resist. Cost is 699 Baht and there will be seven stops. This is a live THREAD of the trip. The RIVA Express has a lower deck […]
There are many picture-perfect places in the Caribbeans, but Curaçao (which is now open to foreign visitors) stands out as one of the region’s most alluring destinations. Known for its rich heritage, brightly painted colonial architecture, and exciting culinary scene, it offers an island escape with a difference. Planning a trip to Curaçao in 2022 […]

Last week, Rand and I crossed a milestone. I didn’t realize it; I was sitting at my computer, bones turning to dust, when he shouted from the bottom of the stairs, “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!” “Holy crap. Twenty years!” I shouted back at him. And I ran down and hugged him, and we kissed, and we did […]

To be fair, the delta between our clothing has always […]
Good morning from Bangkok Railway Station. Today I’m taking the excursion train to Nam Tok in Kanchanaburi. There will be a couple of stops along the way before we get to the waterfall. When you get on the Nam Tok excursion train, it’s important that you get in the right carriage. This is because the […]
In October of this year, we left for Italy. Our last trip there was scheduled for March of 2020. I think about that a lot – about the alternate reality in which that trip was still possible. I remember the date of our departure approaching, and my concern about this new flu spreading across Europe. […]
This morning I’m exploring Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem on foot. This outer moat for the Grand Palace was dug in the 1850’s during the reign of King Rama IV. The canal is 20m wide, 3m deep and 5.5km long. All of the land on the right hand bank of this photo belongs to the railway. […]
