If you’ve opted out of reading our longer Kenya post and are just interested in learning about what we did in the Samburu National Reserve, then you’re in the right place! Let me catch you up first, so you have a bit of context. A BROAD REFRESHER My boyfriend, Tim, and I, along with our friends – two other couples, …
“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” – Susan Sontag Sontag didn’t get it right this time – we went to many places that weren’t on our list during this trip! That’s to say, our Kenya trip started out with a BANG. Quick note: It’s difficult to concisely share about our twelve day trip, and I realize this …
I spent the summer of 2019 largely in India for work, and my friend Tammy and I overlapped in our rotations there for about 4 weeks. We were both working from the Delhi office at the same time, so we decided to take a side trip to Jaipur for the weekend when we got there – one of the best …
The last leg of our Southeast Asia trip was spent on the white sandy beaches of Phuket, i.e. the “Pearl of the Andaman” and Thailand’s largest island. We planned this so we would end our action-packed adventure relaxing on the beach and getting lots of Thai massages before flying back to India and then, all the way back to the …
After our trip to Hanoi and our long overnight layover in the Bangkok airport, we flew into the Surat Thani airport, headed for Khao Sok National Park. I sort of stumbled upon Khao Sok when researching places to travel in Thailand, as it isn’t a super well-known location for most tourists, but the pictures were gorgeous, and I got my …
One of the excursions we were most looking forward to on our Southeast Asia trip was our cruise to Bai Tu Long Bay, which funny enough, had actually been inspired by a post we saw on Instagram. While researching, we learned the beaches are popular tourist spots, and we wanted a more relaxing experience; that’s how we landed on the …
After an absolutely amazing time in Chiang Mai, we headed to the airport for our short flight to Hanoi, Vietnam. And right away, things got pretty interesting! The airport was a short taxi ride from where we had been staying, so getting there was a non-issue, but once we arrived, it became clear that Candace’s Vietnam visa was not “valid”. …
When I thought about visiting Thailand, my first thought was ELEPHANTS. I’ve loved elephants since I was a kid, so when we started planning our trip I knew we needed to visit an elephant sanctuary; I also knew that a lot of places exploit and abuse elephants, and it was important to me that we not support any of those …
After being blessed to see the Taj Mahal in all of its glory, it was time for Candace and me to head to Thailand for our Southeast Asian adventure! To optimize our time in each location, we chose an overnight flight from Delhi to Chiang Mai with an early morning layover in Bangkok. We arrived in Chiang Mai around 10 …
If you read our Delhi post, you know that we went to dinner at a wine bar and stayed up late the night before our planned 3:00 AM trip to Agra. Apparently, the wine hit us ladies pretty hard because we slept through all of our alarms (we are talking about six different alarms here). Candace’s coworker, Spencer, who was …
