After the cool forests of Mount Kenya, our next stop brought us back into classic safari territory—with a few unforgettable twists. Lake Nakuru National Park and nearby Lake Elmenteita gave us some of the most emotional wildlife moments of our entire 12-day Kenya itinerary, including our first up-close lion sightings and a crash of white rhinos (baby included 🥹). We …
After several days of classic safari landscapes in Samburu National Reserve, Mount Kenya National Park felt like a complete shift in pace and scenery. Instead of wide-open savannahs and all-day game drives, we traded dusty roads for cool mountain air, dense forest, and a lodge experience unlike anywhere else on our 12-day Kenya itinerary. Our stop at Mount Kenya National …
If you’re planning a Kenyan safari that goes beyond the usual Masai Mara route, Samburu National Reserve in Kenya is an unforgettable place to begin your journey. Samburu was the first safari stop on our 12-day Kenyan adventure, and it set the tone for everything that followed—dramatic landscapes, abundant wildlife, and that unmistakable “this is really happening” feeling you only …
“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!

The last leg of our incredible 2-week Southeast Asia trip was spent on Karon Beach in Phuket, i.e. the “Pearl of the Andaman,” Thailand’s largest island, and one of the best places to visit in Thailand. We planned Phuket as our last stop, since we’d heard that it was one of the best places in Thailand to vacation. And, we …
After our three days in Hanoi, Vietnam and an overnight layover at the Bangkok Airport, we made our way from Bangkok to Khao Sok National Park, where we’d be staying the night on a floating bungalow! I sort of stumbled upon Khao Sok when researching places to visit in Thailand, as it isn’t a well-known tourist destination. And, as it …
In July 2019, my friend, Candace, and I planned an epic 2-week Southeast Asia itinerary following our time in India. And, one of the highlights of our Vietnam itinerary was our overnight cruise to Bai Tu Long Bay. Bai Tu Long Bay is a hidden gem located in the northeastern part of Vietnam, just a few hours away from the …
After two action-packed days in Delhi, a day trip to see the Taj Mahal in Agra, and three days exploring Chiang Mai, Candace, and I made our way to Hanoi, Vietnam to continue our 2-week Southeast Asia trip.

When we started planning our trip to Thailand, my first thought was ELEPHANTS. I’ve loved elephants since I was a kid, so 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 to avoid those places during our trip. After some thorough research, …
