Dare to trip.

"The mountains are calling and I must go" - John Muir

Singapore

What? Singapore is a global commerce, financial and transportation hub. Their greening policy has covered the densely populated island with tropical flora, parks and gardens. We visited Singapore Botanic Gardens while there and was mesmerized by the beauty of all the orchids. Singapore is also well known for their Changi Airport, which we had the […]

Siem Reap, Cambodia

What? Siem Reap is the gateway to the stunning UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor. It is also a resort town filled with tuk tuks and delicious food. We heard through the grapevine about “Happy Pizza” and took on the challenge to locate some when we got there. We were successful in finding it, but […]

Ubud, Indonesia

What? We wanted to spend a couple of nights in Ubud so that we can visit this beautiful and spiritual town where there are temples and rice paddies for days. We had a wonderful time in this town and will always have the fondest memories of it. Where? Ubud is a town on the Indonesian […]

Gili Trawangan, Indonesia

What? This place was our favorite spot in Indonesia because of the beach and its laid back environment. Gili T does not allow any motorized vehicles, which gives the island a chill and quiet atmosphere. This town has a balanced feel to it- half of the island houses most of the restaurants, street food, bars and […]

Kuta, Bali, Indonesia

What? Kuta is an interesting town in Bali. It’s very touristy and our impression was that there was widespread homophobia there. However, surfing is great here for those who are learning and there were a lot of beautiful women visiting from out of town. Where? Kuta is a beach and resort area in the south of the […]

Jimbaran, Bali, Indonesia

What? We visited Jimbaran for the seafood and sunset, and it boy was it worth it! We spent about 5 hours there on the beach having seafood and beer while watching the beautiful sunset. When we got to the restaurant (we went with Menega Cafe), we picked out which seafood we wanted and how we’d like for […]

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

What? Kuala Lumpur is home to some of the best street food that we’ve ever tasted. Grilled BBQ stingray is where it’s at – not to be missed while you are here. This was also the place where we had our first bite of J.Co donuts (amazing!). Where? Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia. How? We […]

Mua Cave – Ninh Binh, Vietnam

What? Mua cave (a.k.a Hang Mua) is a place where you can see a spectacular 360 view of Ninh Bihn and to reach the top you must climb 500 steps. It is quite a bit of a trek, the stairs steepens as you reach closer to the top, but the struggle  is worth seeing the […]

Tam Cốc – Bích Động, Vietnam

What? On our way to Ha Long Bay, we made a stop at Ninh Binh and had to make a stop at Tam Cốc. Our friend wanted to take us to see the caves. There were 5 of us on a boat and one single Vietnamese lady that rowed us. She was a very strong […]

Bái Đính Temple – Ninh Bình, Vietnam

What? Bái Đính Temple or Bái Đính Temple Spiritual and Cultural Complex is a complex of Buddhist temples. Bái Đính Pagoda is the largest temple in Vietnam. We spent about 2 hours roaming around and viewing all the buddha statues that were mostly shiny around the knees, belly and heads because many people believe that […]
