Driving to Chiang Rai from Loei with stops in between: April 21-April 23, 2019 Chiang Rai is one of my favorite places in Thailand. There is so much to do, from waterfalls to elephants.

Loei April 19-April 21, 2019 Loei was the biggest surprise this trip! Its a city I had never heard of before. Chris had never been there or heard of it either. When I was researching things to do in the Isaan Loei kept popping up. It was definitely high up on my list of places … [Read more…]

Thailand is great, but getting there is kind of rough! For us we went to two other countries before we even made it to Thailand! We saved about $200 a ticket by flying out of Vancouver Canada, which is about 2 hours away from our home. It was definitely worth it for us to fly … [Read more…]

Chris and I travel very similarly to each other, but probably fairly different from a lot of people. We are busy and like to go go go. We don’t necessarily want to over do it, but we do want to do a lot! We also aren’t really beach people. Although we do enjoy the water … [Read more…]
We recently took an epic family trip to Thailand! I love traveling/going on adventures and I loved doing it with my family as I was growing up. I lived in China for about a year (6 months once, then 4 months the second time) and since then I was hooked on traveling. I don’t really … [Read more…]
