The Togean Islands are a small group of islands between Central and North Sulawesi, in northern Indonesia. There really is no easy way to get there but if you’re looking for a remote destination and unmatched beauty, these islands are ideal. Nick and I and our friends, Matt, Sam and Rey spent two weeks exploring … More Togean Islands
We came to Flores on a recommendation from friends who said the diving was some of the best in the world. Nick and I will never turn down an opportunity to dive so we made sure to pencil in at least a week of exploring on the Island. Per usual, we didn’t have a clue … More Flores: Land of the Dragons
Indonesia was ideal for an adult “summer vacation” on a trip around the world. Pristine beaches, great diving and breathtaking landscapes were small pieces of what each island had to offer. The country boasts 17,000 islands, 6,000 of which are inhabited and throughout our 3 months of travel there, we stopped in Bali numerous times. … More Bali
Our trip to Cambodia was relatively quick in comparison to our time spent in other countries, but we only had two things in mind for our time there-Angkor Wat and a beautiful beach. After visiting Siem Reap made our way south to the Cambodian Islands, Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem. Cambodia is becoming more … More Cambodian Paradise
We arrived in Siem Reap after a grueling 24 hour bus ride from Vientiane (one we wouldn’t recommend) and had two weeks to spend in Cambodia in mid-March, arguably the hottest time of year. The town itself is merely a jumping off point for the ancient city and doesn’t provide the cultural experience most are … More Angkor Wat
The 2 day Mekong River Cruise through Laos was one of our favorite travel experiences through Southeast Asia. We left Thailand to travel up to Laos and following the Gibbon Experience we spent two days on a slow boat traveling down river. If you plan to visit Luang Prabang (which we highly suggest), you should … More The Mekong River Cruise
Myanmar opened its borders for travel in 2012 with the adoption of democratic elections and movement away from military rule. With the globalization in all of Southeast Asia, we expect to see rapid changes in the next ten years and a booming tourist industry. It was necessary for me to visit as soon as possible … More Myanmar (Burma)
Luang Prabang was our favorite city in Laos. It is a French colonial town and UNESCO World Heritage Site sitting on the bank of the Mekong River. We arrived in the afternoon after our 2 day slow boat ride with enough time to wander around and find a cute guesthouse just off the main road … More Luang Prabang
Vientiane is a small capital city in Southeast Asia with nowhere near the same excitement as Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh. Travelers will typically be stopping in Vientiane while on their way to another city in Laos or applying for visas, and if you find yourself here we wouldn’t recommend more than 1-2 nights. There … More Vientiane: Laos’ Tiny Capital
When we arrived in Southeast Asia, we knew that Laos was on our list of countries to visit but we knew little about it. All I had heard previously was “this is the place to get drunk and go tubing” but that didn’t sound appealing, so what else? We shared a taxi in Nepal with … More The Gibbon Experience
