The final wrap up from our time in the land of smiles! After 3-months of travel, we finally made it to our first SE Asia country and it was about time. We were growing tired of living on a backpacker’s budget. It was time to splurge a little for luxury in the land of smiles… Read more…
List of places we’ve stayed in Thailand. Pros and con and more. We decided to start a new series on all the places we’ve stayed and whether we’d recommend it.. starting with Thailand.

The best Thai food from our trip. And we cooked it ourselves! We decided to check off one of my long awaited bucket list wish and, at the same time, tackle one of Gerard’s life’s greatest challenges – cooking. It’s not that he can’t cook.
