The overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai took about 14 hours, and was much more comfortable that we'd anticipated. The trains are pretty old, I'd guess from the 50's, and haven't really been updated since then. Carrie: The aisles are narrow, ... Read more >

VARANASI AND THE HOLY GANGES are on every visitor’s short list. At its best, Varanasi is a photographer’s dream; there is something (or someone) colorful and interesting around every corner. At its worst, the city is loud, dirty ... Read more >

The final destination of my overland truck was Victoria Falls, which is on the borders of three countries, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana, and our truck spent the weekend on the Zimbabwe side. Zimbabwe has a reputation as being one of the basket ... Read more >

Day 2 in Iguazu and I’m finally going to see the falls!
Rated in ANY guidebook as one of the top 10 waterfalls in the world and formerly

Having recovered sufficiently from my ear infection, I'm ready to leave Chiang Mai and head to Udon Thani as the first stop of a tour of North-Eastern Thailand. My options are to do a 24 hour train trip via Bangkok or a 8 hour bus ride. The train ride ... Read more >
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | Sat, 9 Jun 2012 | By kiwiaoraki | Views [1751]
No alarm clock! This morning I awoke fearing I was late for class but it turned out I awoke just in time. Breakfast was a simple Dominican fare: rice, salami, eggs, and fruit. Easy enough it was to wash down with a cup of coffee before we were set ... Read more >

The Taj Mahal is a monument I did not even try to conjure up how would look in person. Similar to before I saw Machu Picchu, I knew what to expect but I also did not. You never know how a monumental piece from history will deliver in peron; on a visual ... Read more >

Waking up to the sound of an alarm this morning was somewhat foreign. It's been a few weeks of just rolling out of bed whenever I please, but today was different! At 6am I launched myself out of bed, ate my newly discovered super granola (YUMMM!) and ... Read more >

The weather has been great all weekend in Sydney. There’s been consistent sunny weather, not like Melbourne where the weather changes drastically from cold to hot to rainy...all one day. On Saturday, I hung out with Viv, her husband Andrew and their ... Read more >
GERMANY | Sat, 30 Nov 2013 | By vagabondstoo | Views [1005]
We could scarcely hear anyone speaking German among the crowd at Nuremburg’s Christmas fair. Of course this was the day after Thanksgiving, just another day at work for the locals but a holiday for US servicemen and their families taking ... Read more >

Baseball, that most American of games, is one of our homecoming rituals; a way to touch base (pun intended) and reassure ourselves that we are home. Not that Texas is home. Nor is the US, now that I think about it. And we are told that ... Read more >

Camden triggers those in the know to ask about Amy Winehouse and whether or not I saw her. It's the ultimate stop for all your alternative and tattoo desires. However, tucked away neatly in Camden Lock is a plethora of market stalls with some very funky ... Read more >
