I’m all set to fly to Crete, Greece in July, but finding a place to stay the night I arrive is proving to be more challenging than I initially anticipated. So far, the AirBnB options are limited and Hostelworld is not showing much within my budget. Normally I’d just scout out the villages myself, I seem to always have the best luck finding places by … Continue reading AirBnB Alternatives

(This post is coming a bit late in my travels as I am now in Greece, but here it is just the same. Enjoy!) Bali oh me oh my, dear Bali. Well, you’ve definitely got it all– drunk Aussies stumbling through Kuta, Rupia millionaire ex-pats living it up in Seminyak, vegan yoga junkies getting their fix in Ubud, master divers in search of shipwrecks, bright … Continue reading Bali Briefing: A Month in Paradise

(I took the second class … Continue reading Border Runs from Thailand to Myanmar
Dear Mae Sai you’ve been a hard pill to swallow. Downward gazes and inside jokes, farng, farang. Little pointing fingers followed by a wave of giggles as my floor-length dress with the slit down the side blows wild in the breeze, trying to contain my runaway drapery, maintain modesty in a border town where summer dresses don’t fly, you’re not in the islands anymore dear … Continue reading Border Town Blues
