To us Korea is not just a travel destination, but also our home. We have been dreaming of meeting up with family, friends and eating all that delicious Korean food. Our plan is to stay in Korea for 6 weeks, the longest of any country. Spend some time with Hyein’s parents to make sure they […]

Chiang Mai – How to Elephant in Thailand
Since Chiang Mai is in the North of Thailand, right by Myanmar and Laos, we naively thought that the weather situation would improve and we would get a bit of a break from the heat. We were wrong yet again. It’s even hotter than Bangkok…wait is that even possible or do the tires just melt […]
Thailand – Outsider’s Guide to Songkran
Man, are we behind on our posts or what? I’m sorry if the quality of the posts has gone down…actually i’m not. First of all, not much to go down from and second, we have been too busy having way too much fun in Seoul. Okay, so we left off on the last post looking […]
Koh Samui – How to Island Hop in Thailand
We got lucky and arrived in Thailand during the University’s spring break. So Suin and her friends had already plan a little trip south to visit Koh Samui and of course try some delicious southern Thai food. My first reaction was to take a bus, then i was reminded of the prices in Thailand and […]
Thailand – Bangkok Insider’s Guide
And we are back to a “developing” county. I heard somewhere that there are really no more “3rd world” countries left in the world. And the better way of describing a country is either as “developed” or “developing”. For example, Singapore is definitely developed and New York has been down graded to “developing”. We will […]
Singapore – Reverse Culture Shock

And just to be thorough decided to check out Singapore Airlines, we have a bit of history and loyalty with them. The first time i flew to Seoul to visit Hyein, was a spur of the […]
Expense Report – Central and South America
I know that everyone wants to know, how we are able to afford this trip and how much it costs. When planning for the world tour, i needed this information for myself. So before we left we decided to record our spending. We tracked every single purchase that we made on our trip through Central […]
Ushuaia – End of the World
Before we get all emotional about reaching the southern most point on our journey. Lets look at the name of this symbolic town more closely – “Ushuaia”. I had to look at the photo below just to make sure I didn’t make a spelling mistake. It has more vowels than a word should, its like […]
New Year, New Hemisphere – Ecuador
I started with a picture on purpose…look at these gas prices!!! Thats US dollars btw. I know, i know its almost the same in the states. But when we were leaving it was at $3.50/gal in San Diego. Since no one wants to fill up with the “expensive” Colombian gas, there are lines at the […]
Food and the city (Mexican style)
I’m beginning to realize how good we have it back home. 400 miles in a day doesn’t seem like a marathon that leaves you unable to move or think. But here…it is exactly that. We made it to Mexico city on a Friday night, right around rush hour. For anyone who needs to strengthen their […]
