I Found Paradise in Nong Khiaw, Laos

beautiful view of the Nam Ou River

After an hour of waiting and being confused by Laos' public transportation, three hours of hot and bumpy ride, we made it to Nong Khiaw (Northern Laos). This quiet little town with the Nam Ou river at the middle, is a good and wonderful break from the touristy North Thailand and Luang Prabang. The kind of place and travel I like, and love even.

Travel Love : Lessons and Realizations from the Big Trip

Annapurna Sanctuary Trek, Nepal

Almost three months of traveling in six countries. Some were short stays,others were long. But all these countries have offered me so many adventures and unique experiences. But more than anything, the Big Trip had taught me so many important lessons and realizations that somehow changed and bettered my views of how I want to live my life, how I look at the world, race, faith, and religion, and made me realize how amazing the Creator is.

A Beautiful Ending in Vietnam

Sunset, Mui Ne, Vietnam

Five days in Vietnam with a Nepal hangover – reminiscing about those great mountains, amazing landscapes, warm people, and great friends I made throughout the whole journey. Five days of thinking about going home – anticipating and getting anxious over what’s going to be my life next year. 

And then there was that taxi ride, after two transfers to go to the sleeper bus from Hanoi to Hue. Confused, I asked you “Are you also going to Hue?”
