You know those times you decide to visit a place with rather low expectations only to discover it’s actually flippin’ fantastic? Brazil’s Parque das Aves was totally one of those for me and Justin. This 12-acre sanctuary just across the road from the famous Iguazu Falls National Park boasts over 150 species of bird life…which is cool. […]
When Hillary and I decided to come to Beijing, we knew we were going to be visiting the Great Wall of China. (How could we not?) But if we’re being totally honest…I didn’t really “get” the attraction of…the attraction. Sure, I knew a bit of the history. I knew the Great Wall of China was (and remains) an […]
“How do you get the monkeys to come up to you?” Hillary and I had left the coastal towns of Bali in Indonesia to stay in Ubud at a private garden bungalow in the interior of the island. Ubud was made famous by the the book-turned-movie, Eat, Pray, Love. But, many people have known that Ubud […]

As we look forward to what 2016 has in store for us, we’ve also been reflecting on the highlights of 2015. […]
Sitting just 6 miles (10 km) north of Kuta–Bali’s biggest beachside tourism town, the hippy, happy village of Canggu and its gorgeous coastal environs are still largely undiscovered by Bali visitors. We’ll be talking more about Canggu in other posts about our time in Bali, but for now, we thought we’d let the photos do the talking about […]
