When my time in Southeast Asia was over, I boarded a plane back to Germany for a much needed two week break in my round the world trip. I spent those two weeks mostly relaxing and spending time with Andy. We went to the Christmas markets where we enjoyed funnel cakes, glüwein, and something that [...]

Today I am leaving to continue my trip after a much needed two week break. Since I booked a round the world ticket, and the next flight is Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon to Melbourne, I have to get back to Vietnam. So I’m in for a very long journey. My flight from Frankfurt takes off [...]

Since I do so much traveling with my friend Amanda, and she will be with me for two different parts of my round the world trip, I thought I’d let everyone get to know her a little better. Amanda and I met in the summer of 2000 when we were roommates on our study abroad trip [...]

Andy and I got married this past Sunday, June 5th about an hour outside of Atlanta! Our families and friends came in from all over the country to celebrate with us on a swelteringly hot, sunny day. It was lots of fun but, like everyone warned me, it was all over way too quickly. Many thanks to [...]

First I want to apologize for not posting anything on my blog in so long. I hit a wall a few months ago, and I had a hard time writing because I couldn’t write about the things I really wanted to. I still needed to keep them secret. But I’m finally ready to spill. A [...]

Friday night I had some pizza and a couple drinks with friends. But these weren’t work friends or friends from college or high school, they were friends I met through Twitter due to our shared passion for travel. It was one of a dozen tweet-ups we’ve had with our Atlanta Travel Tweet-up group, and the [...]

When I signed up for Twitter, I thought it would be a good way to meet other travelers and travel bloggers. I talked to really fun and interesting people, learned about parts of the travel world I never knew existed, and improved my writing. What I never could’ve expected was how Twitter would change my life.  [...]

I was really trying to write some great Christmas post, something witty about what I did for the holiday, comparing boats to sleighs and lizards to reindeer, but it’s just not happening that way. And do you really care to read 500 words about my Christmas vacation, especially considering how uneventful it was? In case [...]
