4Runner Roadtrip – A Race Across Turkey and a Holiday in Greece
With our time in Georgia finishing up and our doctors appointments set in Turkey, we reluctantly left our sea side town. We were quite curious to see the Black Sea from the Turkey coast line. Our plan was to spend a few weeks, maybe more going across the top of Turkey and finishing our loop […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Turkey Part 3
After leaving the Rain Hotel we had just a short amount of coast and then we were headed inland and north into Eastern Turkey. It was this section of our trip that things took a noticeable turn towards social conservativism. The majority of the women we saw were dressed much more modestly and the price […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Turkey Part 2
After leaving Fethiye we were headed to Kaş. Kaş is another costal town that we were quite looking forward to visiting. It had a reputation of being quiet and much smaller than Fethiye but with a good expat population, something we were interested in checking out as you never know where you might want to […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Turkey Part 1
Our first stop in Turkey was a little town called Eceabat, just across from Çanakkale on the Dardanelles Strait. It’s a gateway to the Gallipoli WWI battlefields and they have several monuments in the little town. Our hotel was just a short walk into the little town and we spent a bit of time looking […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Sardinia to Turkey
After almost 6 months living on Sardinia we were ready to head out on our big Caucuses adventure. Shani had successfully navigated the Italian citizenship system and had a freshly minted Italian passport and ID card. None of which would have been possible without the help of our new friends Nicola and our landlady Piera. […]
Taiwan – A Video
We’re still getting the hang of shooting and editing videos from our adventures but I’d like to think we’re learning as we go along. That being said, here is a video recap of our trip to Taiwan. The videos were shot with the GoPro Hero4, my Asus phone and our Canon point and shoot digital […]
Taiwan – Sun Moon Lake
Our third destination in Taiwan was Sun Moon Lake. The lake is the largest body of water in Taiwan as well as a very popular local tourist attraction and it looked like an ideal place for us to spend a few days walking and riding bikes around the lake. First, however, we needed to get […]
Taiwan – Hualien and Taroko National Park
The second part of our adventure in Taiwan was a trip down to Hualien to visit Taroko National Park. As I mentioned in our Taipei post, we were staying very close to the Taipei Main Station but really any part of central Taipei gets to the station pretty quickly on the metro. There are several […]
Taiwan – A Few Days in Taipei
We finalized our trip to Taiwan about a week before we went which didn’t leave a ton of time for planning an itinerary. Usually Shani takes care of that, she loves trip planning! This time, however, she just didn’t have time to really look into things as she is working long hours and has a […]
Videos from Vietnam
A while back we picked up a GoPro for our trip to the Philippines. We knew we were going to be swimming with the whale sharks and a GoPro made sense. You can read about that by clicking here – swimming with the whale sharks. Since then the GoPro has mostly sat in a drawer. Well […]
