Vietnam – Our Cat Ba Island Adventures
The final part of our Vietnam trip took us to the coast and to Cat Ba Island. Cat Ba is on the southern edge of the famous Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay share the same unique limestone karsts that make a maze of islands in the bay and […]
Vietnam – Phong Nha Farmstay and Hang Tien Cave Trek
If you’re following along for our Vietnam adventures you know that we were using Hanoi as a home base of sorts and our goal for the trip was trying to see some of the awesome natural attractions Vietnam has to offer. You can read about our days in Hanoi here – Vietnam A Few Days in […]
Vietnam – A Few Days in Hanoi
During our trip to Vietnam we only ended up staying a few days in Hanoi, using it as our home base of sorts between trips to other parts of the country. Since we only had a short holiday in Vietnam and really wanted to spend some time outdoors experiencing the unique things Vietnam has to […]
Moscow Airport
A couple of snaps from inside the now famous International Transit Zone inside the Moscow Airport. Burger King serves beer, how could I resist?
Swimming with the Whale Sharks – Oslob, Philippines
This was probably number one on the to do list for our visit to the Philippines (Who am I kidding, this was definitely on the very top of Shani’s list!). It was our first destination and we would have stayed longer but there are just so many incredible places to visit and our time was […]
10 Days in the Philippines
10 days is just not enough time! There are 7000 islands to explore and with the limited amount of time we had we could barely scratch the surface. We flew into Manila and then straight to Cebu to begin our adventure. We went from Abu Dhabi on an over night flight (we got a cheap […]
Overland from Kathmandu to Lhasa and Back
There is a long story about how I ended up in Nepal for two weeks waiting for Shani and the start of our Tibet trip but the short version is that my Saudi Escort Visa ran out and I needed someplace to be. Yes I was officially an escort so I’ve always got that going for […]
Tibet Trip Gallery
Such an amazing trip! We went overland from Kathmandu to Lhasa and then back. Well almost overland. Rains caused a flood that wiped out a village and the road from the Tibet border to Kathmandu. Our options were an impromptu trek or a helicopter ride. We opted for the lift over the devastation rather than […]
Kathmandu, Nepal
Before heading into Tibet, I spent 2 weeks in Nepal. Shani flew in a few days before we took off and we had some time to explore while our visa was getting processed. Kathmandu has changed a lot in the 12 years since she was last here. If her memory is correct, there is a […]
One Day in Hong Kong
We took the long way to Saudi Arabia from California via Hong Kong. We figured a long layover and a day around town would probably be a good adventure and our last opportunity to see the sea and some green before the sands of KSA. It’s really easy to hop the train and do a […]
