we should probably come up with a proper tagline soon
If you head south to Canngu while in Bali go with the intention to eat and be lazy. It is the perfect hub for partiers and digital nomads. Strange mix but it offers things that both need. Cheap places to stay, the beach and Instagram-able cafes. I had spent a week sight seeing and doing…
My favorite thing to do when I get to a city is eat. And eat some more and just when you think I am done, keep eating. This is why food tours are so good to me. It allows me to do this with no judgement.
In my efforts to push myself and see different parts of the places I visited I signed up for a press trip to Banaue and Sagada. Rice terraces and hanging coffins. Sounded tough but doable. Maybe I’ll start doing the ones that just involve lying on beaches,
Manila is a crowed, busy city. It is dirty and energetic. It is poor and rich. It is old and it is brand spanking new. It is a contradiction with in itself. I enjoyed every minute I spent there. There are so many things to do in this city. Here is a list of my…
My first introduction to Z Hostel Manila was not as a guest to the rooms but a guest to the roof top bar. I had been in Manila for two nights when the owner graciously hosted an unofficial opening night party for us bloggers.

Press trips can be really exhausting. It is lots of being ushered around to jam in as much as possible in a short time. Never the less I was excited to be going on my first official one. Even if I wasn’t all too sure where I was headed or what I would be doing.
Who doesn’t love getting a massage? I almost never get them when I am home because they are expensive. Not wanting to miss a chance I signed up for two different ones when choosing excursions for TBEX. It was great to see two totally different kinds of Thai massage experiences.
Bangkok is a really big city. The traffic can make it feel even bigger. Exploring a district can be daunting at times. The areas can be so crowded and it can become exhausting. When I signed up for bar hopping in the Ratchaprosong district I was afraid of what it would be like to get…
Rarely do I get to stay at really nice places. It just is not in my travel budget. Since I generally travel quite a few times a year I try to watch what I spend and make the most of my dollar. I was ecstatic when TBEX offered complimentary hotel stay all over Thailand after…
