It’s no secret that the single most important thing in Tawny and my life is coffee. That might be an exaggeration, but I’m unwilling to discuss it until after my Starbucks run. A lot of people ask us if we’ve ever encountered hardships while traveling. They ask us if being in Thailand during the Red Shirt protests was difficult, or […]
With Valentine’s day upon us we wanted to write a post that would inspire love and affection. After trying and failing multiple times, we decided to leave it in the hands of our fellow colleagues and bloggers. We asked some of our favorite traveling couples to weigh in on the most romantic destinations that they’ve been to. Breckenridge, Colorado. (by […]
South Korea will always hold a special place in our hearts. The two years that we spent making Korea our home were some of the greatest. We loved meeting and hanging out with our new Korean friends and spent a good amount of time getting to know each other over countless bottles of soju. We made a lot of rookie […]
Alright. Alright. It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here. The Captain’s K-POP TEN. As most of you already know, my mister (aka Chris) has excellent taste in women. However, you might be unaware of his quest for pop perfection. If you want to catch a glimpse of the past pop princess prospects you can take a look […]
In this post we’re going to talk about the iconic Korean love motels. These cheap and ubiquitous motels are pretty iconic in South Korea. Some of these motels have themes, while some have round Hugh Hefner beds, and most have walls of porn. These love motels are a great (albeit, sticky) option for foreigners who want a cheap place to […]
Why yes, we are suckers for blogosphere relays- especially when prizes and our egos are at stake. Low Cost Holidays is asking bloggers to write a post about their top three travel memories. Not wanting to conform completely, we decided to write about some of our most awkward, albeit memorable, experiences from our travels. A big thanks to DJ, from […]
Chris and I recently came across a slew of videos that we made while living in South Korea. Some of them were great, some were horrendous. You can tell in most of the footage that we were still trying to figure out how to shoot, edit, and make our videos interesting. Our style has evolved since then, but we’re still […]
It’s no secret that Chris and I are very intrepid souls. We like to push ourselves out of our comfort zones and try things that we have never done before. We are big fans of trying everything at least once. We have bungee jumped, swam with sharks, received magical tattoos from a monk in Thailand, the list goes on. We […]
Don’t. When the time came to take Ares, our 13 lb. mountain lion-infused Korean persian home to America, I felt prepared. At 3 am I loaded all my worldly possessions into a bus bound for Seoul, 6 hours away. In my hand I had Ares, neatly packed into his airline approved hard carrier. I was calm. I stowed my luggage […]
One of the best purchases we made while living in South Korea was our motorcycle. It was actually my 24th birthday gift from Chris. For a whopping 500,000 won (roughly $450 USD) we were able to purchase our sweet ride from a fellow ex-pat and have free reign of our new home. Chris stumbled upon this old video that we […]
