Sukhothai: The Golden Age of Thailand

We’ll admit, when you see ancient temples nearly every day for nine months you can get a little bleary-eyed and jaded…but our visit to Sukhothai was anything but an ordinary stop in Southeast Asia.

The Back Roads & Warm Hearts of Thailand

Sometimes the biggest snafus turn out to be the best experiences and our botched road trip from Chiang Mai to Pai, Thailand is at the top of that list.

Best Travel Stories from 4,000 Days Around the World

Traveling every day since January 2102, we’ve gained a treasure trove of memories. We’ve seen the sunrise over 20,000-foot peaks, walked the streets of ancient civilizations, and met hundreds of people we now call friends.

We love fall for the foliage it brings, but even in places that don’t get the classic autumn colors, traveling from September-November brings tons of other benefits: lower prices, fewer crowds, pleasant temperatures, and more.
