Where To Next: Malaysia and Thailand!
This Wednesday, I’m off to Malaysia and Thailand in SE Asia! The purpose of the trip is to attend a travel creators conference called TBEX Asia (Travel Blog Exchange: Asia edition) which will take place in Phuket, Thailand from November 15th to November 18th, 2022.
I went to SE Asia in 2013, however, I skipped over going to Malaysia; so I decided a while back during my planning for this trip to Thailand that I would do what I could to visit this country I missed out on seeing all those years ago. I’ve been to Thailand twice already, but I know very little about Malaysia and I am excited to learn all I can over the few days that I’m there.

Journey To Hong Kong: Part I
[mappress mapid=”17″]
The journey to Hong Kong has begun. I started my journey by meeting Evan, Claire, and their beautiful baby, Luna, at Caper’s Café in the Portland Airport (PDX) for breakfast, complimentary of the Priority Pass Select I received by signing up for the American Express Platinum card.
After breakfast and spending some time playing with Luna, we sent our separate ways: them making the long trek to Ethiopia to visit our friends Kyle and Beckie who moved there last November, and me, headed to San Francisco for the day before making the 14+ hour flight to Hong Kong.

Hello. I’m in Australia: Memento Style
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo…good news. For Christmas, I finally got my computer charged again, so I can actually make posts with a keyboard rather than using my phone, camera, uhhhh…mobile device. My parents sent over a new charger that Microsoft sent to their house. It cost a lot, but I also got my watch replaced (it wasn’t elephant wrestling proof so it went down the Mekong river) so that was also in the box.
Now that I have my computer again and can make real posts, guess I don’t have an excuse not to update this site once again. Sorry for taking so long! (more…)

Getting To and Suiting Up In Hoi An
I left Hue on the back of a motorbike down to Hoi An. The ride was awesome. Stopped at a number of spots on the way that I never knew about, saw a lot of torn down trees in Danang, and got a couple new suits and had a good time with friends along the way in Hoi An. (more…)

I arrived in Hanoi a few days ago, and I’ve already had a whirlwind of an adventure.

I’ve spent a few nights in Hanoi, one night on a boat, and one night on Cat Ba Island. Now, I’m off to Hue, Vietnam. Before I go, let me tell you about my adventure so far.
