A few months ago, we hit a major birthday milestone. We decided that before leaving Asia, we had to have a major blowout. Being the travel nerds that we are, we immediately decided on a trip to the Philippines. And a trip to the Philippines, must…MUST include a visit to the famous Puerto Princesa Subterranean […]

After moving to Korea, we had a number of opportunities to travel throughout Asia. It was an amazing, but sometimes complicated ride. For anyone planning on traveling while living/working in Korea, we’ve put together a quick rundown of the visas we were required to have and how we went about getting them. Alphabetical order. Keep […]

We arrived in Taipei yesterday afternoon after a very brief flight with Asiana. We booked through Eva Air, but it was a code share with Asiana. They were excellent as usual. Anyway, once we arrived we took a bus from the airport to our hotel (both of which we’ll talk about in a later post) […]

It’s a time to honor Korean ancestors and most families go to their parent’s (usually the father or head of the household) hometowns. There they eat traditional Korean rice cakes called […]

Can you believe? Just days ago we were wearing coats! This was actually our second time at the beach. We went the second day we got here, but we didn’t go into the water. Catherine’s friend Vicki was having a party at her place, and she lives really close to the beach (Stanwell Park), so […]

On our way! We started our trip to Australia directly after school on Thursday. We had booked a night at a hostel in Seoul called the Big Tree Guesthouse, so we headed out of Daegu at around 5p.m. We took the Mugungwha train, which is much slower than the KTX high speed train, but still […]
