Arrival in Thailand: Bangkok
This huge city is the travel and economic hub for all of Southeast Asia. And it’s WAY bigger than we expected it to be. There’s so much to do in Bangkok that we will definitely have to come back to experience the rest. Arrival in Thailand We flew to Thailand and went through multiple steps…
Last Stop in Sri Lanka: Colombo
Bustling streets, delicious street food, and a rooftop pool. Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, was our last destination before leaving and it really surprised us. We had heard some crazy things about Colombo, like that it was a mini New Delhi, a busy chaotic smelly city. However, upon arrival, it seemed like any regular…
Exploring Sri Lanka’s South Coast
The southern coast is very popular and draws MANY tourists for its stunning beaches, happening surf scene, and nightlife (although this last one doesn’t really apply to us who are in bed before 10 pm). During our 2 months in Sri Lanka, we visited the southern coast, exploring 4 different towns altogether. This might sound…
Exploring Ella
A mountain villa, charming tourist town, and days of adventure. Ella was our next destination in Sri Lanka. We finished part 2 of one of the prettiest train rides in the world on our way to the town of Ella. The entire train ride from Kandy to Ella can be 7-8 hours, which is why we…

Retreat to the Jungle
Morning yoga, a trek to a waterfall, and a cooking class with locals. Can it get any better? Alright, not going to lie, we are skipping some of our trip. We spent a few days in Kandy, and besides the food, we didn’t really enjoy ourselves. We even spent a whole day in the hotel…
Sigiriya By Scooter
Our exciting adventure did not slow down after our first two days in Sri Lanka. During our time in Sigiriya, we rented a scooter to explore the area and took a day trip to Polonnaruwa. We watched the sunset from an amazing viewpoint and met who is probably the sweetest woman in Sri Lanka. This…
Our First 48 Hours in Sri Lanka
A 10-hour bus ride to the capital, 5-hour flight to Qatar, 10.5-hour layover, 5-hour flight to Sri Lanka, and a tear-filled landing (of joy, we promise) New Year, New Country We landed in Sri Lanka a few days ago and honestly it felt like a dream. Mainly, because this has been our dream. 2 years…
Christmas in Croatia
Sretan Božić! (Merry Christmas). We spent this Christmas with our workaway family and our new friends in Croatia! The plans have changed for our holiday abroad more times than we can count. We had no clue where we would be, even just a few weeks before. After we spent our first week here at our…
