Bangkok

Bangkok was our 1st journey to Asia, and we fell in love instantly. It's hard not to be captivated by the locals' hospitality, the amazing cuisine, and, of course, our favorite spot—The Weekend Market. Not to mention the rich cultural experience of the floating markets left us craving more of Thailand's delights.

Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai has such a cool vibe. Being a coffee lover, I was thrilled with the tons of coffee shops—it's no wonder it's the coffee capital of Thailand. Temples are everywhere, each with its own special character. We had some real adventures, from stick falls to mountain ziplining. One memory that'll stay close to our hearts is sharing dinner with a lovely Thai family.

Phuket

Phuket's beauty is something really special. Experiencing a sunset sail from Hong Islands is a must—there's just something magical about it. And let's talk sea cave kayaking; it's hands down the most unique experience we’ve ever had. Here, you get the best of both worlds—relax during the day and the party vibes of Bangla Road at night.

Da Nang

Da Nang was our unexpected crush! It's a perfect blend of city and beach life, aligning perfectly with our vacation style. From cruising down the Han River to heart-racing cable cars up to Ba Na Hills, the city kept us engaged. Here is where we fully immersed ourselves in their coffee scene, trying it every way possible. We have to mention the abundance of seafood at prices our pockets loved. The stars aligned for us as we ended up in the city of Hoi An, allowing us to experience the Full Moon Festival.

Singapore

Singapore, with its pristine streets and meticulously maintained spaces, definitely left an impression on us. It has a futuristic feel that left us very intrigued, and wanting to come back and see more. Exploring the hawker centers revealed a diverse culinary landscape, offering an abundance of food choices. I think we developed an addiction to sugarcane juice.

Bali

Stepping onto the shores of Bali, the tranquil energy effortlessly invites you to unwind—a comforting embrace you didn't realize you yearned for. What lingers most in our memories are the genuine warmth of its people and the vibrant tapestry of culture woven into every detail of their life. A highlight was waterfall hopping, each cascade a testament to Bali's natural beauty.

Cebu

Cebu sits at the top of our most adventurous vacations. From the exhilarating experience of swimming with whale sharks to the heart-pounding thrill of canyoneering and the breathtaking beauty of Kawasan Falls, every moment was nothing short of epic. The warm embrace of Filipino kids running up to us in the streets, filled with joy, created unforgettable memories. Our hearts are set on returning, eager to explore more of the Philippines.

Dubai

Dubai is undoubtedly synonymous with next-level luxury. The glittering skyline, iconic landmarks, and lavish malls left us in awe. Venturing into the heart of where locals live, we uncovered cultural gems in neighborhoods like Al Fahidi and Al Bastakiya, where we savored the best meals, including the unique experience of trying a camel burger and sampling camel's milk. A few highlights for us were the beach with Dubai's skyline along with exploring the vibrant spice and gold souks.

Cairo

A captivating blend of ancient wonders and vibrant modern experiences, it was a must for hubby who is a history buff and proved to be an awe-inspiring experience. The grandeur of the historical sites, such as the pyramids and ancient wonders, left us mesmerized. The museum captivated us with its rich collection and gave us a taste of Egypt's fascinating history. We zipped through the dunes on ATVs, feeling the thrill of the desert winds. We loved wandering through the bazaars, uncovering unique treasures and shopping til we dropped.

Jamaica

Jamaica is our home away from home and holds a special place in our hearts, as it was our first vacation together. While I'm an island girl from St. Croix, hubby hails from Philly and has collected enough Jamaica stamps in his passport to be considered an honorary Yardie. We’ve been to Jamaica so many times and always leave wanting more. More jerk chicken, more people and irie vybz… Yah mon!
