Trekking in Myanmar is becoming quite a popular way to see the rural parts of the country. It is definitely a wonderful, interesting, and eye opening experience. If you like hiking and the outdoors it is an awesome thing to do on your trip. You will hike through the mountains and countryside, from town to town with a guide who…
Car camping might be one of my favorite kinds of trips. It’s an easy and accessible way to get out into nature and to get out of town. Some of my favorite trips have been car camping in Yosemite, Zion, and Sequoia National Parks. But you can car camp in campgrounds all over the US as well as any national…
The ancient city of Bagan is located pretty much in the center of Myanmar along the Irrawaddy river. During the 11th to 13th centuries over 10,000 temples, pagodas, and monasteries were built in the plains, of those about 2,2000 still stand today. The old city is now an archaeological zone and an amazing place to explore. We got into New…
I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of a beginner at solo travel. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve traveled quite a bit, but I haven’t done a ton of solo travel. I always end up taking trips with friends, family, or my boyfriend Rob. But last February I took a road trip by myself, to sort of recenter myself. And…
Going to the coast of Myanmar was one of the coolest things we did there. If you have read the first part of our beach adventure you should definitely go check it out. After spending a couple days hanging around the little resort town of Ngwe Saung we ventured up the coast via motorbike taxi for a little change of…
It was a sunny afternoon in Yangon Myanmar when we decided we should head for the coast. My boyfriend Rob, my friend Lauren, and I went to the front desk of our hostel and asked if we could purchase bus tickets for the next morning to go to the beach. Where would you like to go, he asked. It didn’t…
I turned thirty this past weekend in Yosemite. Thirty is kind of a big birthday, and while some people may mourn the end of their twenties I am welcoming thirty with open arms. I feel like I spent the entire decade of my twenties in a cycle of trial and error. Not that I regret any of those trials or…
If you are looking for adventure and to explore someplace off the beaten track in Southeast Asia, Myanmar is the place to go. Myanmar’s tourism industry is not as developed as places like Thailand, but it is growing. Which is why now would be the time to go see this amazing country. Since the country only opened up to western…
Myanmar was one of my favorite places I traveled to last year. The country and the people are beautiful and amazing, and the whole experience there was so wonderfully unexpected. By the time we got to Myanmar we’d been traveling for about 5 and half months already and I had such a hodge podge of clothes. But the things I…
Myanmar hadn’t originally been on our long list of countries to visit on our trip around the world, and I honestly didn’t know much about the country before we got there. We ended up going with a friend we’d met in Thailand, and I’m so glad we did. Myanmar is a beautiful country with tons of history and the friendliest…
