My travels around Asia.

Scrappy and The Wild Card Get Busted

Traveling does things to a person. It changes you on a fundamental level. If you asked us to describe ourselves in one word, we'd say "total rebels". Go ahead, tell me that's two words. I double-dog dare you. We are Josh and Jen no longer; let me introduce you to Scrappy and The Wild Card. We're traveling the world, breaking the rules, and living life on the cliff's edge. Yesterday, our mothers' upstanding little citizens got caught up with the seedy underbelly of local law enforcement and got a ticket in Thailand.

Hua Hin Beach

Our current house sit in Hua Hin is a bit out of town. With no public transportation and limited taxi availability, we've been relying on our host's motorbike to get us around. It's given us a great opportunity to explore a bit, while still living in a quiet and secluded area. Plus, there is something... Continue Reading →

Songkran – Thai New Year in Hua Hin

Only a block later there are bomb-ridden buildings with trees growing out the side of them next door to a glittering mega-mall. Yet the transitions seem somehow eased by the pleasant, almost random spottings of the Penang street art.

Adventures in Penang

The island of Penang is located off the Northwest coast of peninsular Malaysia. The capital city of Georgetown, where we were staying, is named as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its historical significance. There is so much to see and do on the island. I had no problem finding adventures in Penang.

Budget – March 2018

There seem to be a bazillion nomad bloggers out there talking about how cheap it is to travel, but very few are open about their finances. We've gotten quite a few questions about how we can afford to travel full-time, so we've decided to open up the books and do a monthly post with the details of our budget. The hope is that these posts will help prepare others who are thinking about jumping into the nomad life, and help us re-assess our spending habits. Enjoy!
