Long time, no see! That's right, it has been two months since my last Brews Around the World Update. Don't worry, that doesn't mean I haven't been drinking beer. It just means I have been waiting to share all of the awesomeness until I finally had enough to write about. Get ready for a dual... Continue Reading →
Our house sit in Hua Hin, Thailand has ended and it is time for us to move on to our next location. Our next sit is two weeks away and in an entirely different hemisphere. Here is a rundown of our adventure near the Don Muang International Airport in Bangkok. Hua Hin to DMK Airport... Continue Reading →
There was a lot to see in Thailand. The food, people, culture, birds, and critters were drawing our eyes in every direction. It was an overload of the senses in the best possible way. We discovered so many new things that the thought of doing just a birding blog for Thailand seemed to cheat the... Continue Reading →

After our daring escape from the police road block on the motorbike, we were off to Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. It is one of the top sights in Thailand and only 40 miles away from our house sit in Hua Hin. The drive was wonderful, with views of both small farming villages among... Continue Reading →
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.
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 →
We started our international journey with a flight out of Boise on New Year's Eve. Since then, we have celebrated Chinese New Year in Chengdu, Persian New Year in Malaysia, and now Songkran, Thailand's New Year, in Hua Hin. I hate to play favorites, but Songkran in Hua Hin has been the best by far!... Continue Reading →
