As I suspected, I have limited access to internet. Limited in the sense I’m not willing to pay 20 euros per day for internet at the hotel and dragging my laptop to a coffee shop with two kids plus a small bike is just too much to deal with. I was able to get a … Continue reading
As we were getting ready to visit our family in the US two years ago we decided to book our flights via Chicago to do a two-night layover on our way from Bangkok to Florida. I had never been to Chicago and I was overly excited to visit this city for the first time ever. … Continue reading
Summer, the time of the year where the biggest event in the expat community takes place: the Expat Exodus. Most everybody takes advantage of the school holidays to repatriate at least for a few weeks and enjoy quality family time, real barbecue grilled burgers, fresh (vs. frozen) berries, good root beer, and very possibly some … Continue reading

We visited Phuket with Evan was 5 months old. My sister was in town so we had the perfect excuse to pack our stuff, diapers, bottles, and all and head to the paradisaical beaches in the south of Thailand. This was our first time flying by plane with out little Evan so I was very … Continue reading
I had honestly never been too excited to visit Singapore. We had had the opportunity to “move” there temporarily to give birth to Joshua but decided against it and went to the US instead. In my mind, post-partum depression, plus newborn, plus Christmas in a new place where I didn’t know anyone was not a … Continue reading
