Terkhiin Tsaagan Nuur National Park

As you may have read in the previous two posts, I rode a motorcycle from the city of Tsetserleg to the small town of Tariat to check out the Terkhiin Tsaagan Nuur National Park.  I had planned to camp for several nights, but ended up staying at the Khorgo Ger Camp with the super nice …

The Wild Horses of Hustai

 At last, another travel post!  Thanks for sticking with me for the fundraising and volunteering; it was a welcome change of pace, but I’m happy to be back exploring.  This time, I left the sprawling, somewhat bland cityscape of UB behind and traded it for the sprawling hills and wild horses of Hustai National Park.  …

Mountain Climbing and Spelunking in Hpa An

A few days back, I spent some time in the lovely riverside town of Hpa An.  Just up the Thanlwin River from the city of Mawlamyine, Hpa An seemed to be a pretty relaxed city that I thoroughly enjoyed my time in.  On a few of the days, I made it outside the city to …

The 1237 Steps of Wat Tham Sua

Today I went on another solo adventure and missioned 8 km north to climb to a temple known as Wat Tham Sua (Tiger Cave Temple).  I’ve seen my share of temples in Asia so far, but this one intrigued me.  Mainly because this one features a shrine perched at the very tip top of a …

Secluded Beaches and Evil Monkeys: Bako National Park

One of the main things I wanted to do when I came to Kuching was to visit some nice beaches and see some more wildlife that wasn’t contained in a cage.  I did some looking online and talked to some people familiar with the area, and Bako National Park seemed to be a good choice. …

The Salt Trail: Part Two

In case you haven’t read it yet, the first part of my Salt Trail trek can be read here.  Once you’re all caught up on the first two days, jump back over here and read about the last half of the trek. Day 3: I woke the next morning in the abandoned church to two …

The Salt Trail: Part One

These past four days, I’ve really been ‘off the grid’ so to speak.  There wasn’t even any cell phone service!  And no… I wasn’t in Oak Harbor.  I was trekking through the jungles of the Crocker Mountain Range in Malaysian Borneo.  It was an awesome, painful, and exhausting experience that I don’t plan on repeating …

Things to Do in Bacolod

I spent the last week in Bacolod for the Masskara Festival, as you may have read in my previous post.  The festival itself was a mixed bag, but definitely worth checking out at least once.  The town of Bacolod itself I enjoyed much more.  We did many things over the course of the 6 days, …

Adventures in Ulleungdo

This last weekend, I did one of the few remaining things on my ‘before I leave Korea’ list.  Korea is a country with many islands.  3,579 to be exact.  Of these, Jejudo is the largest and most famous.  Known to some as ‘the Hawaii of Korea’, it is the number one destination for honeymooners and …

Escaping Reality

Since booking my flight to the Philippines, I’ve been thinking about traveling… A LOT.  Since my epic summer abroad in Europe back in 2008, I’ve been consumed by the urge to be constantly on the move. For three years, I wasn’t able to satisfy that urge as I was holding down a full-time position in …
