Every time my mom and I plan a trip to New York City, she inevitably asks me if we’re going to go to Chinatown. She absolutely loved her visit to San Francisco’s Chinatown in the ’90s. I, however, was skeptical and kept avoiding it for years. After all, I live in Italy so never want […]
To Ride or Not Ride an Elephant in Thailand?
I didn’t honestly know much about Asian elephants and their situation before our trip to Anantara Golden Triangle to take part in their elephant researcher program. As our trip got closer, several blogger friends talked to me about a video they had seen of baby elephants being tortured in order for their mahouts to ride […]
10 Things to Do in Bangkok
Being in Bangkok is like being on sensory overload. Dogs are barking and roosters are crowing all amidst the incessant honking of horns and tuk tuks hurtling through the streets. The urban metropolis is an odd mixture of old decaying temples and shiny new shopping malls. There is certainly no shortage of things to do […]
Stunning 360° Views at Bangkok Rooftop Bar Zoom
Ever since Hollywood headed to Bangkok with the cast of The Hangover II hanging out on a Bangkok rooftop bar, they’ve been the hottest nightlife destinations in the Thai capital.

A Glam Getaway to Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan
Our boat bounced along the Gulf of Thailand as we sped toward the remote island of Koh Phangan. Like that scene in Jurassic park as the helicopter zooms toward Isla Nublar, an island with craggy cliffs, dense jungle, and idyllic coves of white sand loomed before us. The island is most known for its world […]

Chiang Rai’s Night Market
Though we hear that Chiang Rai’s Night Market is a much smaller version of the famous one in Chiang Mai, we really enjoyed our visit. Night markets are one of the most popular things for Thais to do. And of course, when you’re planning Thailand tours, you’ll want to be sure to include a night […]
Skiing at Austria’s Nassfeld Ski Resort
We live less than two hours away from the world class ski resorts in the Italian Dolomites, so you might wonder why we would want to go anywhere else. Conveniently for us, Austria can be easily reached in two hours as well. Nassfeld Ski Resort is one of the top ski resorts in Austria. Being […]
Wat Rong Khun: The White Temple
Wat Rong Khun, known outside of Thailand simply as The White Temple, is a strangely beautiful place. Built by the famous Thai Buddhist painter-turned-architecht and millionaire Chalermchai Kositpipat, the temple is completely funded by Kositpipat’s own money in order to bring his vision to life. Construction began in 1996 and still continues, though Kositpipat will […]
The Long Neck Karen Hill Tribe
The Long Neck Karen are a tribe of women that are refugees from Burma living in the northern Thai hills.
