20 of the Most Beautiful Buildings in the World – Part 1

Ep-148

While exploring Yangon in Myanmar we stumbled across an amazing array of buildings left over from the country’s time as a British colony. Some were falling to ruins, but others had been restored to some of the most beautiful buildings we’d seen during our travels.

So that gave us an idea.

What WERE some of the best buildings we’d seen on our travels? The best examples of architecture? Both ancient and new?

So here we are, Heather and I, each laying out our top 10 feats of architecture. From the coastlines of Portugal to the peninsulas of Japan, we span the globe detailing our favorite buildings around the world.

In Part 1 we detail our honorable mentions and the first 5 off each of our lists. Check back on Thursday for part 2, where we discuss even more places that are going to get you yearning for travel once again!

Our Two Travel Freakouts in Myanmar

Ep-147

Sometimes when you visit a new place things are just so outside of your expectations and comfort zone that you just loose it.

That happened to us in Myanmar.

Twice.

We’ve had a wonderful time during our stay in Burma, but along the way, there were moments where both of us were tempted to storm out of our guesthouses. Heather to find a better place to stay, and mine to just leave the country entirely (Mine was a little more extravagant).

In both cases, we managed to keep it together and find a way to make it work, but getting there was a little tough.

Today Heather and I detail our respective freakouts because we do, after all, strive to entertain you. And what better way than to talk about our own mishaps?
