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?

Allan spent 3 years traveling the world by motorcycle. On Tuesday he shared his journey with us with some of his amazing stories from those years on the road.

But what did he do when he got back home?

Supermarkets, cars, and the shock of too much choice provide some interesting points of contrast to the rest of the world. We chat about the difficulties of re-entry after years abroad before moving onto his big project…

Forks, A Quest for Culture, Cuisine, and Connection, a gorgeous coffee table book about his travels around the world. Complete with recipes and photos from the 35 countries he visited on his journey.

We discuss his quest to get his book published via crowdfunding and the new projects he currently has in the works.

Motorcycle Diaries from Around the World with Allan Karl, Part 1

Ep-144

What do you do when a fork shows up in your road?

Do you pursue your passions? Or let fear dictate the course?

Allan Karl decided to follow his passion, and as he says, the decision was hard, but leaving was easy.

He went on to visit over 30 countries on a 3 year-long ride around the world. From the deserts of Sudan to the rainy roads of Brazil Allan has so many stories to share that we had to split the episode in half!

In today’s episodes we chat about some of his more stressful moments along the way, but make sure to check back on Thursday for the conclusion of his journey, and how he went around major publishers to publish his novel Forks: A Quest for Culture, Cuisine, and Connection.
