We have spent more time in Chiang Mai than any other city in the world.
Except, of course, Philadelphia.
And yet somehow, we’ve never done a Destination Diary on it!
So today, long overdue, is an account of some of the best places in Chiang Mai. The best restaurants (for all different types of food), the best places to stay, some of the most fun activities, and the best straight razor shave you’ll ever get!
Heather and I love sweets, and not just for dessert!
Today we recount our search of the globe for the world’s best sweet treats. From Thailand to Philadelphia we’ll give you some places to visit just for the sweets!!
Our loves range from ice cream and creme brulee to fruit tarts and peanuts (we did get an extra pack of them after all….)
Traveling the world is a great excuse to eat delicious food.
But what are the most delicious foods? The most delicious places?
You’re in luck!
Heather and I each list our top 10 meals from all over the world (including our hometown!)for a podcast that’s sure to leave you starving. We were when we’d finished recording, even after a bang-bang-bang that led to my new #1!
What are some of the best meals you’ve ever eaten? We’re always looking for more places to try, and with all these frequent flyer miles, we might just fly out to see if it’ll knock one of our top 10 off the list!!
What do you do when presented with an opportunity to fly to South East Asia for less than 250 dollars roundtrip?
You go.
Nate Buchanan jumped on a mistake fare last year that ended up taking him and his wife through a whirlwind tour of Europe and Thailand, using points and miles to alleviate most of the costs.
From sleeping on boats off the coast of Thailand to some instances of travel hacking at it’s finest, Nate has some great advice on saving money while you travel and how on earth to decide where you’ll be going next!
This is Part 1 of Nate Buchanan week here on the podcast. Check back on Thursday to hear us talk more about Nate’s entrepreneurial adventures, he’s got some great projects to talk about!
What is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions?
Travel.
To help any of you who may have “More Travel” written on that list of things you’d like to accomplish in 2015, we’ve decided to help you plan your trip.
Heather joins me as we chat about our planning process – the more fun, research-based side, for the more practical aspects of travel planning check out our Pre-Travel Checklist.
We discuss how we decide where to go, researching things to do at your destination, accommodations, tours, and how to conduct on the ground research.
