On the other side | Del otro lado

|ENG| My time in Thailand came to an end and Cambodia was next on the list. WHY? I didn’t know anything about it! That’s 1 reason. And sometimes 1 reason is all you need to make a decision 🙂 We took an 8 hr ride from Bangkok to Siem Reap in a sleeping bus. It wasn’t too bad at all. The seats were fairly comfortable and reclined all the way back. It also had a toilet onboard; however if you can’t go before boarding, please be the first one to …

Phi Phi Island, Thailand

|ESP| Como leíste antes, Phuket mató mi ambiente tropical. ¡Necesitaba sol y playas para reconectarme con mi vida de palmera interior! ¡Afortunadamente, las islas Phi Phi me revivieron!

I would say there are as many massage locations as street food trucks, and that means it’s A LOT!We learned already that Bangkok is THE food place, well Chiang Mai is THE Massage place. .We explored its streets and alleys in our search for the perfect place. And so we did!We picked a small location, where 2 ladies greet us with what is called “Wai” in Thai. A standard gesture of respect by slightly bending the head and …

Street Food? Yes, Please! | Comida Callejera? Si, por favor!

|ENG| I spend a lot of time holding the fridge door open looking for answers…Little did I know I would find them in the other side of the world! I always heard about how delicious the food was in South Asia, especially in Thailand. But simply, food here, rules. Restaurants and a food trucks literally border every single side walk and first floor of a house, building or garage. You walk in the street to be clear, forget the side walk. There is no empty spaces or way to miss …
