The end of one journey, the start of another, and an announcement
On May 13, 2016, we left my mother-in-law’s place in Nova Scotia to embark on an epic road trip throughout Canada and the US. Just myself, Laura, a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire… and just about everything we owned. We drove all around Nova Scotia, west through New Brunswick...
Looking for love as an expat — my personal success story
The first date started… awkwardly. Despite having chatted back and forth on OKCupid for several weeks beforehand, it was clear this was going to work differently than other first dates. We ordered some Korean barbecue and tried to see where things went. Rewind the...
On the purge, and what you leave behind
With our time in Bogota coming to an end the day after this post goes live, the one sucky part of expat life must emerge: The Purge. On one level I sort of envy the minimalists who can fit / cram everything they own into a backpack. We’re not quite there yet – during...

How we moved ourselves and everything we owned across Thailand for $358.46
Being digital nomads like us means a few things are a given. A few of them: You’ll make friends in different cities and countries around the world. You may never settle down in an area, even as you get to know it well. You decide to move every so often. It’s that...
Dealing with a broken arm: the Thailand edition
Every so often, real life gets in the way of traveling/blogging. Last Tuesday night (19 August) was one of those times, and it happened after coming home from a quiz night, of all things… To get some of the obvious questions out-of-the-way, yes, I am mostly fine. It’s...
Should you get offbeat in your travels? Why I travel off the beaten path
“It’s coming up on the left,” my wife said. My navigator, an awesome woman and the love of my life stared at her iPhone, looking to ensure our blue dot turned onto the correct side road. She sat at the back of our rented scooter while I breathed a sigh of...
