Travel blog | Shortly after getting married, we quit our nine-to-fives and left behind everything that didn't fit in our backpacks. We've learned that this world is too big (and too interesting!) to stay in one place. We believe that with a little courage and inspiration, everyone has the power to follow their dreams.

Friday office views aren't too bad. Just don't splash me 💦

Throwback to that that birthday a few years ago when I woke up in this magically misty wonderland. I guess my birthdays going forward have a lot to live up to 🍾

Seriously though, we’re pretty proud of this article. Let us know what you think!

Definitely missing fall, but these views are helping us cope...

Yesterday we joined a hiking group and spent a couple hours walking through the jungle and trying not to slip in the mud while we made new friends. Chiang Mai has a really cool community of teachers, digital nomads, expats and locals who all have different stories to share. Aside from winding up drenched in sweat from the uphill climb in jungly heat, it was quite a pleasant hike! .

We made it to the top of the mountain... errr, hill... and arrived at Chiang Mai's most famous temple, Doi Suthep. We've seen a LOT of temples and sometimes they seem to blend together, but this one is pretty spectacular. It was even more special this weekend, as it is the one year anniversary of the King's passing, so many locals were there paying their respects to their late leader.

This is what our last few days have looked like. Feeling pretty thankful for the super cute restaurants and coffee shops with fast WiFi and tasty smoothies that help us cope with missing out on fall. Oh, and we’re thankful for AC. Very thankful... #coffeeshopgrind

These lotus flowers match my kimono 🌺 Just doin' my best to blend in 😂

Floating Market snaps 📷 This gives a whole new meaning to "banana boat" 😂

We’re huge fans of Thai food. Anyone else? 🙋 So when we heard about a nighttime Tuk Tuk Food Adventure tour, we were SO in. We stopped at some of Bangkok’s most important markets, visited restaurants that are well-loved by locals, and tried the fare at some hidden street stalls where we were the only foreigners. •
We’ve been to Thailand several times and thought we knew Thai food. But on this tour we tried 17 different foods and drinks, and almost all of them were new to us! We learned little bits and pieces about Thai culture that we’d never heard before and ate at places we probably never would have found on our own.
•
One of our favorite stops was at a small street stall hidden in an alleyway. Our local guide said “you have to follow the smells!”. And she was right. Tucked away in a little neighborhood was a restaurant with plastic stools packed with locals - the sign of authentic cuisine, according to Anthony Bourdain and Ben. Each dish was made to order over a hot fire as the owner’s small daughter meandered between the guests happily eating their fried noodles and chicken. These are most certainly our favorite types of dining experiences!

If you love Thai food but want to go beyond Pad Thai and Green Curry, sign up for this tour with @expique the next time you’re in Bangkok! •
(BONUS: Expique also leads cooking classes and other kinds of tours for every type of foodie traveler!) If you want to see more pictures from our Tuk Tuk Food Adventure, head over to our Facebook page!
