Travel stories from around the world collected and shared as podcasts, videos, and photography, as experienced and created by Evo Terra and Sheila Dee.
"We filled a two-week gap in our September schedule with a trip to Vietnam. Rather than choose a single location, our friends recommended we take the train from Hanoi down to Ho Chi Minh City, spending time in various cities along the way as we slowly made our way down the North-South Reunification Line."
Read More"Based on my recent travels, here are a few notable noshes to inspire you to try a few new dishes when you’re out on the road—because great food is waiting for you just about everywhere!"

"As the primary jumping-off point for all places in Southeast Asia, there’s no shortage of sightseeing opportunities in Hong Kong: incredible shopping, fantastic dining, day-trips, exotic experiences… if you can dream it, you can probably do it."
Read More"Ko Tao, a beautiful island in the Gulf of Thailand, has a bit of a reputation. Are there really 72 dive shops? Yes, yes there are. Is Sairee beach really packed with 20-somethings power-drinking between full moon parties? Yes, yes it is."
Read More"When I travel, I have the following safety concerns: Getting hacked/phished, not having access to my money, and my own physical safety. In this article for TravelSmith, I detail how I mitigate those concerns when I travel."
Read More"But that’s not how it went for me. In fact, I didn’t even have a passport until the ripe old age of 37. Today, just 10 years later, I’m living abroad and exploring everything the world can throw at me. Yes, I know I’m late to the travel party. But I’m making up for lost time!"
Read More"Prior to the release of the movie, Koh Tapu and Koh Kah Phing Kan were just two of a smattering of rather unremarkable islands."
Read More"Of the 372,000 miles of coastline NASA says we have on the Earth, only a fraction are of the 'beach/bathing' variety."
Read More"Now as much as I love cheese, I’m not so much of a fan as to plan an entire itinerary around it. Then again, I really didn’t need to because cheese—good, plentiful and sometimes horribly expensive—is not hard to find when you travel in Europe."
Read More"Every few seconds someone in the crowd of thousands would stand up and start marching, hopping, running or sometimes crawling toward the stage. Marchers, crawlers, and hoppers were entertaining and fun to photograph, but the runners you had to look out for."
Read More"With its origins dating back to the 4th century, Santiago de Compostela is an old city. Like many still-standing European towns, it grew organically rather than from central planning, developing a hodge-podge of streets running at odd angles with impossibly narrow sections."
Read More"Chiang Rai’s main claim to fame is Wat Rong Kuhn (the White Temple) and Baan Dam (the Black House). Both are sites are interesting and worthy of their own visit, but did I mention GIANT WATER FIGHT?"
Read More"I’m not sure what shocked me more: The pierced-faced marchers, the firework-propelled shrapnel embedded in my leg, or the surging crowds’ complete lack of regard for my safety..."
Read More"... [Stainless steel] also helped with the war effort (though I don’t see anyone vilifying Brearley like they do poor Oppenheimer; such is the power of a rust-free spoon)."
Read More"The market is constructed of 27 distinct sections. (Why 27 sections? Who knows? Seriously, there is no reason at all; it could just as easily have been 40.)"
Read More"... there’s more than a thin yellow beer in America, and there’s more than black, thick-looking beer in Ireland. Not all Belgian beers taste like wet cardboard and not all English beer is served warm. Nor do all Czech beers pack an alcoholic wallop."
Read More"... the crested pigeon travels in much fewer numbers and spreads nightmares directly from its demon-esque eyes. I mean… look at it!"
Read More"Assuming you aren’t an astronaut, an airplane or helicopter does the job nicely. This mode of transportation will cut your trip to the reef from hours to minutes, and an aircraft lets you take in dozens of different reefs, all with their own character and grace."
Read More"For those of you who skipped a day in geography class, Brittany is the name of the big peninsula that juts out from France’s northwest corner. Surrounded on three sides by (relatively) warm Atlantic currents..."
Read More"... Mostly limited to short-term visitors resetting their visas or staying for a quick overnighter before heading out for a week on a live-aboard dive trip, it’s a town most Westerners simply breeze through."
