Adrienne and Carl with Kacang in Bali

Adopting a Dog in Bali

11 months ago, we quit our jobs and took off on a year long worldwide adventure – and never expected to foster a puppy or fall in love.

Doha, Qatar

We were completely surprised by Doha, Qatar, though to be fair we didn’t have strong expectations. Doha felt like the Singapore of the UAE: it’s an international hub where English speakers will have no trouble, extremely clean and welcoming, and the perfect intersections of culture and food. You’ll get much of the desert vibes, at a much higher price tag but without the hassle and grime of Morocco (though we do love Morocco as well). The architecture throughout the city is striking in its myriad of forms; both striking and elegant.

Perdana Botanical Garden

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur (KL) is the Southeast Asia country to visit if you love a variety of Asia food. The major city was described to us as a “grittier Singapore”, which we found quite accurate. There’s that similar vibrant mix of Malaysian, Chinese, and Indian cultures but the streets are not as clean and there’s quite a bit more traffic. We suppose it comes with the financial territory though, but coming from Bali we were super excited to grub out on all the food we’ve been missing.

Rainforest World Music Festival 2019, Jungle stage.

The Rainforest World Music Festival 2019

I came across an online post about the Rainforest World Music Festival just after it happened last year while we were still in the planning phase of our Around the World trip. I remember immediately swiveling in my chair to ask Carl, “What do you think about an international music festival in the rainforest?” And with that, we slotted Malaysia for early July and it was the only hard rule we had for our route the entire year.

Wat Arun, Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok, Thailand

On a whim we checked out MeetUp to see what was going on in Bangkok during our visit and found a group that met throughout the week for Board Game Nights. Nerd alert! We wound up going a couple times and enjoyed meeting both expats and locals who just enjoyed playing and teaching each other new games. It’s held at a game shop called Ninive that also has a small pizza oven, so you essentially go to play and order a pizza to cover your play costs.

Sibelius Park (Sibeliuksen puisto), Helsinki

Helsinki & Tampere: the realest winter

Finland. There is nothing like snow laden forests of bare trees: the stark brilliant white against the almost night black trees. The snow outlines forms you never noticed before. A simplification of the world, everything becomes dark or light, lines and shapes, like a map of the tracks and roadways. The eyelets on the birch catch your eye and you suddenly feel all the trees staring.
