In 2006, we spent a month in Vietnam. We crossed the border from China in the north near Sapa, where we spent an amazing few days amongst the Hmong people and their beautifully terraced rice fields. Next we ventured down to Hanoi, and then spent a few days on a boat in the Halong Bay. Afterwards we made our way south, but for now we have plenty of photos to show of Northern Vietnam. If you find yourself wandering around Southeast Asia, don’t miss this amazing country, especially Sapa (sometimes spelled “Sa Pa”) and the surrounding areas. (more…)

Jack and Jill Travel the World

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Married couple Jack and Jill (what perfect names!) will soon be leaving on an around the world journey. We virtually sat down with them and had an electronic conversation about trip planning and budgeting. Tentatively, they are planning to leave in April, but that’s all up in the air right now. Our gut feeling is that they will leave soon, especially since we can all track the progress of their financial savings on their blog, wherespoople.com. After all, they’ve been planning this trip for 4 years! (more…)

Where Is Jenny?

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Jenny Leonard is a self-proclaimed Location Independent Minimalist, and a skateboarder, too. After the holidays and with the start of the new year, she’ll leave home to travel indefinitely, “Or until the money runs out”, she says. She’ll be blogging at WhereIsJenny.com so that the rest of us can follow her adventure. Naturally, I had a few questions for her before her trip. A trip like this (“lifestyle change” is a better description) takes some time to plan and organize, and we like to find out how others prepare so that we can all benefit for our own trips. (more…)
