After a week in another big city, we were seeking some peace to end our travels and found just that in the delightful mountain town of Chiang Dao, an hour and a half north of Chiang Mai. This lush village is situated at the base of the striking Doi Dao mountain, creating stunning views from…

On first impression, Old City Chiang Mai is something straight out of a fairytale — an area of dense development squared off with a literal moat and ancient brick walls.

We’ve started our nomadic life! The warm welcome from those kind enough to share couches and homes with us feels a like a continuation of the joy from celebrating our wedding. We arrived in Denver to a warm welcome from a world traveler herself and our catsitter, Maddi, with lots to catch up on over…
