Great Places to Teach English

Every year thousands of people leave their home to travel and teach English overseas. They go to experience a new culture, work overseas, put off getting a “real” job, and earn lots of money doing it. Sometimes they are just backpackers who ran out of money and are looking for an easy job [...]


Bangkok’s Khao San Road (HD Video)

Khao San Road is the infamous backpacker/tourist street in Bangkok. All travel roads lead in and out of there. However, it is more than just a transit hub for travelers: Khao San Travel Tips: The street food on Khao San isn’t good. For better food, go to Soi Rambutri. There is a little group of food stalls [...]


Where Does The Time Go?

It’s amazing how travel changes your perception of time. I only left Europe 3 weeks ago but it already feels like three years ago. And that summer back in America feels like a life time ago. I remember talking to one of my friends last month and remarking how that even though we were [...]


Back Home

I’ve been back home for over a week now. After two months in Europe, I’ve come back to my friends, good drinks, Cheap Charlies, amazing food, great weather, and chaotic excitement. Yes, I’ve come back to Bangkok. Though born and raised in Boston, I consider Bangkok home now. When people ask me “where I live?” [...]

The Saturday City: Ko Chang

Located near the Cambodian border, I first heard of Ko Chang during my first visit to Thailand back in 2005. I was in Chang Mai and two backpackers were arguing over whether I should go to Ko Chang or Ko Samet. Back then, Ko Chang was a backpacker’s paradise. If Thailand had something close to [...]


Another Year Gone

After a good birthday celebration in Edinburgh, Scotland, I am now back in London. Tomorrow, I head back to Boston for two months. There are weddings to attend, doctors to see to make sure I’m healthy, food to eat, and trips to make.  I’ve been away 11 months and the next two months are to [...]


Ko Phi Phi

This is my third time on the island and as I was there I was reminded how much I dislike it. I hate Ko Phi Phi. It’s one of the most overrated islands in all of Thailand. I spent the last four days there with some friends of mine from Bangkok. Originally, we were going [...]


Eat Like a King in Bangkok

Thailand is known for its delicious food. The country’s capital Bangkok is one of the best to get food- both local and international. This cosmopolitan city has some of the best food from around the world. There’s nothing you can’t get (except Ethiopian as that restaurant recently closed). Whenever I leave Bangkok, I always miss [...]


Back in Bangkok

I’m back in Bangkok. I’ve been here two weeks and, despite my desire to be productive, it hasn’t happened. At least, not to the extent in which I wanted it too. I made the mistake of staying right near the world’s best and most popular hang out in Bangkok (at least for my friends)- [...]
