Happy New Year, everyone! We thought it would be fun to take a look back at our most popular Flickr photos of 2010. Enjoy! 1. Berwang, Austria This is by far our most popular photo and one of our favorite memories. We were driving around the Tyrol Alps in our little rental car and stopped [...]
All too often, we’ve meet travelers that look like they are straight from the set of 28 Days Later– dirty, stinky, sleep-deprived, emaciated, and hung over. They drag their feet from castle to cathedral groaning and drooling all the way. How can anyone travel like that and actually get something out of it (besides psoriasis [...]
You can’t go wrong with fried carbohydrates covered with carbohydrate glaze. We discovered this local bakery while shopping one afternoon. I can only assume it is some kind of local delicacy. After taking this photo, I had to understand the reason for these insane crowds. Krispy Kreme has fallen on hard times in the States [...]

The accommodations are cheap on Koh Lipe ($20/night [...]
India is synonymous with scam. Wherever you go, you are squeezed for every rupee. Luckily, even if you pay triple the normal price for a bus ticket, it’s still only $5. I know this sounds very cynical, but unfortunately, we have had our fair share of hassle on the subcontinent. After a few days of [...]
It’s hard remembering holidays on the road, especially when you aren’t immersed in the preparation, advertising, and all of the hullabaloo surrounding them. When traveling, American holidays become just another day. Sure, you’ll see a hint here or there, or share a knowing smile and wave with a fellow Yankee traveler, but other than that, [...]
The Cameron Highlands is 712 sq. kilometers of beautiful rolling hills and lush, green vegetation about 1,500 meters above sea level in the Titiwangsa Range. We spent a relaxing day visiting the many agricultural attractions of this peaceful hill station. You can’t go far in the Highlands without seeing strawberries. The climate and hydroponic growing [...]
