Our time in Phuket was much too short. But we jam packed as much as we could into the few days that we were there. Ryan and I stayed on the southernmost point of Phuket, at a boutique hotel called The Nai Harn. The hotel was located right on the beach with beautiful views of …

Siem Reap
Siem Reap is a small town inside of Cambodia. While there we traveled by tuk-tuk, stayed at an awesome hotel, went to the cirucs, and explored the temples known as Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is a series of Hindu/Buddhist temples; the main one was built in the 12th century. Each temple had its own unique …
Salzburg
