Tara in Mui Ne

You’ve already read the spoiler, but I’ll say it anyway: I accepted a position with an international e-commerce company only two months after our RTW trip ended! Yay!!! Before I dive into how this process unfolded upon our return, it’s important for me to explain how I got there. From the very beginning planning stages Read Post

The Beauty of Maine [in Photos]

October 18, 2013Filed in: Destinations, Photos & Video by Tara Shubbuck

Ogunquit, Maine

Mike and I just returned from an amazing week-long New England road trip. The impetus for the trip was a family member’s wedding in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. But a wedding is always a good excuse for a longer vacation, especially for two travelaholics like us! We were staying with my aunt’s friend, Brett, outside of Read Post

Thai Recipe: Tom Kha Gai

October 1, 2013Filed in: Food by Tara Shubbuck

Tom Kha Goong

We weren’t going to give away any more of Chef Aon’s recipes from our cooking class in Chiang Mai, Thailand, but this ubiquitous Thai soup is just too good not to share. We have used Chef Aon’s recipe to make this soup a couple times since returning to the States. The delicious flavors immediately bring Read Post

Drinking Coffee Around the World

September 17, 2013Filed in: Food by Tara Shubbuck

Coffee in Pakse, Laos

The best iced coffee I have ever had was in Pakse, Laos. Surprised? I was too, but southern Laos’ Bolaven Plateau produces high quality coffee beans (you can thank French colonization for that). The local cafes know how to brew it well, so every cup Mike and I had was absolutely brilliant. Southeast Asia’s coffee Read Post
