Places To See Around Hpa-an, Myanmar

June 10, 2013Filed in: Destinations by Mike Shubbuck

Hpa-an, Myanmar

After arriving in Yangon, popping over to Bago, traveling to Mt Kyaiktiyo, and visiting Mawlamyine, we hopped a minibus to Hpa-an (pronounced pa-aun). I use the term minibus lightly since that is what our guesthouse called it, but the reality is it was a full-sized bus with mini-seats. I swear that SE Asian countries make Read Post

Mike’s 12 Memories From 12 Months Around the World

June 6, 2013Filed in: Points of View by Mike Shubbuck

Hot Air Balloons in Cappadocia, Turkey

Hey, Tara, do you remember that time when… …we nearly drove around the entire island of Iceland (or as they call their country, Ísland) searching for puffins. We had the option early on to eat them, but it was a veritable “Where’s Waldo?” (aka “Where’s Wally?” to the rest of the world) for finding them Read Post

Mike Holds a Scorpion

Hey, Mike, do you remember that time when… …we drove on a black-sand beach near Vík, Iceland, to try to see a puffin colony that was blocked off from the roadway? I thought for sure we’d get stuck in the sand! Bruce Peninsula was playing, and the music kind of fit the mood. The sky Read Post

English is Everywhere

May 26, 2013Filed in: Points of View by Tara Shubbuck

Namibia Border Sign

I felt like such a privileged American walking around speaking English in Europe, Africa and Asia. Locals would put aside their mother tongue and interact in mine. Many picked up the language during childhood through American pop culture, our country’s greatest export. We met Icelanders who learned English this way and speak it so flawlessly Read Post
