It started with Confessions of an Economic Hit Man which reveals how developed countries exploit the undeveloped world for their own gains and how the “global empire” is booming and causing distress to local communities worldwide. From there I started reading The Shock Doctrine – which details the history [...]

And then a few more days I was traveling through remote villages without any wifi access. The new year festivities here are beyond awesome. The celebration lasts at least 3 [...]

Since we started traveling we have been trying to eat less meat, focusing more on vegetarian or vegan friendly meals.

This post is sponsored by Tourisme Montreal Thailand amazes me with the food. Especially the curry pastes. They have so many; green, red, penang, yellow, massaman, and they’re all different.
