Finally Making it to Myanmar
http://whatsdavedoing.com/finally-making-myanmar
CORPORATE RUNAWAY. WORLD WANDERER. COFFEE DRINKER. Finally Making it to Myanmar. December 2, 2014. It took far longer than it should. As a result, Lauren and I didn’t quite know what to expect from our time in the country, and decided to opt for a short, two-week visit to get a sense of what was on offer. If we didn’t like it, if it just wasn’t for us, we didn’t have to spend long there. In, out, tick, done. Those big, comfortable overnight buses ran at $10-$20 depending on the distance, and came with co...

CORPORATE RUNAWAY. WORLD WANDERER. COFFEE DRINKER. Tiny Frog at Coba. On the Beach in Tulum. It’s all about the Bulldogs. Watery goodness at Yelapa. Flickering candles for the Day of the Dead. Death With A View. Wonder why it’s called the Iguana Tree? Go little turtle go. Driftwood and breakers in Sayulita. What’s with the animal sculptures? Sorry to interrupt…. Speeding taxis in New York. Oddly-shaped cactus of the day. Red Rock Road Trip. Shadows on the trail. Hey, it’s a moose. Down the river in NZ.

CORPORATE RUNAWAY. WORLD WANDERER. COFFEE DRINKER. Avoiding Accidents, Heatstroke and Everyone Else in Bagan. February 27, 2015. 8220;Not like that! I yelled again, drawing a raised eyebrow from the elderly couple walking past. “Lauren! Screeching to a halt in a cloud of dust and tears, a dejected figure slumped forward over the rickety basket. “See? You I didn’t know how to ride a bike properly! In that moment, it was hard to argue. Were we destined to walk or take taxis everywhere, I wondered? We were ...

Two Days on Inle Lake: The Good, the Bad, the Big Fat Cheroot

CORPORATE RUNAWAY. WORLD WANDERER. COFFEE DRINKER. Two Days on Inle Lake: The Good, the Bad and the Big Fat Cheroot. March 24, 2015. At least a dozen backpackers had got out of our bus from Bagan a few days earlier, but none had joined us on the van ride to Inle Lake. A three day trek was the preferred method, but with Lauren still fighting bouts of mono, we’d opted for the motorised option instead. We set out looking for. Like, say, the walk back into town. Angling to make the most out of our limited ti...

CORPORATE RUNAWAY. WORLD WANDERER. COFFEE DRINKER. January 3, 2015. And so this is Christmas. And what have we done? A new one just begun. I’ve always loved John Lennon’s anti-war ode to the holiday season. It’s a sign Christmas is coming, with all that entails, and the lyrics get me thinking about what’s happened in the last twelve months and what lies ahead. It’s been coming for a while, but here at the start of 2015, I find myself at a bit of a crossroads. Here’s why. Finally Making it to Myanmar.

CORPORATE RUNAWAY. WORLD WANDERER. COFFEE DRINKER. That Time I Ate Portland. June 24, 2014. Sometimes I return to a city for the weather. Sometimes I return to a city for the culture. Sometimes I return to a city to visit friends and family. They’re all good reasons and none of them were why I went back to Portland in March. No, I went back to Portland to eat.

Exploring (But Mostly Just Eating) Taipei

CORPORATE RUNAWAY. WORLD WANDERER. COFFEE DRINKER. Exploring (But Mostly Just Eating) Taipei. July 1, 2015. I’d had no plans to go to Taiwan. She’d spent five weeks there a couple of years earlier, and just couldn’t shut up about the place. As in, every time someone asked what her favourite country was, the reply was instant and vocal. “TAIWAN! Our room at JV’s Hostel. And so we didn’t. Occasional photos were my only clue about what lay in store, pictures of fruit smoothies and fried chicken an island of...
