7-11 is an obsession in Thailand 😂, so we made a vid about the best things in Thailand according to Reddit users (since trying all of this would be physically impossible).

First day of marriage equality in Thailand 🇹🇭🏳️🌈💖

First day of marriage equality in Thailand 🇹🇭🏳️🌈💖
Traveling through countries like Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Malaysia, we found safe spaces but never shook the unease.
Crossing into Thailand felt like exhaling...same-sex marriage is (almost) legal, and we can breathe a bit more freely.
For now, we’re soaking in this rare feeling of safety.

A glimpse into Papan, a semi-ghost town near Ipoh.
The quiet decay feels post-apocalyptic, with every crumbling wall whispering stories of those who lived here.
Its raw authenticity captivates us far more than the polished façades of typical tourist spots.

What’s a Kopitiam? ‘Kopi’ (coffee) + ‘Tiam’ (shop) = Coffee Shop—but way better! Found in Malaysia, Singapore & beyond, they redefine breakfast with dishes like:
🍚 Nasi Lemak: Coconut rice + sambal.
🍝 Char Kuey Teow: Stir-fried noodles.
📍Makan Pagi, Penang

The famed Ipoh white coffee.
Coffee beans roasted in margarine + evaporated milk + condensed milk.
One of those "try it once, but I'd rather not get diabetes...thank you very much" type of experiences.
How you drinking your brew?!

The vibes from 833 meters up on Penang Hill.
Highlights: temples, gold-domed mosques, a skywalk above the canopies, and scorpions 😬 (not pictured)

Two years without a home base—terrifying or freeing?
In 2023, we gave up our apartments and started slow traveling. By July, we took the leap into full-time travel blogging.
As 2025 approaches, we’re setting new goals and are so grateful for your support (except homophobes 😜).
Happy New Year!

A peek at Armenia’s second city, Gyumri 🇦🇲
Still rebuilding from the 1986 earthquake, Gyumri oozes charm with its unique black-and-orange volcanic tuff stone architecture.
Armenia’s been through a lot, but they’ll move mountains to make sure you love their country.

Another Duolingo convo that needs to be normalized ❤️
Junior tells his dad he wants to try a new sport.
I feared his reaction when Junior said dancing, but he was so supportive and even danced in the store!
Gender roles shouldn’t make us expect the worst—be like Junior’s dad!

Ever taken a ride that feels like a brush with death?
Welcome to the marshrutka, the infamous death trap in the Caucasus.
Packed to capacity, with bouncy seats, near-miss traffic stunts, and a unique fragrance—survive it, and you’ll have stories (and wine money)!
