Friends abroad

It is a great thing when you're lucky enough to have some friends abroad. We met Citta and Stephanie while in Seattle through a mutual friend by the name of Henry Sia. They moved back home, to Jakarta, and we were able to visit (crash at their houses) while there. They are both some of the sweetest people in the world, and we enjoyed staying at both of their houses. Citta showed us some of the finer Indonesian eateries Jakarta had to offer and one hell of a rooftop bar. While Stephanie showed us more local attractions and more amazing food. We also ate lots of fruit from Indonesia and beyond with her boyfriend. As we relaxed, we watched the weight pack on while being at their houses. Hopefully in the furture we will be abe to repay their generosity. Thanks so much ladies!!

Clouds came floating into my life

After an exhausting 12 hours of travel, which included multiple busses, tuk tuk's and a ferry we finally crossed the border over to Thailand and arrived in Ko Lanta. A large island in the south west region. While we knew this island was a bit more quite, we did not expect it to be deserted. I guess the off season hits this island harder since it's not a major backpackers stop. 

Making the most of every stop we decided it was a nice time to finish up some freelance work and enjoy a nice peaceful retreat. We sat in total awe at the beautiful sunsets every evening while enjoying the deliciousness that is Thai food. Fresh caught fish on the bbq, pad thai's and curries will now be our staple.
