A few weeks ago, Elephant Nature Park welcomed a new baby boy to the herd — Navann. Of course, there will be a story coming, but for now, enjoy this adorable little guy! If you want more baby, be sure to check out this video of his first “bath.”

Old and Lonely: an expat tale of (not) dating in Thailand
It’s one of those thick and gorgeous nights in Bali, when the air gently whispers in your ear, the ink black water of the Indian Ocean licks the soft butter-colored sand, and you can just barely make out puffy clouds lingering in the night sky. Sitting outside at the Jukung Grill at Grand Mirage Resort,Continue reading “Old and Lonely: an expat tale of (not) dating in Thailand”
Escape of the Week: La Boqueria Mercat in Barcelona
Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by travel blogger Nic Freeman. Strolling through the bustling La Boqueria Mercat in Barcelona is a bit like falling down a Spanish rabbit hole into a vibrant, food-filled wonderland: once there, your senses become saturated and you are led on a journey of delights, adventures, bizarre encounters and cultural quirks. Also known asContinue reading “Escape of the Week: La Boqueria Mercat in Barcelona”
Blissing out at Bali’s Grand Mirage Resort
It’s cool in the lounge where Daniel (my friend who has flown to Bali to meet me for the weekend) and I sit, awaiting our keys to our suite at the Grand Mirage Resort. “Would you like a drink?” Asks one of the hotel’s staff, clad in a skirt, button-up shirt and heels. “We haveContinue reading “Blissing out at Bali’s Grand Mirage Resort”
Daily Wanderlust: a Grand Mirage Resort room with a view
I’ve dreamed of going to the exotic Indonesian island of Bali for ages. Pretty sure even before that book came out all about eating, praying and loving. In my mind, I always envisioned a paradise of sorts where reality and dreams mingle together on the soft sands of the Indian Ocean. You know what? It’s true. AContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: a Grand Mirage Resort room with a view”
Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai: the day trip
The early morning rays of the sun are barely creeping through my apartment window when my alarm buzzes. Time to get up. It’s a Saturday, and I am awake at 6 a.m. for a good reason: I am going on my first journey outside of Chiang Mai. Today, I’m hopping into a Top North minivanContinue reading “Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai: the day trip”
Daily Wanderlust: Bath time at Elephant Nature Park
Since I now am an expat in Thailand, spending my days helping Save Elephant Foundation (which includes a healthy mix of visiting it’s flagship project, Elephant Nature Park), I have oh-so many photos of life here. Namely, life with elephants. Let’s face it, I could take photos of tuk tuks, views from my apartment andContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Bath time at Elephant Nature Park”
Daily Wanderlust: Morning glow at Elephant Nature Park
One of the best things about my expat life in Thailand is working for Save Elephant Foundation, which supports my most favorite place in the world, Elephant Nature Park. A perk of my gig is that I get to head the 60 km north once a week or so to take photos, meet reporters andContinue reading “Daily Wanderlust: Morning glow at Elephant Nature Park”
Daily Wanderlust: the coolest tuk tuk in Chiang Mai
I’d seen it before — this tricked out, pimped out tuk tuk — cruising along the moat road in Chiang Mai. “I have to get a ride in that!” I said to my friend as it motored by. Three weeks later, as I walk with people out of my favorite restaurant at Thae Pae Gate,Continue reading “Daily Wanderlust: the coolest tuk tuk in Chiang Mai”
My dirty little expat confession
For two weeks, I am in Thailand Expat Bliss. I wake up when it gets light (because for the first two weeks in Chiang Mai the sun refuses to glow) with a huge smile on my face. The smile never leaves. I walk to work like a child seeing the world for the first time. HugeContinue reading “My dirty little expat confession”
