TAKE TIME TO DO WHAT MAKES YOUR SOUL HAPPY
Before we even started planning our trip, I found a hotel in Mykonos that was located on the beach, had gorgeous bohemian style decor, and was supposed to serve the most amazing cocktails and food made fresh with local, real, and organic ingredients. The minute I found it, I knew there was no other place I would want to stay whenever we made it to Greece.

Read MoreWe got into Athens at night and took the metro from the airport into the city. We emerged from the underground station to find ourselves on a somewhat deserted street with graffiti everywhere (it felt a little post apocalyptic to be honest).
Read MoreWhen we arrived in Chiang Mai our first stop was in "Old City" where we met up with a co-worker and his wife for dinner. Our friends Matt & Phi were in the middle of a 6 month trip throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe and our itineraries overlapped for one night only (Christmas day!) so we made a point to meet up and exchange travel stories.
We had a short flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap, landing in Cambodia around 8am. When we walked off the plane, it was sunny with a cool morning breeze and we were excited to finally catch a break from the 90+ degree temperatures we experienced in Bangkok.
On our last morning in Chiang Mai we had breakfast at Cafe Arte where we enjoyed some coffee and banana and peanut butter roti topped with chocolate and almonds (dessert for breakfast!). Then we packed up and headed to the airport to set out for our first beach destination: Railay Beach.
