Hello and Welcome!

This blog is about the experiences of two sisters as they travel the world on and off over several years. Our blog starts with our first major backpacking trip in 2010 to Southeast Asia. After catching the travel bug, we subsequently explored the world both individually and together. From seeing the colosseum in Rome, to trekking to Manchu Picchu in Peru, to rock climbing in Joshua Tree, we have allowed our experiences to help us grow in few ways other things can. Our goal for this blog is not only to capture our memories, but to share all of our experiences with the people we love! We hope you enjoy!

Taman Negara - Pictures


The dock where the longboat left from

The view from the boat of the river ahead

Some water buffalo along the shore
The view of villiage we stayed in from across the river


our day of hiking though the jungle begins!

hello ali!

big tree :)



largest leaf ever!

Walking up the steps to the Canopy Walkway

there were so many ants. The line extended as far as we could see up and down the hill!

Finally made it to the Canopy Walkway! (a series of bridges that lead through the top jungle canopy)

What is looks like below the canopy - we were pretty high!

View of the canopy from the walkway

Walking back to the hostel we saw some really cool fungi :)

almost blue in colour....

Interesting plant

so pretty :)








An up-rooted tree - this picture shows how large the basic root system was

Some sort of unusual fungi on a log



More unique plants
This jungle is FULL of huge creatures! This ant is bigger than Ali's ring!



Monkey spotted!



Biggest leaves!!
