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!

Koh Tao - Pictures

Ali on our "beds" for the over-night ferry from the mainland to Koh Tao

Super unclean, super crowded over-night ferry

Ali and I during our Open Water PADI Certification - getting ready to do a dive

checking to make sure the mask is the correct size!



the tank is quite heavy! a little hard to walk around with



All the tanks for the day lined up on the sides of the boat



getting ready to dive - the guy next to me, Graeme, is getting his weight belt ready



our BCD's (Buoyancy Control Devices)


Our PADI Open Water Group 


The boat we went diving on



The night dive during our advanced course - we had a computer monitor and navigation device


Sunset - on the beach outside our resort

The restaurant at Crystal Dive



Our Resort!



Just after checking out we chilled in the bar area and used the internet since we had to kill time before the 2:30pm ferry!



Local boats on the beach

The restaurant that we always ate at - cheap food and movies at night :)
