Featured Post: The Great Durian Quest Part 1 - Durian Cream Puff
In South East Asia, most people run away from Durian. But me on the other hand, I sought it out.
But before trying the fruit, my first entry into the quest was for Dur ian Cream Puff. Putrid or
delicious? Find out in the video!

One Year of Travel Hacking - Credit Card Rewards PointsUpdate
Last year we published an article about three credit
cards we were looking at opening in order to start our
mass ive mileage run. While we will never be extreme
hackers that open dozens of cards across different
networks, we saw benefit in opening a select few to
help fund out future travel plans without being tied
down to many new cards we never plan to use. Our
goal for the year and a half that followed was to use
these cards as much as possible on our everyday
expenses in order to amass over 300,000 airline
miles and >$750 in free cash to travel on. How are
we doing with our goal? Well, as it stands right now
we're almost at our target and haven't even finished opening half our accounts! (Photo "Mock Credit Card" by

It is a common theme on this blog for me to talk
about how hard of time I had finding food suitable
to my tastes while in China. Between days of
being sick or being in a travel rut after 60 days of
continually moving I would be lying if I said that I
didn't hit McDonald's a few (dozen) times tocope. But while I like to play up these stories in
my articles I am really doing a disservice to China
by not taking a minute to look at the other side of
the spectrum. There is actually some good food
in China. Really good food. In fact, a few of the
dishes I had in China were far better than anything
I could have imagined, and it is time I shared them all with you. Prepare to drool, because today we will only
be talking about the good foods I had while spending a month in China.

The drive from the Loreto airport in Baja,
Mexico, to the Villa del Palmarresort is
simply stunning: rocky mountains rise up all
around, and glimpses of the pristine Sea of
Cortez abound. You know when you get that
warm feeling inside like what's about to
happen is going to be fantastic? Yep, that's
what I was feeling. As beautiful as this drive
was, nothing prepared me for the beauty that
awaited me at the Villa del Palmar at the
Islands of Loreto resort.

Tips and Traps on Staying Healthy While Traveling
Often the last item on any traveler's mind is
personal health. Sure, we all get vaccinations
and avoid drinking local water sources in an effort
to not get sick, but personal health goes well
beyond that. With the busy and often hurried
lifestyle of traveling, the other aspects of physical
health like eating right and getting enough
exercise goes straight out the window. We are
guilty of this just as much as the next traveler as
it is incredibly easy to fall into common traps that

7 Reasons a 7 Day Caribbean Cruise is for You
We are big fans of the cruising lifestyle here at
Living the Dream and have been on 3 amazing
itineraries throughout the Caribbean and are
considering a fourth to Alaska in the near future.
While we are primarily a backpacking and
adventure travel blog, we often like to talk about
why you should consider a cruise for both short
vacations and inclusions in a long-term
adventure. But us talk ing about how much we
enjoy cruising is not going to convince you to
book a trip. We've done that enough in our older
posts. Instead, it is the destinations themselves
that must do the talking. To do so, we picked
our 7 favorite reasons to help make our argument.

Introducing the Living the Dream Network
We are pretty excited about the new developments that have been going on in the background here at Living
the Dream. After several months of work, and a few new sites to show for it, we are ready to share some of our
newest features and plans! While we still have a bit of work ahead of us to finish our modifications, we want to
go ahead and get started by introducing the Living the Dream Network.

In Travel, Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
When we travel there are destinations that just
don't seem to do itfor us. It is one of the
eventualities of travel in that not every place will
live up to your expectations and you may not get
the full benefit of being there. You may be sick
and not do justice to a city, or you may be in a
travel rut and take it out on the place you just
happen to be in at the time. Of course, there is
the other eventuality that you simply do not likewhere you are at. They can all happen at any
time.
We tend to take these destinations in stride
because one of our major travel mantras is that a
poor experience abroad is often still more enjoyable than being at home working. But what happens when
those poor experiences start fading away over time? As it turns out we end up starting to like the destination
more in retrospect and, as the saying goes, absence truly does make the heart grow fonder. But why is that
the case?

Although our visit to Paris is not until June, I am
already salivating at the thought of all the
delicious food we will hopefully eat while there.
When I started researching restaurants and other
food establishments in Paris, I began with the
most near and dear to my heart: bakeries and
patisseries. While there may seemingly be a
bakery on every corner in Paris, they are certainly
not all created equal. I spent a huge chunk of time
researching the best places to get baguettes and
baked goods. And because I guess we will have
to eat something besides pastries at some point,
I've also included a list of crepe places, cheese shops, coffee shops, and affordable wine bars and restaurants -
most of which are under 20 Euro per person.

Angie Taking Photos of Things - Spain Edition
As you may imagine, Angie and I take a lot of
photos when we travel. Partly because we like
photography, but also because we are bloggers
and want to make sure we have enough images to
cover anything we want to write about in the
future. Not only do we take thousands of the
beautiful spots we visit (at last count we are at
over 30,000) but we also take dozens of

find on a traditional post on this site. This series
serves as an outlet for one of those photo sets.
While on our honeymoon in Spain last year, I
started taking photos of Angie while she was in the act of taking photos of the amazing destinations we were
exploring. In what was just a off-hand set of photos to be goofy turned into a habit that I've been carrying on to
this very day. Rather than keeping these photos to ourselves, we will now be sharing them periodically here for

Day Trip to the Columbia Icefields from Lake Louise
Back in 2010 I had finally got enough reward
miles for a frequent flyer ticket anywhere in the
USA and Canada. Naturally I booked one of the
most expensive tickets that I could get my hands
on, and ended up on a short trip to Banff National
Park in Alberta, Canada. Between the stunning
vistas of Lake Louise and the gorgeous hikes near
Banff National Park, I could easily see why this
park is one my Canadian friends are most proud
of. While in Lake Louise, I decided to take a day
trip further north, almost to the entrance of nearby
Jasper National Park to explore the Columbia

trip I boarded the coach in the early morning to see what the icefields were all about.

Goa has a rich multicultural heritage and a
tradition of embracing different faiths. If you travel
here then you can expect to meet people with
Portuguese, British and Indian ancestries. You
will also come across churches, mosques and
other spiritual places that are used on a regular
basis. For a real insight into the special identity of
Goa you should check out some the festivals
happening in 2013 as they highlight what living inGoa really is all about. Who knows, you may
even find us there later this year too! (Photo

Whats Open Around Christmas in Tenerife?
For visitors who like gourmet food for Christmas,
there is El Rincon de Juan Carlos in Los Gigantes
which has three Michelin stars, so they can treat
themselves and their families to the best food in the
world for Christmas.
Some people like to pamper themselves for
Christmas and there is no better way to pamper
oneself than to stay at one of Tenerifes luxury five-
star hotels. The Hotel Sir Anthony is very popular
example of this and has direct access to the
Camison beach and fabulous views of the island.

The best way to see a country like Vietnam for
the first time is to join up with an organized tour
or, if youre set on striking out on your own, to do
some serious research beforehand in order to
pack as much in as you can manage. Travel to
Vietnam with a tailor made itinerary and you can
take advantage of its unique shape anddemarcated regions to create a remarkable

The Secret to Not Running Up a Huge Cell Phone BillWhen Backpacking
While the term bill shock is becoming a widely
used term, it seems that little is being done to
protect us against painful international roaming
charges on cell phone bills. Many companies do
not even send warnings to their users, notifying
them that their bill is running in to $1000s whilst
away on vacation like this unlucky lady from the
UK. Without being the wiser, you may go off on
your next budget vacation with your phone and
return with a bill almost as big as the whole trip!
But there are many ways to protect yourself when
traveling with your phone to keep the bill down as
low as possible

It was a good thing that Barcelona was the last
stop on our honeymoon, because almost any
experience would have been a let-down after
visiting La Boqueria, the huge foodies paradise
market featuring over 250 vendors selling
everything from offal to olives. This place is
massive: there are 20+ vendors that sell
charcuterie alone, over 40 fish vendors, over 60
fruit vendors, and the list goes on and on. With alist like that it isn't surprising that we chose our
hotel location purely to be within walking distance
of the market, and explore it we did on our four
days in the city.

ends in 'Y' but occasional spa breaks in London
or your nearest major city is a relaxing getaway
that doesn't always have to break the bank!
But how do you choose the best spa treatment to

Monte Carlo Without Breaking the Bank
Today's Post is a guest post by Jeremy Head.
The tiny principality of Monaco, neighbor to Nice
on Frances Cote dAzur, is home to billionaires,
tax-evaders and celebrities alike, as well as a
Grand Prix and, in its main central district of
Monte Carlo, a famous casino: it s not an obvious
choice of destination for budget travelers.
However, you dont have to be banking a seven-
figure Christmas bonus, lucking out on the lottery
or be in possession of a Coutts credit card to
enjoy the spectacle. (Photo "Monte Carlo" by

If you are a fan of our blog's Facebook page, you
likely are well aware that I have been going up to
Northern Canada for my day job several times this
year. My latest trip in particular had some interesting
experiences associated with it as the time of year
was quickly reaching the winter solstice. The
occasional -30C (-22F) temperature was not enough
to make me terribly upset, and missing the northern
lights is something I am still considering booking a
future trip for. But it was another location based
experience that really threw my whole life upside
down over the duration of the trip. As it turns out,

rail passes from companies like Eurail that offer
multiple regional segments or full unlimited use
passes on many rail networks throughout most of the
countries in Europe. I know from experience that
many travelers are hesitant on purchasing a rail pass
for a number of reasons, with rigidity and limitations
being a few of the biggest. But for all those who can
get past these minor details, a lot of effort is requiredin identifying the best pass and even if a rail pass is
worth the money at all! To help, we've put together
this post as a result of our years of research on
Europe's ultimate t ravel question: to Eurail or not to Eurail? (Photo "Railway Tracks" by fcl1971)

New Electronics Acquisition for Travel
It is a rare time for us here at Living the Dream. We are about ready to undertake our once every half-decade
upgrade of our electronic arsenal! Yes, you read that right. We do not update our electronics collection very
often. In fact, most of the work we do for this site is on a computer that is over 10 years old and still k icking.
It is not that we do not want the most up-to-date gadget on the market, but rather than update every year likemany people do, we want to spend that money on things like travel and more travel.
But with all things, our electronics die. My dive camera bit the bucket while in Thailand in 2010 and I never had
a reason to replace it until now. One netbook was always good for me when traveling solo, but alas Angie is
now apart of the team (yay!) and we need two computers and more computing power. So, with that, our
collection needs to expand and we are about to go on a shopping spree.
This is our tentative purchase list and we are looking to you to let us know if we are making the right choice!

Another business trip came and went for my day
job, and I found myself in a unique scenario that
has never happened before. I was upgraded! Not
just to economy plus, which boasts a few extra
inches of legroom, but to full business class;
something I've never had without rewards points or
discount code. While I was only on a 4 hour flight
from Chicago to Edmonton on this particular flight,a business class update meant new perks that
I've never had before. But what it is it like exact ly
when flying on a cross-country business class
flight? Well, as it turns out, not much different
than you would think.
The following are the major perks and drawbacks of a 4 hour business c lass flight that I experienced on my
recent upgrade. Note that these perks may be different depending on your airline of choice, model plane, and
other factors unique to your personal situation. (Photo "United CRJ-700" by redlegsfan21)

Spanish Charcuterie: A Love Story
Perhaps one of the most distinctive features of

The Best Christmas Markets in Europe
Christmas is a time to deck the halls, to pop the
champagne cork, to gorge on mince pies and
sherry, to hang the Christmas garlands stuffedwith variegated ivy, glossy holly, and sprigs of
fragrant conifer dotted with bright red berries and
shiny ribbon. Its also a fantastic time to pack up
the family, or treat your partner, hop on a plane,
and visit some Christmas markets. Theyre great
places not just to buy gifts for friends and family,
but as cultural bases for short breaks, offering you
a snow-laden window through which to glimpse
the culture of the countries that each marketrepresents. Lets dive straight in with some of our favorite European Christmas markets. (Photo "Covent Garden

that is served in the traditional Thanksgiving meal.
In fact, for someone who loves food so much it is
kind of ironic that Thanksgiving is my least favorite
American holiday. Why is this the case? It is
hard to say for sure as my tastes have become
so varied through travel that I often find myself
dreading having this predictable meal at the same
time every year.
But what if I had control of the menu for the yearly
feast? Well, you can imagine that the best
cuisine in the world would take center stage. While not every food item featured in this post would make it into
the final menu, you can be sure that these are the biggest contenders.

It is that time of year again. The US holiday of

am not a huge fan of the holiday itself (other than
the two days off at our day jobs), I always havesomething to be thankful for. This year in
particular I am brought to one of the simplest
items that anyone can own but at the same time
is one of the most powerful. An item so essential

One of my favorite things about going on a long-
term, around the world (RTW) t rip is the
comments I get from others about the whole
thing. Not the supportive "that is awesome"
comments, those are pretty amazing, but thecomments that are negative about the whole
experience. It seems like no matter who you
interact with, someone will turn sour on you every
once in a while.
We can shrug these comments off without taking
them seriously, but there are others who hear
negativity and begin to second guess their desire
to go on a RTW trip. Yes, indecisive RTWer, this post is for you. Rather than repeat what is already known,we want to speak directly to those who are on the fence on long-term travel to try and dispel some myths to
get you back on track to a RTW journey of a lifetime! To do that, we need to take a look at some of the
arguments you've likely already heard, and why they are absolutely pointless if travel is your number one
dream.

bagels, street food, and ice cream/gelato. A
perfect first entry into theAngie Eats.... series.
Trying to fit this much food in a small amount of
time was no easy task and required much
research before the trip (and much, much more
than three meals a day). Since we were staying in
Greenwich Village, most of our research centered
around the West Village and the East Village.
But since we like to explore, restaurants from all
over New York are featured.
Below is a map of all the restaurants that we investigated and considered visiting prior to our trip. While we did
not make it to all of the restaurants featured in the lis t before, this was our starting point when exploring the
New York food scene. The restaurants and their color coding follows.

Top 7 Unconventional Tips to Make Business TravelMore Pleasant
Lately I have been traveling a lot for my day job,
darting across the continent and back for extended
periods at a time (2+ weeks). The one thing I can
say about this kind of lifestyle is that being away
from home up to 30% of the time for work is
exhausting. With 12 hour days and not a day off in
half a month, you begin to feel the effect of the hours

make business t ravel more pleasant which have
really saved my sanity and well being on the last few
trips.
The following tips are highly unconventional and not for everyone as they are based on my own personal
business travel preferences. Your work schedule and my work schedule could be completely different. A 2
day trip for work has far different dynamics than a 14 day trip, so the tips that suit your style may be reflective
of that. In any event, the root of all of the tips featured in this post hold true for most all business t ravelers -
relax, take it easy, and travel for work will take care of you as a reward. (Photo "Old Briefcase with

As you are aware, we picked the former with our 2

history that we barely had a moment to sit down
and relax. But what about the adventure side?
As it turns out, we looked at a number of possible adventure destinations for our honeymoon and highly

5 Things Financially You Should Do Before You GoTraveling
One of the most fundamental things all travelers
have to deal with is money. How to get it, how tokeep it, where to spend it, how to minimize the
amount you spend. This list could go on and on.
You may have your own tricks to increase your
savings account over time for a trip, but all short-
term and long-term travelers face the same
hardships of money management if not
addressing the situation from the right angle.

Introducing Our Newest Site - Trust a Traveler!
If you've been wondering why its been a little quiet around
here for the past month or so, you're not alone. To put it
simply, we've been busy putting togethera new project!
Our new site is called Trust a Travelerand is set to be a
unique reviews and recommendations database built
entirely by verified members of the travel writing
community!
Why is Trust So Important?
When it comes to trust, there are only a handful of ways
someone can have yours. Some of those include honesty
and a historical record to fall back on. When you look at
online reviews, these two categories of t rust are often
missing. Who is the person giving the review? What made them give a thumbs up or thumbs down? Often
these questions go unanswered, and faith in a review becomes hindered. Trust a Travelwas built to fix this
problem, with travel writers and bloggers being the solution.

feel in some places, yet small enough that you
can walk it if you are looking for a full day. Not
only that, there are numerous aspects of
Japanese culture that can be found lurking in
various corners of the city. Want a monkey
park? Check the outskirts of town right near the
Bamboo forest. Want to find amazing temples?
Go to Ryoanji Temple or Kinkakuji Temple. Want
to find a geisha? Go to the Gion District.
But in a city that has has many of the major
Japanese highlights in such a small area, there is a downside. The crowds. This is especially evident for
those on the hunt for a geisha in the Gion District as you will never be the only one who has the thought of
exploring the neighborhood in hopes of catching a photo of this elusive Japanese profession. The crowds for
this sight can be so large, in fact, that I gave up in my hunt for a geisha and instead began to hunt the other
travelers who were searching for the elusive photo. The hunt for the geisha hunters begins.

year's historic games is not the finale of London's
2012 events. In fact, you could say the city is
going on just like the games never happened with
the number of festivals, shows, and celebrations
taking place in the city between now and the end
of 2012. Since so much talk and emphasis has
been put on the Olympic games this year, we feel
it is necessary to take a look beyond the
headliner and to find out what great events make
London worth visiting even though the Olympics
have came and went. Get ready, the following
events will make you want to book flights to
London right away as some of the festivities begin even this week!

Oddities of the Egyptian Museum
Out of all of the museums I have visited in the
world, only one can stand out as being my
favorite. No, it is not the Louvre or the Met,
although each have massive wings dedicated to
this specific culture. My absolute favorite
museum anywhere in the world is none other than
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo!
It shouldn't be any surprise that the Egyptian
Museum is my favorite, I was dreaming about
visiting Egypt ever since I was a kid and finally
made it there in 2009. After taking my first step
in the museum, I knew that this one was going to
be different. Several hours of exploring later, I realized that the Egyptian Museum is quite poss ibly the most
unique major museum in the world and the oddities it contains are something you must truly see to believe.

3 Ways to Keep Connected on the Road
We are not big on staying in contact on the road if we're only gone for a couple of weeks, but as the trips get
longer and longer the need to connect with friends and family increases exponentially. Between crossing
thousands of miles of land, being away for weeks or months, and generally being in places where no one
knows where you are, it is a good idea to phone home once in a while.

We've tried nearly every method of making international calls on the road and have put together the best three
ways to keep connected while on the road. You may pick only one of these, or a combination of the three. But
each serves their purpose quite well and should be considered by all travelers when heading out the door to a
foreign destination, whether it be for a few days or a few years.
