one night in paradise: yasawa island resort & spa
There’s no question: part of the allure of Fiji is the feeling of being completely and totally remote. If ever there was a place to encapsulate that feeling, it’s the Yasawa Island Resort & Spa. Anyone who has been to Fiji has told us to go as far out on the Yasawas as possible. This advice is the main reason we chose to visit both Nacula and Yasawa Island. Map of the Yasawa Islands thanks to SSC. Yasawa Island is just past Nacula Island at the tippy, tippy top… Yasawa Island is so far out that SSC doesn’t even offer transfers to…

#LTGoWithOh bucket list item 7
We hear that Eastern Europe is one of the best destinations for beer lovers. So, it should be no surprise that this next item made it on our #LTgowithoh bucket list: Drink a pint (or two) of beer in a Viennese Beer Hall. When it comes to drinks, we don’t really discriminate. Unless, like, fruit-flavored vodka is involved because, yuck. Ok, so maybe we do discriminate? ANYWAY. POINT BEING. We don’t exclusively drink red wine, contrary to popular belief. That’s why we’re VERY excited to give the Austrian beer scene a go. While conducting our very important Vienna research, we…

bula, bula nacula island!
Of the 332+ islands that make up the country of Fiji, there is one little set of twenty that most travelers will tell you is an absolute must-see: the Yasawa Islands. After our first few days exploring the main island of Viti Levu, we woke up bright and early to (sadly) depart First Landing and head to the port at Denarau. Though there are a variety of plane and boat charter options, the best bet for the budget-conscious is to book your Yasawa Transfers through South Sea Cruises. SSC is the company that also oversees Awesome Adventures—a super backpacker-friendly option that…

style spotter: marina bay sands hotel, singapore
During our recent 48 hour whirlwind tour of Singapore, the hubs and I made the mistake of heading up to the roof of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. I say mistake because alas, our budget did not allow for an actual room in the hotel. This means it also did not allow for any time whatsoever spent lounging by their amazing infinity pool. You know the one. Surely, you’ve seen the pictures? But just in case, here she is. Overlooking all of Singapore: Naturally, those who were swimming were dressed to the nines. They were the type of people who…

#LTGoWithOh bucket list item 6
It’s that time, lil travelers! We’re ready to spill our very next #LTGoWithOh bucket list item. Believe it or not, we’re both pretty good in the kitchen. Yes, we tend to think we’re even better depending on the amount of wine consumed. But who doesn’t? One category we haven’t tried to master, however, is pastries. There’s just like, a lot of measuring involved. It seems like it takes a lot of PLANNING, you know? But when in Rome and all of that… Yes, that’s right. We have decided if we’re going to be in the city of strudel HEAVEN, we’re…
