The Credits: Meet John Monoon, The Coolest Artist In Chiang Mai
I rounded the corner of Thae Pae Rd Soi 3 onto Loi Kroh Rd in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and it was there that it happened. I was drawn into The John Gallery, and I suddenly became Alice falling down the rabbit hole. I found myself in a wonderland of trippy colors, rock lyrics, meteor showers, temples, sunsets and quotes that seemed especially meant for me. For the first ten minutes, I was bizarrely alone in the shop, and I couldn’t help but be entranced. I have always loved quotes. I had a history teacher who instilled that love in me. Every day, that teacher would write a new quote on…

Norwegian Air Review: How My Dreamliner Experience Turned Into A Nightmare
I hate having to write bad reviews, but my Norwegian Air experience was a complete nightmare, and I feel like I owe it to my readers to warn them about flying with Norwegian Air.

More than 200 complaints have been registered with the Transport Complaints Board alone. The board says they have never seen this scope of complaints in a single case. I have read about everything from double-billed credit cards, a loss of air-conditioning on International flights, long delays, and false advertising. As if that’s not enough, there’s even…

6 Things To Do In Sardinia That You Won’t Want To Miss
Sardinia and Sicily are two islands you absolutely shouldn’t miss when you travel to Italy.

Here are 6 things to do in Sardina that you won’t want to miss: 1. Neptune’s Grotto Neptune’s Grotto was the most astonishing cave I’ve ever been to.

The Credits: Meet Tinmyint From Yangon, Myanmar
“I love my wife so much. She is not my wife. She is my wife, and my life. She cooks the curry, and I eat the curry.” Such simple words, but these were the words I most remember Tinmyint, a taxi driver in Yangon, Myanmar speaking to me. He mentioned his wife several times during our time together, and I couldn’t help but think of how few men praised their wives to perfect strangers. We had met under unusual circumstances, Tinmyint and me. I had suffered a long night of food poisoning. The conditions in most of Myanmar are less than sanitary. I had been warned before coming, and had…
