The Sunday Brunch You Shouldn’t Miss In Bangkok At Plaza Athenee
First of all, I absolutely love Sunday brunch. I’ve been to quite a few, but I’ve never been to a better Sunday brunch than the one I went to at the Rain Tree Cafe at the Plaza Athenee in Bangkok. Is it hedonistic and over-the-top lavish? Why, yes. Yes, it is. So make sure you arrive hungry and with your palate ready for tasting. There are so many choices that the brunch buffet takes up three rooms. My favorite station was the seafood station which offered sashimi, King crab, prawns, scallops, and more.

Being Back In San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
I have made it back to San Miguel de Allende, and it really has felt like coming home! In my last blog post, Going Home, I wrote, “I want to live a life where I awaken to hot air balloons in the bluest sky I’ve ever seen, and I have time to enjoy them. I want to be still. I want to notice. I want to stop chasing after the world. I want to let the world come to me.” The Perfect View In San Miguel de Allende I found the perfect apartment here, that allows me to see the hot air balloons gliding over this beautiful town each morning and…

Going Home To San Miguel de Allende-An Update
“Happiness doesn’t lie in conspicuous consumption and the relentless amassing of useless crap. Happiness lies in the person sitting beside you and your ability to talk to them. Happiness is clear-headed human interaction and empathy. Happiness is home. And home is not a house-home is a mythological conceit. It is a state of mind. A place of communion and unconditional love. It is where, when you cross its threshold, you finally feel at peace.” ― Dennis Lehane 2014 has been quite a year. It’s been full of adventure both exciting and uncomfortable, utopian islands like Ibiza, stunning beaches in Portugal, living in Thailand during a military coup, and stunning sunrises in Nepal. I…
