We just took a 200km train trip from Kuala Lumpur to a Malaysian city that’s known as much for its vibrant food and arts scene as for its rich mining history. But we’re here for a different kind of adventure: we’re about to climb, crawl, and swim deep into one of the country’s hottest caves, in an experience that’s sure to be a physical challenge for the entire fam.

This week we’re in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, known as a mecca for soaring skyscrapers, big-budget Hollywood films, and one of the most colorful cultures we’ve encountered in the past 3 years. No place captures the flavor of that culture more than the streets of the city, so we’re braving the humidity, dodging the afternoon showers, and heading out in search of the top sites and bites.

We have another marathon travel day ahead of us as we jump from the Philippines paradise here in El Nido, back to Manila for the better part of the day, and then jet off to Malaysia to mark our 22nd country visited in our worldwide travels. Even if all our flights depart on time, this journey gets us into Kuala Lumpur at 1am.

El Nido isn’t just one of the most popular destinations in the Philippines; it’s also one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. So we’re leaving our beachfront glamping tent for the day and heading out in search of adventure amongst the surrounding islands. But with so many hidden treasures to explore, which will be the most memorable?

It’s been 12 months since our first trip to the Philippines paradise of Palawan. But there’s an even more famous spot in this province and there’s no way we can go another year without seeing for ourselves how it compares.

After spending the past few days hanging out with her best friends in BGC, we’re taking a little day trip well outside of Manila, complements of our new favorite website for Philippines travel and adventure. We’ve left this little day of adventure completely in their capable hands, so the four of us are excited to see what they have in store for us over the next 11 hours.

Since we’ve been spending so much time in the Philippines AND since we’ve been using Manila as a hub for a lot of our Asian travels AND since our good friends from the MomDuty channel have moved back here and encouraged us to be their neighbors, we’ve decided to set up a second home base here in BGC.

We’re heading out on a marathon journey that starts in Denver, Colorado and takes us back to the capital of the Philippines — but over the course of two full days of airports, lounges, hotels, and taxis.

Many Hollywood movies are filmed on sets that appear to be real locations, but Jim Carrey's film The Truman Show was filmed in a real location that they pretended was a Hollywood set. That location, which is called Seahaven in the film, is actually Seaside, Florida, along the state's Emerald Coast (or 30A) and it's one of the most influential and charming towns in the world.

We've been stuck in The States for almost 2 months and eating almost every meal at home. And because food culture is such a big part of our travel adventures, we're all getting a little bit hangry for some of our international favorites.We're not even sure we can make it a couple more weeks until we're back in Southeast Asia, but luckily we just heard about a relatively new filipino restaurant that's just a few minutes' drive from our house. So, of course, we had to come see for ourselves.

In this episode, we're showing off our top 12 travel-friendly products for 2023 (plus a bonus 13th)!

From huge barbecued squid to tiny fried crabs, we’re about to devour another iconic Asian city. On our current trip’s last full day in Southeast Asia, we’re exploring the food, culture, and people of Indonesia at the annual, month-long Jakarta Fair. This IS the Indonesian capital AND the most populous island in the world, so we’re searching for the most highly-recommended sites and bites that represent the vibrant flavor profile of this captivating city. Let’s get to it.

For our last day in Cebu, we’re making our third attempt at swimming with the Philippines’ iconic whale sharks. After canceling our first excursion last year and then coming up empty handed in Donsol a few months ago, we’re really hoping that the third time’s a charm as we head into Oslob this morning.

We're officially back in the Philippines and we're on the southern tip of Cebu. We came back to cash in some rain checks from adventures that we missed on our first trip to the island last year. We are about to go to canyoneering through the rivers, waterfalls, jungles, and—you guessed it—canyons of Alegria.

We’re at Hong Kong airport but not for long because we’re about to hop on a 3-hour flight to take us to Cebu City (one of our favorite places in the world). Then we have a 3:45 minute drive to get us to the southern tip of the island where we’re gonna have an incredible few days at the Fantasy Lodge.

We’ve just finished a phenomenal jaunt through the coast and jungles of Bali, but now we’re leaving Indonesia and heading back to our favorite destination of the Philippines to complete a few Cebu adventures that got caught in the chopping block last year. But it’s not a straight flight and we’re taking two days to get there, so we’re gonna find a way to spend the night in Hong Kong… without leaving the airport, without booking a hotel room, and without causing a kiddo meltdown.

We’re spending the week with our friends from mom duty in an epic Bali jungle villa but really feel like getting out into the surrounding jungles. So, we’ve booked an entire day of family friendly adventure that we hope will give us a new perspective on Ubud.

We’re about to spend 4 days exploring the local scene, adventuring through nature, and kicking back in our private, 6-bedroom villa situated along one of the world’s newest UNESCO world heritage sites.

We just spent 24 hours in the world’s best airport but now we’re flying to the Indonesian island of Bali and this trip is FULL of surprises. Like a last-minute upgrade to a $4,000 a night cliff’s edge villa, to some very special friends making Brooklyn’s 12th birthday one she’ll never forget.

We’ve flown into and out of Singapore’s legendary Changi Airport several times, but always during the wee hours when most of the magic of the Jewel complex was closed for the night. But that streak ends today because we’re spending the next 24 hours next to the best planet!
