5 Days In Vientiane, Laos
Recently, we had to pop over to Vientiane, Laos for a business trip. Vientiane is the capital of Laos, home to about 800k people. You’d never guess after spending a week there. It feels more like a small town than the country’s largest city. We were there from Sunday to Friday, so we didn’t get…

What the Heck is “Poster Colour” & Finding Art Supplies in Bangkok
As friends and followers well know, I am constantly drawing, painting, and (soon) tattooing. After a hiatus from about 10 years old to 30 years old, I dove back into artwork with both feet at the start of the COVID 19 pandemic in 2019. The story of why I took a break is for another…

The Joys of Extending a Tourist Visa
