I love books; I don’t know how many books are “enough”. Today I’m sharing with you a wealth of resources for teaching children about Asian culture.
First, from Barefoot Books, a publisher with heaps of respectable titles for instilling culture into young minds, is Lin Yi’s Lantern, a tale of the Chinese Moon Festival (not the same [...]

Laos is a fantastic place to visit. Places like Bangkok or Chiang Mai, Thailand, Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam have their charms but are undeniably saturated with western influence.
Even after 9 years in Laos, I can still say that it is relatively “off the map”. In Luang Prabang, in Pakse, and yes, even [...]

I fly internationally several times a year. My first international flight as a parent was with a seven week old infant. I don’t know how the idea was originally planted in my mind, but like many parents I became fixated on scoring the bulkhead row for my baby.

Are you going to the beach this summer?
There are people in the world that criticize the very act of traveling because of the “carbon footprint” produced by getting to a faraway destination.
I’m not ready to give up travel, but I starting thinking about what changes we could make in order to be more eco-friendly on [...]
