When planning our year of nomadic life in Southeast Asia, we knew we would want a couple of locations to stop for a few months.

Hangin’ Out With Friends In Chiang Mai
There is one thing we have noticed the more we travel, we love making new friends. We lived in North Carolina for 12 years and had a handful of people who weren’t just the work or neighbor friends, but good long-lasting friends. In some cases it took many years to slowly cultivate those friendships. Then we moved to Spain and in no time we made those same deep friendships.
