O My Gosh-avank, It’s Lake Sevan & Dilijan!
Just tried real hard with punning the title just now, with special thanks to Fanny and Mihaela for the inspiration.And about last night... Oh boy.Recovering from a night we'll all joke and laugh about years to come ("happy birthday" Sheryl!...
Geghard Garni-ng All The Levon’
After a long first day in Yerevan, we turned in at around midnight and woke up 8 hours later to catch an early breakfast and get picked up by our local driver Aram, with whom we had coordinated a few days earlier to take us around the outskirts of the...
This Land Is Yerevan, This Land Is My Land
I find it remarkable after 8 years of traveling there remains a tiny "blip" on my map that remains unmarked, nestled among the giants that surround it. Just like with Slovenia, much hype surrounds Armenia as a prime travel destination and yet remains so rarely...

I Ain’t Nara Scurred!
Although Nara was not part of our original itinerary, I decided to add this beautiful little city at the last minute after seeing a possible route through there from Osaka to Kyoto. Nara has the largest number of buildings designated National Treasures...
