Volunteering in Oudomxay, Laos

Posted on February 2, 2019April 1, 2019 by Jason Andrews

If you are asking: where is Oudomxay? Then you are asking the same question we had for several months. The answer is: it’s where very few tourists go. Oudomxay is a province in northern Laos centered approximately around the city of Muang Xai, which is 55 miles northwest of Luang Prabang near the border of…

Traveling With Teens for Three Months in SE Asia – The Journey So Far

Posted on January 24, 2019April 1, 2019 by Jason Andrews

As I write this it is day 60 of our 99 days in SE Asia. On the road and online you meet many fellow travelers. You swap stories and learn from their successes and failures. Most travelers are in their 20s or 30s and are taking a gap year in school or in life. It’s…

Journey to Freedom – Elephant Nature Park

Posted on January 10, 2019April 1, 2019 by Jason Andrews

There are few times when you can reflect back and pick a week that was fundamentally transformational. For this family, Journey to Freedom was one of those weeks. Journey to Freedom is part of the Elephant Nature Park, an organization dedicated to the preservation of elephants. We picked this program because it had a service…

Japan

Posted on December 14, 2018December 14, 2018 by Jason Andrews

We have just wrapped up the second leg of our “Cold Weather” trip having spent the past week exploring Kyoto and Tokyo.   Our arrival into Osaka from Busan and transport to Kyoto was pretty smooth and painless, with the only challenge being the final AirBnB check in under a driving rain.  We stayed in…

Korea DMZ

Posted on December 7, 2018December 7, 2018 by Jason Andrews

The Korea DMZ (demilitarized zone) splits the country in half and is located a few tens of kilometers north of Seoul.  For my generation the Korean War is somewhat lost to history, obscured between World War II and more modern conflicts such as the Vietnam and Gulf Wars.  Our only context is faint childhood memories…

Off to College – Part 2

Posted on December 4, 2018December 4, 2018 by Jason Andrews

Following up the previous post, Spaceflight’s SSO-A mission was a complete success.  Here’s a great video from SpaceX on the first part of the mission, which is the ride into orbit.  There is no video from the second part of the mission, which is the deployment of 64 spacecraft.  However, telemetry has confirmed this happened…

Seoul Thoughts

Posted on December 2, 2018December 2, 2018 by Jason Andrews

Our first week in Korea was spent in the bustling city of Seoul. We came, we ate, we conquered. While we hit some of the top “things to do” such as the Imperial Palace and the DMZ, and enjoyed them immensely, it was the spontaneous adventures that we loved most.   On the first day…

Off to College

Posted on December 2, 2018December 2, 2018 by Jason Andrews

This trip marks the beginning of the next chapter. But it will take time to move on from the last one: Marian and I spent the better part of 20 years building an amazing company and made the difficult decision to exit it entirely this summer (due to a number of factors our final separation…

The Next Chapter

Posted on November 22, 2018November 30, 2018 by admin

We are starting a blog for our trip, and really, for the next chapter in our lives. After twenty years of working together, creating companies and raising three children, now young adults, we have decided to travel for three months to Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. This is a way to share our travels; the…
