Eating Through 2015

As I look back on my 2015, I’m struck by the diverse range of experiences I had in the world of food. And because I love lists and record-keeping, I’m sharing my most memorable food experiences of 2015. I’d love for you to share some of your top eats, too! EATING IN ASIA DRINKING FROM COCONUTS IN…

An Afternoon in Angkor Wat

When I was a kid, I came across an old copy of the 1982 May issue of National Geographic. Since that moment, I have never forgotten the enigmatic stone face glaring out from that magazine’s cover and the fantastical images of the jungle-run ruins of Angkor held within its pages. While planning a two week trip to Thailand, I…

A Light in Cambodia’s Dark History

On a blistering hot afternoon in the Cambodian countryside, we walked into a landmine. A landmine museum, that is. About 25 km outside of Siem Reap resides the Cambodia Landmine Museum. This little complex has a big heart for healing war-torn Cambodia and a mission to care for and educate children who have been directly affected…

Instagram post 2193140821275243590_1423227381 Holy smokes, y’all... I am still knee deep in my #Nepal memories and going through my photos. I just came across this one and thought to myself: is that real? Did I take that? 🙋🏼‍♀️ The answers are “yes!” and “yes!” ❣️ I’ve pulled a few of my favorites to include in my next #PostcardfromHailey (whose delivery was delayed by Thanksgiving-turkey-induced laziness) 💌 If you still aren’t on the list, sign up now or leave a comment for me to email you directly! 📥 http://eepurl.com/b8oP2b 🙏 Dhanyabad! ❤️ #CreateConnectNepal #Dhaulagiri #AnnapurnaCircuit #Himalaya #Himalayas

Instagram post 2185055413933158577_1423227381 I felt the mountains tremble. 
I saw them rise from the mist. 
My heart beat wildly. 
Joy and awe, all in one. 🤍

Now that I’m back home, I’m beginning to process my journey through Nepal’s Annapurna Mountains. There’s so much to sift through: emotions, experiences, reflections and observations. I’ll be sharing more in the coming days and weeks here. But if you want more, make sure you’re signed up to receive #PostcardsfromHailey 💌

Instagram post 2183502191430820271_1423227381 I am reaching the end of a wild and wondrous journey. Today, I am saying goodbye to #Nepal and to the #Himalaya #Mountains. Today, I am making my way home. 
I have a lot to share about my adventures on the Photography Workshop & Trekking Tour by @melissafindley & @carmenhuter 🇳🇵I learned so much on our adventure along the Annapurna Circuit and I can’t wait to show you more. 📸 Shout out to my girl @nikitapere_ for snapping this photo of me during our sunrise shooting session atop Poon Hill. Stay tuned for more posts and recounts in my Stories!

Instagram post 2170115198856635537_1423227381 The Burj Khalifa is the tallest man made structure in the world. And my Airbnb bed had a view of it! (See it dead center?) 🇦🇪 Because I tried to get some decent rest on my Dubai layover, I ended only viewing this massive tower from my bedroom window. I had every intention to stand below it and catch the world-famous fountain light show at night, but in the end, I chose to save that experience for another visit someday. But oh, it was tantalizingly close! 💁🏼‍♀️ Have you ever opted out of seeing a sight on your bucket list when you were so near?
Instagram post 2169848736485018730_1423227381 Dubai has been on my Bucket List for a while, and when I saw that I could have an afternoon and night in this sparkling city on my way to Nepal, I knew this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. And since jet lag is real, I also knew I couldn’t see it all. 🌍

So, I opted to go on my first Airbnb “Experience” and I booked a tour of Old Dubai, the historic neighborhood by the creek. It was so pristine that I honestly thought it was a fake, a replica of what once was there, because it felt like a section in a Disney park. But nope, these walls housed Emirati families for generations - until the government declared it a cultural heritage zone and paid to relocate everyone in order to better preserve the neighborhood’s integrity. 🇦🇪 My guide Anisa was a real sweetheart and passionate about sharing the history and customs of the United Arab Emirates. I quickly realized my education on the Gulf States is severely lacking, and although I learned a lot in one evening, I only scratched the surface. 
I guess I’ll have to go back sometime! 
Have you ever traveled somewhere only to realize in the middle of your trip how little you knew about your destination beforehand?
