Everyone wants to visit Glacier National Park…like 3 million people a year. But what many park-goers don’t realize is that most of Western Montana was carved by the same glacial activity, offering stunning mountains, lakes, rivers, and forests with a fraction of the tourists. To help more people discover the lesser-known gems and keep them […]

They call Guyana, “South America Undiscovered,” and it felt that way as we splashed down red dirt roads, paddled dugout canoes to remote indigenous villages, and saw more tropical birds than tourists. Over 85% of the country is pure rainforest and, as part of the Guiana Shield, a 1.7-billion-year-old geological formation with over 3,000 vertebrate […]

After 19 years, I finally went back to Ko Lipe, the Thai island I spent close to a month on in 2006. Back then, it was one of those super off-the-beaten-path destinations that few but the most intrepid travelers visited, where electricity only ran a few hours a day, basic bungalows right on the beach […]

I’ve been in love with France ever since my first trip to Bordeaux in 2010. Friends I had met back in Thailand showed me around the area and introduced me to French culture. It was my first time in France and I loved the food, the wine, and the people. But that love became an […]

“So, you two are in Chicago and driving to LA…are you gonna take Route 66?” My dad posed this question, and we felt silly that taking the country’s most iconic road trip hadn’t even crossed our minds. We had just hit our 50th state, and the Main Street of America was a brilliant homecoming. Zigzagging […]

2025 was a record-breaking year of travel in HoneyTrek Land. Traveling to 29 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, North America, and South America, we took on the world with as much gusto and gumption as we did the day we left on our honeymoon. Why such a whirlwind tour? We’ve been diligently researching […]

Since we began our around-the-world journey back in January 2012, we have taken a truck-load of photographs and created thousands of important files and documents. People often ask us how we back up and access this massive volume of data. Up until a few weeks ago, our answer was always Dropbox. But now, HoneyTrek has […]

A few months ago, the folks at the McCann Erickson (one the largest advertising agencies in the world), reached out to us. They said they were working on a Microsoft television campaign, showcasing how real people use PCs to achieve their passion, and they thought HoneyTrek could be a good fit. Flattered and flabbergasted, we […]

Tokyo is one of those cities that feels endlessly deep. You can visit a dozen times and still discover new food stalls, hidden shrines, late-night bars, quirky subcultures, and neighborhoods that feel like completely different worlds. (I know because I’ve visited about 10 times already!) One of my favorite ways to explore Tokyo is by […]

Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia Chile is an incredible region with raw beauty at every turn with ice fields, glacial lakes, unique wildlife, and extreme mountains. We were lucky enough to spend four days here at EcoCamp and experience a sampling of all the park has to offer in 2012 and again in […]
