Aww! We are traveling again!! It feels so good–I mean that’s why we do what we do for almost 25 years now. We became international teachers back in 1997 and have stayed with this career for many reason, but one of them is travel. With flights not really being a feasible way to travel theseContinue reading Road Trip to Baños
Kremb de la Kremb Carving and Louella Odié in Boracay I’ve finally figured out what’s been bugging me: I don’t know when we will be able to travel again. We are a family that works hard in anticipation of the next vacation. It’s been Kevin and my way of life for over 20 years. It’sContinue reading When will I travel again?
Hoi An, as mentioned in this post, is famous for its tailoring. Basically every other store is a tailor shop and even when you walk into say an eyeglass store, there are tailors in the back sewing. (This is example is true; it happened to Kevin.) Much of what is seen on the mannequins outsideContinue reading Tailored Red Floral Dress
My family and I just spent an amazing week in Hoi An, Vietnam. Our days began with delicious Vietnamese coffees and chocolate filled croissants, followed with bike rides to and from town, then afternoons lounging at the beach, and finally evenings ending with walks and dinner in the lantern lit town. Each day was spentContinue reading Hoi An, the Lantern City
It’s rather early this month, but here we are on the last Friday of October. I have to be honest with you my readers: I’ve been looking forward to sharing what I’ve been up to all month long. There has been so much good stuff. I don’t even know when and where or what toContinue reading What I’ve Been Up To This October
This was my travel outfit to and from Bali. The pants were perfect and very Balinese–even though they’re from Zara. I carried my straw beach bag as a carry on which is actually perfect for throwing all that’s needed in transit below my seat. The flip flops, well they’re a staple in Southeast Asia. IContinue reading A Bali OOTD
I should have known…. we’ve been to this very spot before and like the last time we were here, my pictures are not uploading. Since I can really sense I have a bunch of you tuning in for new posts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I do not want to leave you hanging. Here’s theContinue reading October Break at Amertha Villas in Bali
It always makes me sad when it’s time for a new passport. I love my passport, my well-travelled passport. It has so many stamps and visas in it; my passport has even had pages added to it, TWICE! I’ve been all over Asia on this passport, and I hate to give it up. I becomeContinue reading Time for a New Passport
I am so lucky that traveling is such a part of my life! Somehow Kevin and I made this incredible lifestyle that allows for travel during the school year and then some more during out summers. (I can say with confidence that being an international educator is one of the best jobs in the world–atContinue reading Can we move to Santa Barbara?
Oh Hey Vacay! Yes, it’s true: it’s been quiet over here on Kremb de la Kremb because I have been on vacation. I went to Santa Barbara with every intention of getting a post out while I was down there, but in the end…well, I enjoyed my vacation with my in-laws. We always have suchContinue reading Oh Hey Vacay!
There are so many mothers out there. There are so many mothers in my own life: my mom, my godmother, my mother-in-law, my sisters, sister-in-laws. There are all my aunties and girlfriends. There are the women who may or may not have children, yet they still mother. Mothering is an instinctual part of being female.Continue reading So Many Mothers
For my birthday, celebrated in Luang Prabang, Laos, we all went to cooking school. It was such fun, and of course very, very delicious. Any good cooking school starts with the local market–in which we had an extensive visit. It was so fascinating, super colorful, and full of smells, both good and bad! The actualContinue reading Cooking School in Luang Prabang
