M-Yum Travels

Every now and then I get this itch to break free from the everyday mundane life so my husband and I  decided to go on a spontaneous trip to Costa Rica! We weren't sure where we wanted to go at first so we checked out Groupon for deals and ideas.  There were some pretty great deals for Costa Rica through some travel agencies but after researching about them we decided to plan our own trip.

If I were to describe Thailand in the simplest form I would say it is a mix between Indian and Chinese culture (no offense to the Thai).  The clothing, religion, culture reminded me very much of the Indian culture. Also probably because there were a lot of Indo-Paks there haha. Anyway, I digress. As most newlyweds, we were looking for cheap places to travel for our first adventure together and we came across a Groupon deal for 11 Days in Thailand with Affordable Asia Tours. Yes, you read that right. We bought our honeymoon trip from GROUPON. Because we are Brown and we like deals, who doesn't? :) Even though we had an AH-mazing time, we also learned a few things. We are no
