Morocco is a Muslim country and Muslim’s don’t drink. You probably have heard that line many times. Well, it ain’t true. In fact, Morocco has really good alcohol, but you have to know where and what to look for. Moroccans are also discreet about their drinking. You don’t ever see drunk and loud Moroccans laying on the street […]

Forget the Mai Tai, and other cliché cocktails with umbrellas in the glass, and drink some coconut beers in Hawaii. Yes, you read it correctly, they make beer from coconuts in Hawaii.

There are road trips and then there are road trips… this the latter. Although merely a 3 – 4 day loop, the majestic views and the multitude of caves and villages to be explored make it a must for anyone traveling through Laos. We at The Tipsy Gypsies have a great appreciation for temples, museums […]
When you travel, sometimes you either have a long layover or a very short visit in a city. And when this happens, it’s like site seeing on steroids. You scramble to make your wish list of “must sees” and sprint from site to site trying to catch it all. Well this is exactly what happened to […]
The day was finally upon us. Day one of three days of Khmer New Years celebrations. We had been pampered and prepped for the occasion, which you can read about here, but nothing could truly prepare us for the festivities ahead.
