From my experience, one either loves Chacos or they intensely despise them. My field hockey team is a great example of these different opinions. As soon as I found out that I would be studying abroad in Thailand, I started research on what to pack. After reading multiple blogs and articles I found that Chacos are the shoe to pack for months in Thailand, so I jumped on the bandwagon. Since that moment, I have taken my Chacos on most of my adventures abroad and created a photo journal to share with others!

In certain spots on the river the water was too low and we had to get off the bamboo raft and walk for a little. (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

After a long day playing with elephants, we relaxed by the side of this amazing waterfall. (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

My feet are a little dirty, but what can you expect when you go on a three-hour hike? (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

Not only did the shoes help me survive the three-hour hike, but also managed to help me on the two-hour mountain bike! (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

Yes, my feet are gross. This was after the three-hour hike and two-hour mountain biking! Despite the vigorous activities, I did not have a single blister! (Just extremely dirty feet.) (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

Meeting new friends with my Chacos. This little guy hopped up on my leg and I thought my dad threw mud at me. Good thing I didn't try to wipe the "mud" off! (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

My chacos just love the beach! (Sanur Beach, Bali, Indonesia)

Trying not to fall over into the mud as I try to get a better picture with the Rice Terrace. (Ubud, Bali, Indonesia)

I just love hiking to waterfalls with my chacos! (Tegenungan Waterfall, Bali, Indonesia)

Didn't I say we liked the beach? (Railey Beach, Krabi, Thailand)

Although I went a gazillion other places, I didn't always find the time to stop and take a picture. My shoes have come a long way since I got them last Christmas and I wouldn't trade them for anything. Just exploring Thailand with the best possible shoes!
