Today's travel photo is of the viharn at the Buddhist temple of Wat Chiang Mun in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Wat Chiang Mun was originally built in 1297 at the founding of the city, making it the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. You could easily spend a couple of days temple hopping around the city, but [...]
Malaysia as a whole country is interesting due to its mix of different cultures and religions, but there are few better examples of this than the city of George Town on the island of Penang. Due to its history as an important trading port, people came from many parts of the world to settle here, [...]
Today's travel photo is of a Masai man demonstrating how to start a fire using donkey dung in their village near Lake Manyara, Tanzania. Visiting this Masai village was a great experience for me, as the people showed us around their village and gave us a look into the lives and culture of the Masai [...]
Today's travel photo is of some beautiful Hindu art at Sri Mahamariamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Built in 1873, Sri Mahamariamman is the oldest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur. Something I love about Hindu temples is all of the amazing bright colours, particularly in the artwork. This temple is located in Chinatown, so if you're in [...]

I hugged the side of the road as cars and motorbikes zoomed past me. I was used to riding a scooter now in Asia, but I still refused to go much faster than 60kph, even on a main road like this one. I felt my wife's fingers dig into me each time a truck or [...]
Today's travel photo is of some deep fried street food snacks at the Sunday Night Market in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Although I'm not much of a shopper, I love visiting markets in Asia simply for the food. Chiang Mai has lots of markets, so I was always kept happy. The Sunday Night Market is popular [...]
Today's travel photo is of some dramatic rocky coastline on Rottnest Island, Western Australia. Growing up in Perth, I have visited Rottnest Island a few times, located only a half hour ferry ride away from Fremantle. I visited again recently and had a great time cycling around the island with my wife and brother-in-law. Rottnest [...]
Today's travel photo is of some rice fields on the rural island of Koh Trong, Cambodia.
