Kampot is a sleepy little riverside town in Southern Cambodia, located a couple of kilometres from the coast. Here you will find quiet streets lined with old French shop fronts, friendly locals and a very chilled out vibe. Kampot hasn't got a lot to offer in the form of tourist attractions, but its charm and [...]
Today's travel photo is a panorama of a placid coastal inlet in Central Vietnam. When we were travelling on the bus between Hue and Hoi An we stopped around halfway for a rest and toilet break. This was the view from our rest stop. I loved the calm water scene with the rough wooden jetty [...]
Today's travel photo is of some busy hawker stalls in George Town in Penang, Malaysia. Penang is known as the food capital of Malaysia and for a very good reason - the food is amazing! The best places to sample the amazing Penang cuisine is at the busy hawker stalls that line the streets and [...]
It had been a very long and tiring day exploring the temples along the Grand Circuit in Angkor, Cambodia. We had a tuk tuk driving us around, but there was still a lot of walking and climbing involved and that mixed with the heat of the day had us feeling pretty exhausted. Our last stop [...]

We had been travelling inland on our way from Queensland to Victoria, and Golden Beach was the first place that we actually came to the coast. Although it was quite cold on the beach when we were there, [...]
Today's travel photo is of a boat being built on Don Khone is Si Phan Don (4000 Islands), Laos. As there are no bridges to the islands in Si Phan Don on the Mekong River, boats are an important form of transport. I spotted this boat building/repair area next to the river when wandering around [...]

The pool is surrounded by four smaller pools, making it perfectly symmetrical, as was the style in Angkorian temples. This late 12th century [...]
Today's travel photo is a view of the long trail across the desolate alpine desert landscape on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. I took this photo on day four of my trek to the summit of the mountain. We had stopped for a short break on a rocky ridge, which gave me this view of the path [...]
Ho Chi Minh City, which is still more commonly known as its former name, Saigon, is the ultimate Southeast Asian metropolis. It is a city that is truly alive, with its crazy traffic filled streets surrounded by busy street side food stalls, markets, restaurants and modern skyscrapers. This is the sort of place where just [...]
Today's travel photo is of the lovely old buildings on Love Lane in George Town's Chinatown in Penang, Malaysia. Love Lane has some great examples of the old historic shopfronts that are common throughout Chinatown. We stayed just around the corner from here and I really loved walking along streets just like this one every [...]
