Today's travel photo is of a herd of wildebeest in front of a huge flock of flamingos on a lake in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania. I was amazed by the huge herds of animals that live in Ngorongoro. Unlike other parks in Tanzania, there is water here all year round, so the animals never need to [...]
I have to be honest. I was a little overwhelmed when it came time to visit the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia. It's a place that I've always wanted to visit, and I can't imagine that there are many people who don't at least want to visit Angkor Wat. It's a very popular tourist spot, [...]
Today's travel photo is of the inside of the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. The Central Post Office is a beautiful late 19th century French Colonial building, designed by Gustave Eiffel himself. It's located opposite the Notre Dame Cathedral, so you can easily visit both of these interesting sites at [...]
There is a question that a lot of people ask before they go travelling, and I've even asked that question a few times myself. Should you buy travel insurance? My answer is always yes. It is simply not worth taking the risk of going overseas without insurance. Yes, you will most likely (and hopefully) not [...]
Today's travel photo is of a rural road scene in the country outside of Vang Vieng in Laos. I took this photo while taking a bicycle ride to Poukham Cave and the Blue Lagoon. It was rice planting season at the time of year that I visited, so most of the rice fields had either [...]
When we finally made it to Siem Reap to visit the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia, I had no idea where to start. Should we do what most people do and just head straight to Angkor Wat? Should we visit Ta Phrom, Banteay Srei or some of the lesser visited temples first? I spent a [...]
Today's travel photo is of a very crowded Tuk Tuk in Battambang, Cambodia. I took this photo while exploring the streets of the city to view its interesting old French Colonial Buildings. This Tuk Tuk went past me and was crowded with about twelve people piled into it, mostly school kids all laughing and chatting [...]
I was so excited to visit Vietnam a couple of months ago. Not only was I visiting a new country, I was also visiting a country that I had been wanting to visit for a long time. For a whole month, Veronika and I travelled the country from North to South, starting in Hanoi and [...]
Today's travel photo is of a path through a pine tree plantation in Western Victoria, Australia. On our way to the South Australian border, we drove past miles and miles of pine plantations, and we stopped here for a sandwich and a cuppa. This area had been struck by some bad bush fires the month [...]
Cars and motorbikes zoomed by me in every direction as I stared with my mouth open at the roundabout ahead of me. Several chaotic Saigon streets had converged into this one place, sending the already crazy traffic into a frenzy of horn honking and near misses. Somehow there are no accidents and everyone seems to [...]
