Today's travel photo is of a lone Baobab Tree in the grassy plains around Lake Manyara in Tanzania. I spotted this tree first at a distance as we zoomed along the grassy plain towards a Masai village, but it quickly grew bigger as we drove past it to this point where we parked to get [...]
Bakong is part of the Roluos group of temples, and one of the oldest in the temples of Angkor in Cambodia. This royal temple was part of the ancient city of Hariharalaya and was built in the 9th century. I took this photo after walking down a long path past the huge moat that surrounds the [...]
Many centuries ago, the country of Vietnam was largely divided, and Central Vietnam was ruled by the Champa Kingdom, whose religion was actually Hindu. In a hidden valley surrounded by mountains, they built their most holy site - a large temple complex known as My Son. The architecturally brilliant temples were built to worship their [...]
As we drove up to Falls Creek high up in the Victorian Alps of Australia, I was amazing at just how beautiful the landscape was. I took this photo in March this year when the temperatures were still quite warm, but now this landscape would be completely transformed, and the view would be of snow [...]
Cars and motorbikes zoomed by me as I tried to navigate my way through a new town in the late afternoon.

After hastily crossing [...]
Today's travel photo is of a fresh fruit stall at Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. Located in the centre of this busy city, Ben Thanh Market offers some great shopping, and I just love wandering around markets.

Situated almost in the very centre of Vietnam, Hue was the capital city of the country during the rule of the Nguyen Dynasty which lasted from 1802 until 1945. It is the amazing historical sites from this era [...]
Vietnam is famous for its crazy traffic. I've been to cities in Asia such as Bangkok where the traffic jams can get ridiculous, but as I travelled through the cities in Vietnam, I realised that it is far worse. Crossing the street in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is almost a tourist experience of its [...]
Today's travel photo is of an old wooden door in the courtyard of Palazzo Comunale in San Gimignano, Italy. The town of San Gimignano is a beautifully preserved medieval town in Tuscany and I absolutely loved walking along its cobblestone streets. Palazzo Comunale, also known as "The People's Palace", was built during the 13th and [...]
I think eating the local food is an important part of the travel experience, so whenever I travel to a new country, I like to try as many local dishes as I can. In Kampot, Cambodia, I tried a couple of new dishes, and this photo is of a plate of beef lok lak, which [...]
