I took this photo while travelling on the Slow Boat up the Mekong River in Laos back in 2011. As the boat slowly chugged it's way up the river, we stopped in at many small villages on the banks of the river to offload passengers and cargo. The Mekong River is the only way to [...]
The Hunter Valley is a beautiful area inland from Newcastle on the central coast of New South Wales. The area is one of Australia’s premier wine growing regions, and since we just happened to be travelling through the Hunter Valley on our Great Australian Road Trip, we kind of had to stop to do some [...]
Leaving the cool mountain air of the New England Tableland behind us, it was time to continue south and head down off the highlands to Australia’s country music capital – Tamworth. I personally have no great interest in country music, but since we had to pass through this country city anyway, I thought it would [...]
While on safari in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, we spotted some lions hiding in the tall grass. While stopped to take photos, this lioness walked right by our vehicle, not even caring about us at all. This was yet another amazing sight during my time on safari in Tanzania.
We had spent the morning exploring the historic town of Glen Innes on the New England Tableland of New South Wales, Australia. It was a chilly morning as we walked around, so I was quite happy to enjoy the warmth of our camper van as we continued to drive south to Uralla, our destination for [...]

At Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Rai, I found these Buddha statues surrounding a big old tree to be quite interesting and different [...]
As we made our way towards Uralla after stopping for the night at Bluff Rock, we passed through the country town of Glen Innes, high up on the New England Tableland of New South Wales. As soon as we entered the town, I noticed that there were a lot of beautiful old houses and buildings [...]
We set off on the first day of our Great Australian Road Trip with the intention of making it to Uralla, a town just south of Armidale in New South Wales. As it turned out, with the mucking around that we did before hand and much of the road being severely pot holed, there was [...]
As we made our way south today down into New South Wales, we passed by the rugged peaks of Mount Barney on the Queensland side of the border. Although it was covered in cloud today, it reminded me of the time that I climbed to the summit of Mount Barney in preparation for Mount Kilimanjaro [...]
