Today's travel photo is of the war memorial in Kings Park, with the CBD in the background in Perth, Western Australia. Kings Park is located just west of Perth City and is a great place to go for a picnic and a walk, plus it has the best views of the city and Swan River [...]
As with all of the destinations that I visited during my six month journey through Southeast Asia, every day in Penang started with a walk. The only question was what direction I would head in when I stepped out the door of my guest house in Chinatown each morning. On this particular day, my feet [...]
Today's travel photo is of some green lanterns on a bridge in Hoi An, Vietnam. At night in the Old Town of Hoi An, all of the streets are lit up by beautiful lanterns. I took this photo while crossing the pedestrian bridge across the river, which is also all lit up. This is just [...]

Today's travel photo is of some hawker stalls along Jalan Sultan in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I absolutely loved staying in Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur. It is just a hive of activity all of the time, but it is at night when it really comes alive. Chinatown is also one of the best places to [...]
Today's travel photo is of a local woman selling fresh baguette sandwiches from her boat at Cai Rang Floating Market in Can Tho, Vietnam.
