Today's travel photo is of the old general store in the small town of Wollombi in New South Wales, Australia. Wollombi is a historic town that was once situated on the old Great Northern Road. The town still has many of its old buildings which gives it a lot of character. We only stopped for [...]
Today's travel photo is of the viharn at the Buddhist temple of Wat Chiang Mun in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Wat Chiang Mun was originally built in 1297 at the founding of the city, making it the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. You could easily spend a couple of days temple hopping around the city, but [...]
Malaysia as a whole country is interesting due to its mix of different cultures and religions, but there are few better examples of this than the city of George Town on the island of Penang. Due to its history as an important trading port, people came from many parts of the world to settle here, [...]
Today's travel photo is of a Masai man demonstrating how to start a fire using donkey dung in their village near Lake Manyara, Tanzania. Visiting this Masai village was a great experience for me, as the people showed us around their village and gave us a look into the lives and culture of the Masai [...]

Today's travel photo is of the roundabout at the northern end of Hoan Kiem Lake in downtown Hanoi, Vietnam. If you're wandering around the Old Quarter in Hanoi, you are bound to find yourself at this busy roundabout from time to time. In this photo, I somehow captured the most quiet moment that I had [...]
I hugged the side of the road as cars and motorbikes zoomed past me. I was used to riding a scooter now in Asia, but I still refused to go much faster than 60kph, even on a main road like this one. I felt my wife's fingers dig into me each time a truck or [...]
Today's travel photo is of some deep fried street food snacks at the Sunday Night Market in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Although I'm not much of a shopper, I love visiting markets in Asia simply for the food. Chiang Mai has lots of markets, so I was always kept happy. The Sunday Night Market is popular [...]
