Although I love travel, I'm not a huge fan of long bus journeys, particularly when they are overnight. I'm not a great sleeper at the best of times, so trying to sleep in a cramped seat on a moving bus is almost impossible for me. Unfortunately, to get from the Pakse and Si Phan Don [...]
Today's travel photo is of some riverside houses in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. This was one of my favourite parts of the Mekong Delta as our boat slowly made its way through the maze of channels of the Mekong River. This was a very quiet part of the river where locals have built their houses [...]

If I had to choose one favourite country from my six month trip through Southeast Asia, it would have to be Cambodia. It is such an interesting country to visit. The historical and cultural sites of places such as the Temples of Angkor and the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh are amazing, while the natural [...]

I hope you all had a good Christmas and are enjoying the holidays where ever you are in the world. Today's travel photo is a morning view of the Serengeti Plain in Northern Tanzania. I took this photo from my camp when I woke up in the morning. The rising sun was just lighting up [...]
Wiping the sleep from my eyes, I stepped out onto the balcony of our bungalow. A channel of the Mekong River flowed lazily by before me under a beautiful blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. There was hardly another sound besides the calm sound of the water, and as I looked around I suddenly [...]
