Today's travel photo is of some roadside stalls in the countryside near Siem Reap, Cambodia. I took this photo from our tuk tuk as we made our way towards Banteay Srei. These two ladies had set up shop right on the side of the road, one selling watermelons and the other selling bananas and some [...]
A lot of people don't think much of Hanoi. Vietnam's bustling capital tends to get overshadowed by the liveliness and ever pulsing metropolis of Saigon, the historic sites of Hoi An and Hue, and the unbelievable natural beauty of places like Halong Bay and Sapa. For some reason, many people use Hanoi simply as a [...]
Today's travel photo is of a Thompson's Gazelle in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. The Thompson's Gazelle is one of the most numerous species of antelope in the Serengeti. In fact, there are about half a million of them - so you will see them everywhere if you go on safari in the park. Obviously, they [...]
Today's travel photo is of a view of the sky through the branches of a flame tree in Nha Trang, Vietnam. I took this photo while exploring the ancient Cham towers of Po Nagar. This colourful flame tree provided me with some much needed shade during the heat of the middle of the day. From [...]

Being wine lovers, my wife and I were in heaven as we travelled through this beautiful region tasting all kinds of amazing [...]
Today's travel photo is of some delicious Claypot Nasi Briyani in George Town on Penang, Malaysia. Penang is the food capital of Malaysia and any visit to this interesting place should be a time of indulgence - the food is incredible. Nasi Briyani is an Indian influenced dish and it is always better in a [...]
"The boat leave...maybe twenty minute" said a random friendly local as we stared out at the muddy waters of the Mekong River in Kratie, Cambodia. I was looking down at the empty dock, wondering whether there actually was a boat or not. This friendly man went on to tell us that the ferry wasn't here [...]
Today's travel photo is of a deserted beach on a stormy day in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. We visited Sihanoukville for one reason - to get some quality beach time, but it absolutely bucketed down with rain for almost the entire time that we were there, so that plan went out the window. I took this photo [...]
