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 [...]
I woke up in darkness to the sound of my alarm. It was 4:30am, a time of the day that I used to dread. For the past seven years I had been getting up at 4:30am to go to work. For those seven years I hated the sound of that alarm, and I hated that [...]
Today's travel photo is of some freshly planted rice fields in front of some tall limestone karst mountains near Vang Vieng in Laos. The countryside around Vang Vieng is just beautiful, and taking a bike ride down some of the quiet dirt roads is a must. When we visited Laos in July this year, the [...]

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 [...]

I took this photo [...]
Today's travel photo is of a quiet alleyway in the Old City of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Something that I love about Chiang Mai is that it is a large, busy city with everything that you need, but once you turn off the main roads it feels like a small country town. I absolutely loved just [...]
Kampot is a sleepy little riverside town in Southern Cambodia, located a couple of kilometres from the coast. Here you will find quiet streets lined with old French shop fronts, friendly locals and a very chilled out vibe. Kampot hasn't got a lot to offer in the form of tourist attractions, but its charm and [...]
Today's travel photo is a panorama of a placid coastal inlet in Central Vietnam. When we were travelling on the bus between Hue and Hoi An we stopped around halfway for a rest and toilet break. This was the view from our rest stop. I loved the calm water scene with the rough wooden jetty [...]
Today's travel photo is of some busy hawker stalls in George Town in Penang, Malaysia. Penang is known as the food capital of Malaysia and for a very good reason - the food is amazing! The best places to sample the amazing Penang cuisine is at the busy hawker stalls that line the streets and [...]
