Today's travel photo is a black and white shot of the Viharn at Wat Sensoukharam in Luang Prabang, Laos. Although I remember walking past this Buddhist temple when I first visited Luang Prabang, I didn't actually go inside to check it out until my trip there last year. It was certainly impressive and well worth the look [...]
Kampong Cham is a sleepy little city on the Mekong River, located in Northeastern Cambodia. The city is basically the gateway to this lesser travelled area of the country, and many people just use it as more of a transport hub to go through to Kratie or the more remote Ratanakiri Province, however, Kampong Cham [...]
Today's travel photo is of the Lantern Lit Petaling Market in Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I took this photo while walking along one of the side streets off of the main busy street of the market - Petaling Street, which is also where our guesthouse was located. The Petaling Street Market is a great [...]
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 [...]

The lake is man made, formed by the damming of the Snowy River to produce hydro electricity. The town itself was actually originally located [...]
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 [...]
Today's travel photo is of a cool rainforest stream in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. The cool temperatures of the Cameron Highlands are a welcome relief from the often overbearing humidity that can be experienced in the rest of the country. The water in this mountain stream was actually quite cold. I took this photo from [...]
Today's travel photo is a city view from Wat Arun in Bangkok, Thailand. Wat Arun is a beautiful temple that is characterized by it's tall prangs (towers) that are decorated in tiles and sculptures. Climbing to the top of the central tower is quite hair raising, especially if you're afraid of heights, but the view [...]
