Today's travel photo is of a beautiful orange sunset over the sand flats at Parham, South Australia. The small coastal village of Parham is located just north of Adelaide, but it feels like a world away. When the tide is out you can walk for what seems like miles out onto the sand flats, which [...]
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.

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 [...]
