I could not imagine a life without traveling and discovering new places. This is what feeds my love of photography and nothing inspires me more than trying to capture moments of different worlds that are foreign to me, yet a familiar home to someone else....

To the health center we go. This is my second outing so far. I’m off to observe the outreach work my organization does in the community. We’re going to three health centers today, and they are the ones farthest away from our office.
We ... Read more >

Short note.. it’s a pity I didn’t get the camera out in time.
On the “moto” (imagine the lovechild between a motorbike and a scooter) riding down the dusty gravel road in front of us, I see a lady holding a pole upright with ... Read more >

Well, well, well… this town is full of surprises isn’t it?
Having fallen asleep on most of the journey here by taxi ride** I guess I must have missed a good portion of the busy part of town and only awoken amongst the dust clouds and ... Read more >

Today I left the western bubble that is Phnom Penh for the not-so-glamorous country town I will be calling home for the next year.
I'm now in Kampong Chhnang, about 90km north of Phnom Penh. Mozzies are abundant and I've encountered my first squat ... Read more >

Being a volunteer in international development, I had expected life to be a little hard. Cambodia after all is a “third world” country. I'm sure it is for many of the locals here, including the 1/3 who live below the poverty line, however, ... Read more >

Ok, I've said goodbye to my dearest friends who have essentially been (and are) my family these past years.
I turn off my mobile and as the red icon fades to black, it bodes me farewell and good luck at the end of this chapter of Sydney life; we are ... Read more >

I’ve been living in Japan for almost 9 months (sorry I
haven’t posted anything until now). It’s a land of great contrasts and cultural complexity
that many easily overlook and stereotype. In fact, if you’re not of the right disposition,
this ... Read more >

All my life I have wanted to help the world. It’s a big goal for a tiny person, but I haven’t given up hope. I completed my degree in medical sciences two years ago with the dream of designing much needed vaccines for the third world. After time in ...

The man seated next to me on my first flight was a grossly overweight, middle aged slob. Besides encroaching on half my seat space, he alternated between humming loudly and picking his nose and flicking the boogers onto the floor. The other flights ... Read more >

Montreal. The city of festivals. You can’t
walk more than ten minutes in any direction without encountering one of them.

I must admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of
London. It’s one of those places that people either love or don’t. Overpriced
dirty hotels mixed with densely packed and polluted sidewalks are not my thing

I’m in the St Louis Hospital emergency
waiting room and it’s filling up. I tried to see a regular GP but was told to
go to the St Louis ER instead. I have a stomach bug that won’t go away. It’s
been more than a week now and I thought it’s probably ... Read more >

The tourist information centres at the
Charles De Gaulle airport are excellent, so take advantage of these friendly
and helpful English speaking staff before you get to the city booths which may or
may not be so helpful.
