There are [11] stories from my trip: Southeast Asia 2016


CAMBODIA IN A NUTSHELL

CAMBODIA | Sunday, 1 May 2016 | Views [446] | Comments [2]

Ohhh Cambodia, how art thou colourful, wild, jungly, silly, littered, chaotic, serene, kind, lazy, and risky all at once... My experiences included (and weren't limited to): taking a bus from Don Det, Laos to Siam reap, spending Khmer new year in the ... Read more >


This is the ride that never ends...

LAOS | Sunday, 24 Apr 2016 | Views [382] | Comments [1]

Wake n bake, should I shower? Who knows when I'll get the chance next...Nah... I had one last night, that'll do. Decided it was time to leave Nong Khiaw, I want to relax by the water for the rest of my time in Laos! Can't afford to keep moving every ... Read more >


Nong Khiaw, inlovewithLaos, shot nerves

LAOS | Sunday, 24 Apr 2016 | Views [349]

Nong Khiaw was all about waking up to the Mekong at my front door, attending butterfly parties near the stream, hiking solo all day and greeting/ chatting with village kids along the way "Sabadee!" I saw a serenity here in the local people that is largely ... Read more >


Luang Prabang, Luang Namtha, Nam Ha protected area

LAOS | Sunday, 10 Apr 2016 | Views [326]

I hadn't planned on spending much time in Luang Prabang, until I hit the street and instantly fell in love with the people, the sights, the smells, the food, the laid back pace. The glorious Mekong River was in sight from where I stayed, Khonsavan guesthouse.... Read more >


Hpa An, Yangon, farewell

MYANMAR | Saturday, 9 Apr 2016 | Views [482] | Comments [1]

Daily wake ups to raspy, cracked crows of roosters, and drifts into slumber with symphonies of cats brawling... I hung around Nyaungshwe and ran into some people from my trek group. We rode bikes around neighboring villages, waving to buffalo and people ... Read more >


Bagan, Kalaw trek to Inle, etc

MYANMAR | Wednesday, 30 Mar 2016 | Views [498] | Comments [2]

  On the 20th I took a 10 hour boat ride through Pioneer Cruise, from Mandalay to Bagan. Initially I was disappointed to board because I'd read that the boat was a place to mingle with locals, but there were none. I enjoyed myself though and ... Read more >


Warm welcome to Mandalay!

MYANMAR | Saturday, 19 Mar 2016 | Views [473] | Comments [3]

Myanmar is proving to be everything I hoped it would be and I have so far only been here a day. (Contemplating changing my outbound flight because there's just so much to learn and experience here that 11 days won't cut it). I lucked out with my cheap ... Read more >


The struggle

THAILAND | Friday, 18 Mar 2016 | Views [325] | Comments [3]

There it stood, in all its porcelain beauty, mocking me. It had an actual seat and a fresh roll of toilet paper to boot. I gazed longingly at the toilet, praying for some release, and recalled my 2/3 time daily average back home; how I wished for such ... Read more >


Thailand weeks 1-2

THAILAND | Sunday, 13 Mar 2016 | Views [299] | Comments [2]

I write this from Pai, a mellow colourful town in northern Thailand, where I am sipping on a Chang and waiting to meet up with a new local friend. I've been in this beautiful country for two weeks now and have seen/felt so much already. When I landed ... Read more >

Encouragement from friends and family inspired me to document this trip through a blog, and I have promised to attempt to keep one going .... bear with me... After months of "planning", working my booty off, and $aving, I left ... Read more >
