Today's travel photo is of the viharn at the Buddhist temple of Wat Chiang Mun in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Wat Chiang Mun was originally built in 1297 at the founding of the city, making it the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. You could easily spend a couple of days temple hopping around the city, but [...]
Malaysia as a whole country is interesting due to its mix of different cultures and religions, but there are few better examples of this than the city of George Town on the island of Penang. Due to its history as an important trading port, people came from many parts of the world to settle here, [...]
Today's travel photo is of a Masai man demonstrating how to start a fire using donkey dung in their village near Lake Manyara, Tanzania. Visiting this Masai village was a great experience for me, as the people showed us around their village and gave us a look into the lives and culture of the Masai [...]
Today's travel photo is of some beautiful Hindu art at Sri Mahamariamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Built in 1873, Sri Mahamariamman is the oldest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur. Something I love about Hindu temples is all of the amazing bright colours, particularly in the artwork. This temple is located in Chinatown, so if you're in [...]

Growing up in Perth, I have visited Rottnest Island a few times, located only a half hour ferry ride away from Fremantle. I visited again recently and had a great time cycling around the island with my wife and brother-in-law. Rottnest [...]
Today's travel photo is of some rice fields on the rural island of Koh Trong, Cambodia.

We spent the day cycling around the island and it was a very peaceful experience. It [...]
Today's travel photo is of some bruschette with fresh tomato and basil in Sorrento, Italy. The one thing that I wish I took more photos of when I was in Italy is the amazing food that I ate. I guess the food was usually so good that it was gone before I could even get [...]
Today's travel photo is of the view of the Cameron Valley Tea Estate in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia.
