I was so excited to visit Vietnam a couple of months ago. Not only was I visiting a new country, I was also visiting a country that I had been wanting to visit for a long time. For a whole month, Veronika and I travelled the country from North to South, starting in Hanoi and [...]
Today's travel photo is of a path through a pine tree plantation in Western Victoria, Australia. On our way to the South Australian border, we drove past miles and miles of pine plantations, and we stopped here for a sandwich and a cuppa. This area had been struck by some bad bush fires the month [...]
Today's travel photo is a panorama of Wat Xieng Thong in Luang Prabang, Laos. I was so happy to be able to return to Luang Prabang recently, and it was even better this time because I got to take my wife with me. This gave me a great excuse to revisit some of the amazing [...]
Today's travel photo is of some Dragon Fruit growing at an orchard in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. A lot of people come to Southeast Asia and have no idea what this fruit is, and I was the same when I first came to the region a couple of years ago. Dragon Fruit certainly looks a [...]
Today's travel photo is of some locals fishing on the Mekong River at sunset in Kratie, Cambodia. The town of Kratie was one of my favourite places in Cambodia, and it was a great way to end our stay in the country before we made our way into Laos. The main draw to the town [...]
Today's travel photo is of a beautiful starry night on the Nullarbor in Western Australia. I took this photo at our camping spot in a rest area near the end of our huge journey across the Nullarbor. The vehicle in this photo belongs to some other travellers who had just pulled up to camp for [...]
Today's travel photo is of the busy night market in Vientiane, Laos, just as it is getting going as the sun sets. The night market in Vientiane sets up along the river front each night from around sun set until late. When I first visited the city in 2011, this market was pretty small and [...]
Today's travel photo is a silhouette of a porter watching the sunset at Shira Hut on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. I took this photo while taking a short acclimatization walk from our camp on the Shira Plateau. The sunset from here was amazing, and this porter seemed to be enjoying it as well. The porters on [...]
Today's travel photo is of some ruins being strangled by some giant tree roots at the temple of Preah Khan in Angkor, Cambodia. Preah Khan is a 12th century temple that, like the other temples of Angkor, was left to ruin once abandoned, and the forest took over. It is common to see these fig [...]
Today's travel photo is of a man selling fruit on the street in the Old Quarter of Hanoi in Vietnam. I loved walking around the Old Quarter as there was always something interesting to see. These "mobile" sellers pretty much just set up where ever there is some free space on the sidewalk or even [...]
