Floods Devastate SE Asia
It’s a bit crazy to imagine that countries I was discovering two years ago in SE Asia are now swamped from a typhoon. The following excerpt is from the Radio Australia: The Philippines is bracing for two more typhoons which are expected to hit the flood-ravaged country over the next two days. Emergency teams have [...]
Exploring Laos
I’ve blogged about Laos… but didn’t always get the photos up. Here are a few. Click here to view the entire Flickr album.
Vang Vieng on Repeat
What can I say? I’m an adventure junkie. It was back to days of cycling, caving and rock climbing. I even got some pointers in lead climbing. That means I’m on the rock and the rope that’s holding me is actually clipped in below me for most of the climb. If I were to fall, [...]
Moto Pro
Ever since I arrived in Bangkok I’ve been wanting to try piloting a motobike/motorcycle. SE Asia is perfect for a first crack at it. Cheap and no need for a special license (or any license for that matter). Finally, today was the day. Joee offered to coach me through my first moto-driving session. Turns out, [...]
Can’t Get Enough of the Tubes n’ Swings
Again, tubing in Vang Vieng’s claim to fame… and there’s a reason for it. It’s a blast and it never gets old. Joee was new to Vang Vieng so I thought there was nothing better than to christen her with the true Vang Vieng experience on her first full day. Another day of tubing, flying [...]
Local Lao Fishing
First evening back in Vang Vieng was back to bliss. I caught up with Joee and she had managed to snag some tents on the little island in the river in Vang Vieng. Sweet! Nothing sounded better than camping in this beautiful, laid-back city. Unfortunately, I had already reserved a guesthouse so I would have [...]
Paradise on Earth
Vang Vieng is everything I’ve ever dreamed of… There’s no question it’s a small town that’s thriving from the influx of backpackers that migrate here and seem to find it hard to leave and that means it’s not such a local experience. But, it’s paradise nonetheless and there are plenty of locals that have adapted [...]
Aussie Assurances
I definitely made the right move in buying that ticket to the Land of Oz. I just met a Canadian girl who has been traveling for nearly 3 years straight now. Wow! She lived and worked in Australia for a year and also lived in worked in New Zealand. Her stories and tales of adventure [...]
Laid-back Laos
Talk about all your problems melting away. There is no room for stress, or bad moods in Laos. The country is laid-back. The people are genuinely friendly and they don’t hound you for a thing. Laos is just… chill. Vientiane is the capital city and rush hour seems to amount to no more than 15 [...]
