Have dreams, will travel.
Located northwest of Lombok is a short archipelago consisting of three islands - Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno - which make up the Gili Islands (or simply Gilis). These small islands have been a popular beach and diving destination for years. Their close proximity to both Lombok and Bali make them easy to... Continue Reading →
In northern Thailand is one of the region's most visited temples - Wat Rong Khun. Also known as the White Temple, it is a Buddhist temple that, to me, seems a labour of love and devotion. Located 15 km / 9 miles outside the city of Chang Rai, the original temple was worn down and... Continue Reading →
During my trip to Hong Kong I made a one day sojourn to Macau which is located about 64 km / 40 miles east of Hong Kong on the Pearl River Delta. A bridge is currently being built that will link the two cities by road. Though presently the most direct route is via ferry.... Continue Reading →

It was past the hottest time in the afternoon, about 3:00pm and the Myanmar sun was making its slow descent, casting longer shadows on the ground below. Today's scooter was blue. I decided to go...

We all know I rarely post while travelling - the stories will come later. Myanmar has been good yet tinged with some gastrointestinal distress... Continue Reading →
I do apologize for not posting as much as I intended. It has been a busy & fun trip. I extended my time in Malaysia a couple of days as S and I were having so much fun. Langkawi was a bust so we headed to Malacca and then Singapore. After that it was a... Continue Reading →
