A Year Of Travel: My Highlights
It feels strange to say that we've been travelling for a year. Because, I suppose, we haven't. It's a year since we left the UK, sure, but we've made a little home for ourselves in the sub-tropical city of Brisbane, and while we've been making various trips around Australia, it's not been the full-on travel… Continue reading A Year Of Travel: My Highlights

Our bus plonked us somewhere "just outside the city" of Siem… Continue reading An Incredible Week in Siem Reap: Angkor Wat and Meditating With a Monk
A Difficult Visit To The Killing Fields Of Cambodia
I can't say Phnom Penh was the destination we were looking forward to the most on our whirlwind trip to Cambodia - but for many reasons, it's an important place to mark on the map. In fact, it's one of the most difficult places I've ever visited, and not just for the lack of infrastructure… Continue reading A Difficult Visit To The Killing Fields Of Cambodia
