Geo: 19.8841, 102.142I can't think of a better way to enter Laos than to cruise south down the Mekong river on a slow boat for two days, It was such a beautiful trip. I had no idea about the landscape let alone about Laos itself, and within two days I was blown away.There are so many people I know that have traveled South East Asia but haven't gone to Laos, so I was keen to experience most of what this country had to offer.We had organized a package deal which would take us to the boarder and to Luang Prabang, it included a two day slow boat down the Mekong with two nights accommodation and food provided for 2000 Baht each. We set off to the border in a mini van for 5 hours with a ... read more

Geo: 18.8, 98.98This story begins in a land far far away, Krabi, as we were bundled in to the bus bound for Bangkok in a hidden bus stop amongst the trees, giving the feel that we were outcasts never to been seen. We arrived with no issues to Koh San Rd a bit before 6 and grabbed some accommodation and caught up on the lost sleep only to wake around 12.30, but we weren't planning on doing anything that day, besides watch New Zealand win in the rugby.The next day we had bought tickets to Chiang Mai on our 3rd 12hr overnight bus in one week. We consider ourselves lucky to have caught our bus on time.We knew there were floods but thought nothing of it, but Chiang Mai and surrounding areas had been hit hard ... read more

Geo: 13.75, 100.517Back to business, more countries, more photos, more adventures means more blogs. And I can hear you saying "He's traveling again!! Where the hell to this time?", and my response would be, "Yes, again!!!, this time South East Asia"This trip will include Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. A well trodden path but full of history, religion and changing landscape.This time Anna will be with me for the whole ride and I couldn't be happier as this marks the start of our life together with out extensive breaks. I am hanging up those Skype headphones for once.My plane trip to Bangkok starts off pretty bad, my plane is delayed for almost 3 hours as the previous plane delays our take off and then just before hitting the air we are forced back to the gate ... read more

Geo: 1.28941, 103.85After a sad departure from Anna and a 12 hour flight to Singapore, I landed in a wave of heat, humidity and discomfort where my main priority was to get to the hostel in Lavender and get some much needed rest because as per usual I got limited sleep on the flight in.I arrived at 2pm but I didn't go out and explore for the rest of the day.The inspiration for the title of this blog comes from after finding it difficult to sleep in Singapore.The first night was pretty rough, I managed to fall asleep for a few hours but from 12pm I lay awake till 6am, and to add insult to injury I was bitten by bed bugs,I found and killed two crawling around my feet, but it was too late, itching ... read more

Geo: 30.9173, -6.91912Moroccan Landscape is very dry and colorless, but is fascinating in every direction you look. It may look harsh and un-inviting, especially when it's extremely hot, but hidden treasures of old towns and green oasis are commonly found.We signed up for a three day tour to the Mergouza Sand Dunes, but to get there we had to endure two days of driving. There are many companies out there that provide these tours. There is also a two day trip to the Zagora Sand Dunes but from what I have heard and from some photos I have seen they are not as impressive as the Merzouga Dunes.Merzouga is hard to do and and to enjoy in a two day time frame. After talking with an agent, the pull to Merzouga was strong but we had ... read more
