Trekking with Elephants, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Trekking with Elephants, Chiang Mai, Thailand. June 2015. Our minibus positively rattled through the Chiang Mai countryside. Dense jungle whooshed by along both sets of windows, an impenetrable blur of green. Located 60 kilometres from the city in a lush region of forest and jungle, the drive to Elephant Nature Park takes about an hour […]

A Very Chiang Mai Adventure.

A Very Chiang Mai Adventure. May-June 2015. After so many incredible experiences and so much ground covered across Thailand, it was great to finally be in Chiang Mai. In fact, I’d been looking forward to this from the beginning when I started planning my trip many months before back in China. Do even a smidge […]

Endearing Encounters at Sukhothai Historical Park.

Endearing Encounters at Sukhothai Historical Park. May 2015. At the end of May I decided it was time to say goodbye to the south of Thailand.

Sunset Chasing on Ko Lanta, Thailand.

Sunset Chasing on Ko Lanta, Thailand. May 2015. I’m so glad I met the American guy from South Carolina at Krabi Night Market.

A Brief Adventure in Setti Fatma, Morocco.

Setti Fatma, Morocco. October 2008. It was our last day in Marrakesh and I was feeling like the trip needed a change of tone. As wonderful as Morocco had been, the adventure had so far played out as a near-continuous stream of city exploring. Sure, I could’ve found plenty more to occupy our time in […]

Once Upon a Time in Marrakesh.

Once Upon a Time in Marrakesh. October, 2008. When I look back on my adventures in Morocco, I always think of Marrakesh as the trip’s dazzling centrepiece. Everything they say about the city is true, it is nothing short of intoxicating. Indeed Marrakesh is a feast for the eyes, a place that is overflowing with […]

Here’s Looking at You, Rick’s Cafe.

Here’s Looking at You, Rick’s Cafe. October 2008. I fell in love with the movie Casablanca when I first saw it as a teenager. Strangely, and quite unlike many of my favourite movies, I have often struggled to explain why I feel it’s such a magical picture. This is a bit pathetic when one considers I […]
