Read MoreSnippets of Kerala, India. April 2004. Cover photo courtesy of Augustus Binu. Ah, Kerala, the final leg of my cross-country adventures around India in 2004. Looking back, I think Allan and I were thoroughly knackered, despite the recharge we’d had on the lazy beaches of Benaulim in Goa. Thus we agreed to kick back and […]
Read MoreSnippets of Goa, India. April 2004. There comes a point in just about every cross-country trip when you are in desperate need of a rest.

Read MoreSnippets of Jaisalmer, India. March 2004. Cover photo courtesy of StoriesOfKabeera. If the urban sprawl of Jaipur had betrayed us with its misleading Pink City tagline, we were handsomely compensated by the extraordinary Golden City of Jaisalmer. This, dear friends, was my favourite place from my cross-country jaunt around India. In fact, Jaisalmer delivered on […]
Read MoreSnippets of Jaipur, India. March 2004. Cover photo courtesy of Chinmaykp25. Even within the parameters of my scaled down snippets series, this collection of memories from Jaipur has been particularly hard to pull off. This is due to the fact that 1: I have very few photos of our brief stay and 2: We had […]
Read MoreSnippets of Agra, India. March 2004. Cover photo courtesy of David Castor. After an intense week in India’s frenetic capital, New Delhi, my travel mate Allan and I jumped on an equally hectic train to the city of Agra.

Read MoreSnippets of New Delhi, India. March 2004. Photo courtesy of Em_G. Bear with me, dear readers, since we are about to embark on a series that’s… well… a bit different. As long term visitors to these pages know, I’ve been building my travel report library for around five years now. For the most part I’ve always […]

Hearing their unique backstories, eating their wonderful food, diving into South East Asia’s most underrated coffee scene. Our 12-article series is almost done, so let’s roundup the best of the rest. Here they are, […]
Read MoreChanrey Tree Restaurant, Siem Reap. July 2020. Sharing birthdays with your other half is fun! Back in the summer of 2020 Sladja and I had our first double birthday celebrations, mine on the 8th, hers on the 9th. Among various other treats to ourselves, we decided that each of us could choose a restaurant for […]
Read MoreTevy’s Place, Siem Reap. May 2020. When I started my Siem Reap cafes and restaurants series, I had not an inkling of the amazing stories that lay in wait. Sladja and I still feel privileged to have met so many genuinely lovely people during our stay. And of course for the opportunity to tell their stories. […]
Read MoreMarum Restaurant, Siem Reap. January 2020. Like so many of Siem Reap’s wonderful cafes and restaurants, it makes me smile to think of the day we discovered Marum Restaurant.
