Kampot and the cloak of Bokor Mountain
"If you go to Kampot, stay at Arcadia!" So many different people raved about this place. Intrigued, I had to see this for myself. After my exhausting ride, I hopped off my mini van, dripping with sweat, after the exhausting ride. Mosquitoes instantly feasting on me the moment I opened the door. I got to chatting with a group of English fellows, most of whom were also in that hot box mini van. It turned out they were also headed the same way - Arcadia. Off we went, our tuk tu

Da Lat canyoning and the crazy house.
Three, two, one go! As my feet left the ground all I could think of was trying not to break my legs. Splash!! Welcome to Da Lat, one of the most exhilarating places in Vietnam.

The End of the road, Ha Giang
Raph is this going to be possible? We have over 12 hours of riding today, more than 200 kilometres and the worst roads to tackle. As we looked at one another we knew it wouldn't be easy, but we both said "lets do this." and it was settled. The Royal loop would take me to the edge of China and Vietnam once more, this time, it was separated by the fourth biggest waterfall in the world. Leaving Meo Vac in the dust, we sped off into the rugged terrain, the sun baking our skin a

Ha Giang, The Ride to China.
Waiting for my flight from Denpasar to KL airport, I began a conversation with a French Xpat who was living funnily enough in Hanoi for two years, my next destination. I asked "for some tips of what to do" when she brought up the Ha Giang loop, a motorcycle ride through the Northern most parts of Vietnam. The loop lead right to Ban Gioc Waterfall, the fourth largest waterfall in the world, something on my Vietnam bucket list. As the first day in Hanoi played out, a few more

Wet and wild waterfalls, Central Bali.
I think I found the best waterfall in Bali, care to join me? Sometimes the tourist traps just get you down, you have seen a million temples, taken the same photo as everyone else of that monkey on your shoulder and feel like something different. The hardest paths usually lead to the greatest rewards because no one else has the energy to go that extra mile for something worth pulling out your camera. I was staying in Ubud and I knew my dear friend Raph was in town. He sugge

Into the flame, Ijen Crater
Stepping into the heart of mother nature my journey led me to this. Cracking open my eyes, my ears caught the sound of a giant flying insect, time to rise into the darkness, another one of natures wonders was awaiting me. I was up an hour early as my phone decided to changed its time to Bali time, watch out for that one. Once my guide and group was ready we headed out, the endless bumpy roads and the bitter cold were all that stood in my way. No sleep fell to the back of
