There are a lot of great reasons to travel, but at the end of the day it’s all about the experiences. Travel has never been more exciting and it seems that new options to interact with local communities has hit its stride as a travel style. So I decided to look back at the last…

I had one main mission in Cambodia – the temples. These relics from a long gone era are the stuff of legend and in my mind I had built them up into a tourist force to be reckoned with. And for the most part, I wasn’t disappointed. From the hectic Angkor Wat to more relaxed…

One of the first posts I wrote following my trip to beautiful Cambodia was about a visit to Angkor Wat. In it I described feeling a little underwhelmed and that I preferred other temples in the areas surrounding Siem Reap. While that’s true, there is also no denying that the Angkor Wat complex is a…

As a picky eater, I’m never entirely optimistic about the food when I visit a country for the first time. There are so many things that I don’t eat, which the rest of the world seems to love that travel can sometimes be difficult. Oddly enough, in the past I have had a lot of…

I’ve long been interested in archeology and learning about past civilizations. Had a natural predilection against math not prevented my entrance into any of the sciences that’s where I might very well find myself today.

The idea of learning all about past civilizations, discovering their long lost secrets captivated me, and still does to be honest. My inability to do any math past a rudimentary level may have kept me out of the sciences as a…

  When I found out I would be traveling to Cambodia with Dragonair/Cathay Pacific I was excited. Not just because it’s an easy, 2-hour flight from Hong Kong but because I knew I would be staying at the luxury hotel La Residence d’Angkor. Part of the Belmond group of hotels (formally Orient Express) my partner…

I recently had the opportunity to visit Cambodia, an easy flight on Dragonair from Hong Kong. Before even leaving Cambodia though, I knew that there were several details I wanted to share. Tidbits of information that could have helped me during my own stay in Siem Reap and tips that I hope will help you…

I love airlines, check that, I love good airlines and I’m excited to announce that I’m part of a new campaign sponsored by one of the best in the world – Cathay Pacific. Cathay Pacific and iambassadors (of which I am a member) decided to partner up in order to showcase several features that make…
