In June of 2019, I had a four-day trip to Tokyo for work. I’d been to Japan before, but I always try to see something other than the hotel and office on work trips. That said, I wasn’t completely comfortable exploring on my own, so I looked on Trip Advisor and ended up booking a […]
If you travel a lot for work, you know that most of the time you get to see the consultant trifecta: the airport, the office, and some Western chain hotel. It takes effort, and some sleep sacrificing, to squeeze in much more than that. This was my first time in Vietnam, and I was determined […]
I’d been to Singapore once before. On that trip, my client was at the airport, I stayed at the airport, and the office was five minutes from the airport. I didn’t see much. On this trip, I was determined to see more. Jet lag was in my favour, so when I woke up well before […]

And because I am a US citizen living in Australia, that doubled the estimated four day […]
Sometime you ignore the stuff that is in your own backyard. We’re doing our best to play tourist in our home city, but sometimes a photowalk is a good excuse to get out the cameras. [RFG_gallery id=’53’]
(Location: Siem Reap, Cambodia) Angkor Wat has been on our list for a while. We’d planned it a few times when we lived in the US. Even bought a guidebook at one point. We sold the guidebook as part of the purge before moving to Australia, so of course we finally go there a year […]
