So far on my currently three-month long trip (scheduled to be six months), I’ve travelled to many places. It’s been a journey across much of South East Asia, with a visit to 11 total countries thus far – 9 of them new ones for myself. I think I’ve done it in the most logical manner… Read More Travel Summary of Current Trip
A two-hour train ride from Taipei central to Shifen got me to the famous “Niagara Falls” of the Taiwan. On this day, it was raining quite heavily, but that didn’t stop the weekend crowds from visiting this iconic site. The main draw is the waterfall itself, but within the small town or village, as you… Read More Taipei, Taiwan Day 3
Exploring Taipei the second day was a much richer experience. Seeing the major sites and learning about the country’s history adds a lot more to a visit, rather than running through a place without knowing a thing about it. I still have much history to learn, however this is a start. On this day, I… Read More Taipei, Taiwan Day 2
I’ve been sick for the last week while traveling – a sore stomach and some mild fevers. It’s really put a damper on my ability to venture out and see new things. But on my second day in Taipei, I gathered enough energy to get out of the hostel and make the walk up the… Read More Taipei, Taiwan

It’s exactly what you would see out of a Planet Earth documentary. In fact, many of the scenes are filmed there over the course of years. But much of… Read More Exploring Malaysian Borneo
A visit to Brunei – lasting four days – gave me insight into the inner workings of this secret country. I was completely surprised by what I saw. Brunei is not a very visited country by all means. In fact, lately, it has received a lot of negative attention due to its implementations of strict… Read More A Visit to Brunei
What can I say about Nusa Penida, other than I spent nine days on this small island. Most people day-trip or spend one or two days and move on. But once we got there something changed. The original plan was to visit everywhere: more of Bali, Lombok, Gili Islands, but we just stayed – and… Read More Nusa Penida Vibes
Exploring Timor-Leste, one of the most recently formed countries in the world, and often cited as the least visited among South East Asia, I was excited to see what this place had to offer. Flying into Kupang, Indonesia is the closest you will get, unless you fly direct into Dili International. Those flights as I… Read More Dili, Timor-Leste
