Day 61 in SE Asia – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Now let’s go snort some cocaine and sh*g some hookers…jokes…

August 17, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Today was my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! The thought of turning 32 was not something I was particularly relishing.

Day 59 in SE Asia – Golden Showers and Showers of Jazz

August 16, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; I naively thought (because I’m so young in my years), that Golden Showers were what pornographic dreams were made of. Some people find it a turn on. Some people find it sexy. Not me. I find it pretty repulsive. And as it turns out, Golden Showers are actually not what pornographic dreams … More Day 59 in SE Asia – Golden Showers and Showers of Jazz

Day 46 in SE Asia – Distancing Myself to Prevent Inevitable Hurt

August 2, 2017

Takeo Province, Cambodia; Even though today we technically had another day off, Gold Coast and I spent some time sorting through the storage room. The amount of donated materials and leftover ‘stuff’ we found in there was frustrating, and frankly sickening. We found hundreds of toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste…lots of medication and surgical instruments…spare … More Day 46 in SE Asia – Distancing Myself to Prevent Inevitable Hurt

Day 38 in South East Asia – Over These Buses!

July 24, 2017

Kampot to Phnom Penh, Cambodia; Starting on Monday I’m due to partake in a volunteer program helping some of Cambodia’s disadvantaged kids (something I’ve been very much looking forward to since I signed up for it while in Vietnam). This will last for a week, and once I’ve finished I’ll be heading to Bali for … More Day 38 in South East Asia – Over These Buses!

July 16, 2017

Siem Reap and Kampot, Cambodia: Before I write about my trip to Angkor Wat on day 30, I’m skipping forward, as I feel I need to share with you the struggles of the last few days, mainly because the taste is still bittersweet and the feelings evoked on days 31 and 32 are still raw; … More Days 31 and 32 in South East Asia – It’s Not Always Sunshine and Lollipops
