Five Day Golden Triangle Tour
The beggar backflips between gridlocked traffic. She begs for rupees. Eight men pee on public property. The fiery sun sits atop marble mausoleums. To walk in a shadow of a king’s memorial. A young female taxi driver says she will worship me like a God.
Curveballs In Seoul, South Korea
In the last two-and-a-half months I have developed a standard playbook for each new destination. Navigate the maze. Seek shelter. Find sustenance. Befriend locals. Exchange money. Breathe In. Breathe Out.
What To Do in Tokyo, Japan
I declare Tokyo culinary paradise! This marked my second visit to Japan, and unburdened by typical tourist duties, I embarked on a whirlwind journey to savor the delicious tastes of Tokyo.

Warning: The following article contains spoilers for those who may wish to visit Da Nang and the many attractions the city advertises, including Ba Na Hills, The Golden Bridge, Marble Mountain, and the town of Hôi An.

Mother Earth’s Perspective
When Mother Earth craves rejuvenation, she visits Tom Coc. Her spirit inhabits the water buffalo, and the pastoral rice fields filled with white crane. Her incandescent face rests atop monoliths, legs in serpentine silty rivers. Swirling fog calms the mind.
A Love Letter to Vietnam
Dear Anonymous, Since we spent all our time together in Hanoi, I wrote you a letter. When we met at the airport, your American smile was heartwarming. Green eyes and charm striking my soul, making it nerve-wracking to chat with you.
Exploring The Cambodia Life
Phnom Penh has no sidewalks. However, it has Cold Stone Creamery, which I believe makes up for the omission. When it’s forty degrees Celsius you need ice cream. I ordered my standard selection at America’s favorite fine dining dessert establishment: French Vanilla with Oreos.
A Singapore Singularity
The Jewel waits for unsuspecting travelers at the Changi International Airport in Singapore. This glimmering structure is an architectural marvel. Calming water cascades through an enormous seven story glass funnel above Terminal 1. Foliage melds with ambient music to lure visitors into the modernity of Singapore’s new age.
The Jungle Of Chiang Mai
Where were the tropical jungle shanty towns devoid of amenities? Thailand’s northern region is quite comfortable. In Chiang Mai, walls of stone and moss surround the Old Town. Golden Buddhist temples line blocks brimming with tourists and monks.
Koh Phangan and Koh Samui
I knew I made a mistake within minutes of being on Koh Pha-Ngan. Dishonest. Seedy. The central corridor was a mix of dilapidated alleyways choked with pollution. Motorists and pushy taxi drivers edged for control of the streets.
How To Reach Ko Tao
To paraphrase the physiatrist Carl Jung, one must go through hell to reach heaven. An accurate analogy of my trip to Ko Tao, an island in the Gulf of Thailand that lies directly south of Bangkok, which was the next stop on my journey.
One Night In Bangkok
Society tells us, that one night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble. The 1980s one hit wonder may have arisen organically, but I bet the sweltering heat in Suvarnabhumi airport was the inspiration for his song.
