- Far East Travels

Ubud, Bali-This place is everything you want it and need it to be. Spiritual, beautiful, romantic, enlightening, relaxing. For me it literally refreshed my soul from the ravages of corporate life. Walking along a street one morning I almost broke out in tears finally realizing what had happened to me. Less then a year later I left that world never to return. #bali #ubud #hinduism #hindu #tropical #spiritualawakening #nikonusa #king #tombraider #away #tripme #traveling #alone #hindu #photooftheday #new #happiness #travelingram #instago #instatravel #travelworld #instago #beautifulplace #travelpics #travellife #instafollow #travellife #FF #igtravel #followme #travelphotography August 12, 2018 at 09:17PM

Angkor Ruins, Cambodia-That face. Was it the king who built the Bayon Temple or the Bodhisattva of Compassion. It’s something to contemplate as you’re hypnotized by all 216 of them featured on 54 towers. I’ve received many comments and messages about how I was able to get images of the Angkor Ruins without the throngs of people. Careful planning, strategic positioning, and commitment. Anyone can do this if you have the time. Would love to share some tips with people one day at Angkor and Siem Reap. #angkorwat #angkorthom #nikonusa #buddhism #king #tombraider #away #tripme #traveling #alone #photooftheday #new #happiness #travelingram #instago #instatravel #travelworld #instago #beautifulplace #travelpics #travellife #instafollow #travellife #FF #igtravel #followme #travelphotography #cambodia #khmer August 11, 2018 at 08:09PM

Angkor Ruins, Cambodia-One of the Impressive gates this one leading into Angkor Thom. Thousands make their way through the Angkor Wat and Thom complexes daily. Waking early, strategic planning around the sites you want to visit will ensure a satisfying experience. Can you imagine how the French explorers felt when they started hacking away at the vines and trees that literally was swallowing this place up? It’s the biggest spiritual/religious complex on the planet. It deserves to be treated with reverence and respect, for the sake of its significance and for the Khmer people. #angkorwat #angkorthom #nikonusa #buddhism #king #tombraider #away #tripme #traveling #alone #photooftheday #new #happiness #travelingram #instago #instatravel #travelworld #instago #beautifulplace #travelpics #travellife #instafollow #travellife #FF #igtravel #followme #travelphotography #cambodia #khmer August 10, 2018 at 07:20PM

Kathmandu, Nepal-Another glimpse of Sadhus from one of the most significant Hindu temple complexes of South Asia, Pashupatinath. It’s here on the Bagmati River where the remains of the deceased are burned 24 hours a day. One of the most shocking, eye-opening experiences of my life was my first visit to Pashupatinath. Many Sadhus who’s life mission is to find moksha, or enlightenment live around this complex. Not sure how close these babas are to moksha but they are probably the most photographed Sadhus in all of Nepal. #kathmandu #hindu #hinduism #nepal #himalayas #tibetan #tibetan #podcast #photojournalism #trekking #backpacking #away #tripme #traveling #alone #photooftheday #buddhism #new#happiness#travelingram #instago #instatravel#traveltheworld #instago #beautifulplace#travelpics#travellife #wildernessculture#instafollow#travellife #igtravel #travelphotography August 09, 2018 at 06:50PM

Kathmandu, Nepal-In a few weeks I’ll be back in Kathmandu which will be my 8th visit in as many years. No Starbucks, McDonalds, Uniqlo, or H&M. Relatively undeveloped, fiercely independent, it’s one of the few authentic travel experiences left in Asia. Never knew how much this place would have an impact on the direction of my life, starting out with a 4 day sightseeing visit after almost 3 weeks in Tibet 8 years ago. No problem getting these Sadhus or holy men to pose for you as long as you’ve got some baksheesh in your pocket. You’ll find them around Durbar Square or where this was captured, Pashupatinath Temple. #kathmandu #hindu #hinduism #nepal #himalayas #tibetan #tibetan #podcast #photojournalism #trekking #backpacking #away #tripme #traveling #alone #photooftheday #buddhism #new#happiness#travelingram #instago #instatravel#traveltheworld #instago #beautifulplace#travelpics#travellife #wildernessculture#instafollow#travellife #igtravel #travelphotography August 08, 2018 at 03:56PM

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam-Binh Tay Market is a wholesale market located in Cholon mostly serving locals. It’s a very cool place to hangout and watch everyday life but as there are tons of people coming and going, loading up stuff on their motorbikes, it can get a little insane and dangerous-they won’t wait for you to get out of the way! Vietnam’s biggest city is changing rapidly-quite possibly at a pace unrivalled in Southeast Asia. Who knows how much longer this way of life will carry on. If you’re thinking of going I wouldn’t hesitate! #vietnam #saigon #hochiminhcity #fuji #myfujifilm #fujifilm #streetlife #streetphotography#photojournalism #away #tripme #traveling #alone #photooftheday #new#happiness#travelingram #instago #instatravel#traveltheworld #beautifulplace#travelpics#travellife #backpacking #instalikers #dreambigger #instafollow#travellife #igtravel #followme #travelphotographyoftheday August 07, 2018 at 08:46AM

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam-You can modernize and spit shine it, clear off the sidewalks, whatever! But you’re never going to take the badass out of Saigon! #vietnam #saigon #hochiminhcity #fuji #myfujifilm #fujifilm #streetlife #streetphotography#photojournalism #away #tripme #traveling #alone #photooftheday #new#happiness#travelingram #instago #instatravel#traveltheworld #beautifulplace#travelpics#travellife #backpacking #instalikers #dreambigger #instafollow#travellife #igtravel #followme #travelphotographyoftheday August 06, 2018 at 12:23PM

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam-The absolutely striking Central Post Office in District 1. Close by the old Presidential Palace and The Notre Dam Basilica. The French went to great lengths and spared no expense in the recreation of their lifestyle in Southeast Asia. Still a working post office to this day with a huge portrait of Uncle Ho presiding over the building. #vietnam #saigon #hochiminhcity #fuji #myfujifilm #fujifilm #streetphotography#photojournalism #away #tripme #traveling #alone #photooftheday #new#happiness#travelingram #instago #instatravel#traveltheworld #beautifulplace#travelpics#travellife #backpacking #instalikers #dreambigger #instafollow#travellife #igtravel #followme #travelphotographyoftheday August 05, 2018 at 06:14PM

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam-Street life in District 1. One of the pleasures of an observer like me is the unfolding of life before your very eyes in the cities of Southeast Asia. Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1 is where most of the tourist attractions and modern shopping is located but there still remains these pockets of regular life amidst the high rises and shopping malls. For how long who knows….. #vietnam #saigon #hochiminhcity #fuji #myfujifilm #fujifilm #streetphotography#photojournalism #away #tripme #traveling #alone #photooftheday #new#happiness#travelingram #instago #instatravel#traveltheworld #beautifulplace#travelpics#travellife #backpacking #instalikers #dreambigger #instafollow#travellife #igtravel #followme #travelphotographyoftheday August 04, 2018 at 09:46AM

Kota Kinabalu, Malaysian Borneo-KK is a great base camp in Sabah. Close to some pretty impressive adventure activities like mountain climbing to the roof of Borneo-Mt. Kinabalu, world class beaches, wildlife parks and more. The food choices in KK are outstanding with the bounty of the sea and fertile land and jungle close by. I tasted so many varieties of durian it is easily one of the top destinations on the planet for fruit lovers. Spend hours eating and snacking your way through the night market. #kotakinabalu #food #nightmarket #tropicalfruit #borneo #malaysia #cafe #photojournalism #trekking #backpacking #away #tripme #traveling #alone #photooftheday #new#happiness#travelingram #instago #instatravel#traveltheworld #beautifulplace#travelpics#travellife #wildernessculture#instafollow#travellife #igtravel #travelphotography August 03, 2018 at 09:39AM
