A Tiny Look Inside, and To What's Next

The Wildest Ferris Wheel: pt 3

The ride has come to a close.  Everyone has kept their dinner where it rightfully belongs, and there is a sense of appreciating life... In the way that you do after a particularly close call.  The ache in your hand rem
The Wildest Ferris Wheel: pt 2

With the weight of the young guys working the ferris wheel shifted to one side, the extra weight causes the spin to begin.  They then grab a hold of the bottom of your little pod, putting their full weight, causing it
The Wildest Ferris Wheel

Adorned in neon lights, yet powered by humans, this is the ferris wheel that rules in Myanmar

Imagine for a moment, powering through the crowd for a seat.  There are no formal lines here.  Drop your 1500 kyat (~$1USD) in th
A Simple How-to Guide to Fire Balloon

Take a 9m (30ft) tall balloon that your community came together to make of paper.  Paint it beautifully and intricately over the course of months.  Inflate it with the hot air and smoke from giant flaming torche
Wandering the Maze

It's been quiet around here as I've been wrapping up year end paperwork for the business, planning upcoming trips, and planning tours

My recently launched "Un-Tour to Myanmar" for November has been the fastest selling t
Taking What The Land Gives

Tin Tin (23) has farmed this land with her family as long as she can remember

The land in the plains of Bagan are hardly optimal for farming.  In fact, the soil is so poor that only a few low-value crops grow here.  Some
The Real Night Lights

We just don't appreciate the stars the way we should, but at least being in Myanmar helps

It's been a little shocking to hear from people in my travels that they haven't really seen the night sky in their life.  I mean *really
The Women Building Myanmar's Backbone

Myanmar has been improving their roads rapidly over the past few years or so, and it's already making a positive impact on the economy as well as increasing the mobility of the citizens.  Newer, wider roads mean
Colours of the Markets

It's a routine.  Early morning, before sunrise, sellers at the street markets head out in the dark to the local fruit and veggie wholesalers.  Digging out their phones, they search for the setting to turn on the flashlight, an
Join me on the "Un-Tour to Myanmar" in November for Food, Festivals and Photography

This super-small group journey (max 8 people) is happening at my favorite time of the year in Myanmar, and around my favorite festival: The Tazaungdaing Fi
Cafe Chernobyl

When you picture the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse in your mind, what does it look like?  Abandoned buildings?  Trees without their foliage, and a world devoid of colors?  This was one of the reasons I went to the Chernobyl Exclus
Cooling Down

Since leaving Ukraine a couple of weeks back, I've been consuming documentaries on long flights and reserving books at the library to have at the ready.  The more I learn about the story, the more I want to know

Discovering Chernobyl

This trip was years in the making

Ever since I was a young nerdy kid, I have been fascinated with nuclear power.  This mysterious energy that we couldn't see with our bare eyes, but had so much potential for good in the world
Epiphany

Traditions are a funny thing.  If they've always been around us, we feel like they are completely normal.  On the other hand, seeing someone else's can often feel like looking into a different world

Epiphany in Kyiv is a curious one for my
Young Nun Life

I had been observing the street market for a couple or hours already, as the sellers traded their vegetables for cold hard Myanmar kyat (the local currency)

You might think that photography means you're always on the move, capturing
