Editor's Notes
- I am not expert travellor very far removed fromIt…But I have street cred.As far I can remmeber my family was always vacationing and travellingMy dad was one of the those 70’s hippies in marrakeshStarted travelling when I was 16 – first trip was NYAnd the journey began at the age of 19. Since then I have been on the move every 9 months until I hit Siem Reap 3 years ago and just semi stopped. I still get to travel 2 months a year but not nearly as much I would like.Lived in 4 countries – when I mean live more than 1 years
- My life is so crazy that every morning I can’t believe that it happens. I am truly thankful for each day….2 days ago.Unupdatedblog because blogspot is banned in cambodia and facebook has taken over.
