💩 Happens When You Travel

February 10, 2018 by Abdul Rastagar6 Comments

I didn’t think much of it at first. His face was somewhat pale and the ever-present smile had been replaced by a slightly anguished expression. He mentioned he was cold but how could this be? We were in the middle of the hot and humid Cambodian jungle. Maybe it was just exhaustion from a long day of exploring Angkor Wat? I figured if we just rested a while, we’d be OK. Then 💩 happened. Literally. The next few hours were spent assisting him back … [Read more...]

The Phenomenal Fortitude of Cambodia’s Emerging Capital

June 14, 2017 by Jarard Paige2 Comments

Phnom Penh, Cambodia Gray and gritty...these are the two words that rise to the surface when I reflect on our brief 4 days in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Pen.

Everything is impossible, until it happens

Backpacker at the airport

In late 2013, I decided to ride a bicycle through Africa in an attempt to turn my life around. My parents had passed away back home in Ireland but, to tell the truth, it was not their memory that had dislodged my equilibrium, it was me indulging in self-destruction. It all seemed so impossible on the airplane as I sat reading a beginner’s manual about how to repair punctures, but after a year spent riding through deserts, mountains, remote … [Read more...]

How Todays Hipster Makers Travel

February 5, 2015 by Jamon Mok2 Comments

The hipster maker culture The maker culture, part tech, part traditional, has been taking the world by storm, at least the hipster spaces.

Its cool, definitely, but I always feel a little underwhelmed after participating in these kind of overpriced workshops. You make something really really simple (in the interests of … [Read more...]
