With its ancient history and evolving city, Cambodia is worth a visit.

Depending on your definition of "continental" I may or may not have stood at the southernmost point of continental Asia which is proclaimed to be located on Singapore's Sentosa Island.

I hiked the longest river in Singapore! 😀

Normally, hiking the longest river in a country would be an amazing feat of endurance. But when the longest river is just 10k long, it's a bit more doable!

We made it back to Singapore! It took two months longer than planned due to covid restrictions and we have to serve another two-week quarantine. But I am looking forward to getting out and exploring this beautiful country again. And just maybe, we'll be able to travel someplace else soon.

I created this image from three photos I took at Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark. The buildings hold so many secrets and stories.

One picture can’t capture the unforgettable Kennecott Mine. Blog post coming soon. It’s worth the effort getting there. 60 miles on a dirt road, walking on a footbridge across the Kennicott River, walking 5 miles or taking a shuttle to the abandoned copper mine.

Hiking, history and beautiful views make for a perfect day.
