My current travel adventure is 3 months of travelling in Vietnam and Thailand during 2019. I'll explore some new places as well as return to some of my favorites. The itinerary is pretty flexible, so all options are open.

My previous adventures included:

2013 - 6 months in Nepal, India, Malaysia, Burma, Thailand and the Philippines

2010 - 3 months travelling through all 7 countries in Central America, including Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama

2008 - 4 month in SE Asia, including Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia

Hope you enjoy

Not a backpacker in sight !!

My cheap Tiger Air flight landed in Clark, Philippines yesterday. I kind of knew what to expect, but thought it would be better than arriving in Manila at midnight.  Well, Angeles/Clark is just as bad as I thought it would be.  It's full of Sex Workers and their older male customers.  It used to be the main US Air Force Base in the Philippines.  Apparently at it's peak, there were 100,000 sex workers here.  Now there are only 10,000.
The only tourists I've seen are older men with very young Filippino girls on their arms.   Not a backpacker in sight.
I fly to the islands and beaches in the Visayas tonight.  It has some of the best diving, snorkeling and beaches in the world.  Can't wait to get out of here.  This place is creeping me out.
