Killing Fields
It's tough to view the monument of skulls at the Killing Fields in Cambodia, but it's a necessary stop in order to understand the torid history.

Open Sesame
As I wandered around a Laos village outside of Luang Prabang in search of whiskey, I stumbled across this brother and sister. Better than whiskey any day!

Game Face
This young rower on the Laos Boat Racing team was focused. I loved his cowboy hat and bandana, making him look like a Laoation Cowboy....and definitely a competitor.

Fast and Furious
Story written 13 June 2008
The Mekong River overflows with testosterone and paddles in September as villages compete for bragging rights on the Mekong near Vientiane, Laos.
Team Transportation
The team leaves after a long day of racing. They seemed quite happy riding in the 'team bus'...or maybe they were just happy to be done with a long day on the river!

Spiritual Spectators
The banks of the Mekong were lined with spectators watching the boat races. My favoriet were the monks that had come out to watch - brighly standing out in their orange.

Faling Behind
Boat Racing on the Mekong brings excitement and heartache. I watched from the coaches boat with the pink flag fell behind in the race. A heartbreaking feeling in any language.

Currently in Wisconsin fighting off mosquitos.
I am a professional traveler. Ha...I wish. However last year I left my big corporate job and travel around the world for 16 months. I fell in love with traveling to developing countries and interacting/learning about locals and their culture. I've vowed to never go back behind a desk working for large corporation. Life is short, so why not enjoy it! I am now moving to Vietnam to live, teach, write and photograph SE Asia. The adventure continues!
