I'm getting ready for another big series of travels and am now faced with the prospect of traveling to a country that might soon get invaded (re-invaded?!), Ukraine, or just going straight for South America.

Anyway, this is my blatherings on this part of travel.

Sorry for not finishing Cambodia or New Years subjects, I just haven't had the energy recently, which I address in the podcast.

My Cambodia Adventure Part 7 - Barbecued Rats & Flying Bats

Episode 22

Monday, December 20, 2021 • Duration 28:17

Send a text

It was time for some more touristing around Battambang, Cambodia and the main attraction this day would be an army of bats!!!

We rented a tuk tuk for the day, lost 2 girls to food poisoning, tended to my now severe leg burns from the rooftop canal boat ferry ride the other day, invaded an elementary school playground, feasted on country rats, and gawked at armies of bats descending upon the Cambodian forest to begin their evening feast.

My Cambodia Adventure Part 6 - Date Night in Cambodia

Episode 21

Sunday, December 12, 2021 • Duration 31:11

Send a text

The night starts with a date in a lovely funny town in Cambodia called BattamBang with a beautiful Italian girl... and her unsuspecting local lesbian Tinder date... can you say AWKWARD?!?!

The night ended with drunk scootering around the city with a former American Cambodian gang member who was deported back to Cambodia and an Australian bar owner who might also have been exiled from the land down-under.

It was a crazy night that capped-off a crazy day in a place I had never even heard of just a few days prior to this.

My Cambodia Adventure Part 5 - First Day in BattamBang - Tuk Tuks, Worm Food, a Circus and so Much More

Episode 20

Sunday, December 5, 2021 • Duration 26:13

Send a text

This is the story of my first full day in the city of Battambang Cambodia with my new travel family. It involves recovering from massive sunburn, touring local markets full of worm vendors and knock-off everything and squactopus fish lol, and also a drunken bamboo railway adventure, renting a tuk-tuk for a day, fake police stops and bribes and a Simple Jack Tropic Thunder style jungle theater production!

It was a truly fun and goofy day and it was perfect, especially due to the amazing travel family that I had! :)

Man Abroad is Not a Man Long Forlorn

- Me

This is a story of how I came to have one of my best travel families ever, and a truly magical experience in Cambodia.

In this episode, I meet my travel family and my guide.

I get a massage from blind people that closely resembles torture, the guide gets a drive-by scooter mugging, I lose a girl to a total twat but end up with 2 Brazilians, Odin's Daughter is punched by her one-night man and everyone somehow manages to come together to make it on an 8 hour canal boat journey from Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) to the magical and unexpected city of Battambang, Cambodia, which is where the real crazy adventure begins :)

Cambodia Adventure - Angkor Wat - Exploring the Ancient World - (Part 3)

Episode 18

Monday, November 22, 2021 • Duration 29:02

Send a text

Part 3 of my Cambodian Adventure takes us to the world famous Angkor Wat, an ancient mega-city, that rivaled any other city on the planet at the time.

Touring Angkor Wat is one of the coolest things that I have ever done - it takes you back into time as you travel by Tuk-Tuk from Temple to Temple, driving on dirt roads through this ancient city, taking you deeper into the Jungle and farther away from modernity as you see these magnificently carved stones seemingly growing from the ground and shooting into the sky, interwoven with trees and vines alike, people riding elephants through the Jungle in the background, and wrinkle-inducing smiles as you traverse the ancient ruins like a hungover and excited Indiana Jones!

Needless to say, I love this place! :)

Travel to San Francisco - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Episode 17

Monday, November 15, 2021 • Duration 01:30:40

Send a text

This is my trip to San Francisco in all of its honest and raw glory, sadness, and happiness.

I'm giving you guys the real-deal on San Francisco, no sugar-coating, just what I experienced, from drug addicts and homeless people to the cutest architecture in the world to covid sadness and from plastic food to amazing food, from Alcatraz to Clam Chowder and so much more.

My experience here was a full one and I am happy to have visited this city - it has a lot of things going on and is definitely worth a visit if you're around USA.

(This episode interrupts my Cambodia story because I wanted to share my San Francisco trip while it's still fresh. I will take you back to the Cambodian adventure next week though!)

Cambodia P2 (Siem Reap) - Gourmet Bugs for Food & Drugged Pizzas - The Better Baby Bangkok

Episode 16

Monday, November 8, 2021 • Duration 27:56

Send a text

My adventures in Siem Reap Cambodia were plenty and full of food and drink and laughs and great times and this podcast covers those great times before I embarked upon the touristy elements of this adventure.

This little city is the second largest in Cambodia and its main draw is the pile of rocks outside the city that used to be a world-class leading cutting-edge masterpiece of engineering, but this episode of my podcast deals more with the essence of modern day Siem Reap and the vibe and feeling and experience of the city.

My adventure in Cambodia, 30 days that ranged from full-on tourism to full-on party to full-on beach life to some of the best travelers I have ever met and the best people I have ever met, was the best adventure of my life.

I hope you enjoy following me on this adventure :)
