With 3 days before I return to Korea, I have put together this video from the last time I was there. It shows why I’m happy to be going back. Even if it’s only for 1 month. Most of these clips are from my Canon 7D. Video not working? Click here for Youtube.

We travel from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap on 100cc Scooters to check out some of the most awesome temple ruins on earth. This is a bit of [...]

Tag Safari has an interesting range of safari gear including the essential Livingstone Pith Helmet. The gear is made from quality, durable fabrics and comes [...]
