Nevada- a land full of fun. I visit Lake Tahoe during the sleepy season, take a detour to Death Valley and spend Halloween in Las Vegas.

California II; San Francisco to Big Sur
San Francisco to Big Sur- with a stop in Monteray. I go to my first ever Korean bath house and get naked! Then I get food poisoning and almost poop in the street like everyone else. Just kidding- but all of that does happen. I go to Monterey and visit Big Sur. California III will include Sequoia and Yosemite. IV parts total.

Portland, Oregon, USA
My time in Portland is full of adventure and weirdness to say the least. I stay in the hills near the Japanese gardens in a cute AirBnb, drive into town, go to Williamette for wine, and visit a state park to do a hike with 10 waterfalls. I also get touched by a homeless man, eat lots of doughnuts and go on a date.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia
After visiting the thriving city of Siem Reap I arrive to Phnom Penh and learn about a secret war, a war my country has hidden from me. A genocide! I learn about this my first day, attend a theatre performance and dine in the dark. It’s a short time spent in a sombering state.

Siem Reap, Cambodia
As soon as I land in Cambodia I feel the euphoria of an energy vortex. I have such a fun time, form a group of 5 single travellers turn friends, and see all the temples! We also check out many restaurants- sharing food, and bars at night. It’s a much needed time spent with a dependable group; I still venture out solo, too.

Railay and Krabi, Thailand
I visit Railay- stay on East but frequent the West beach often. I go to a ladyboy show and watch a ton of sunsets. Then I navigate my way to Krabi which is a fiasco and not worth my time. Krabi Town would be great on it’s own but not for only 1 day- I thought it would be a convenient stop on my way to Siem Reap. Wrong.
