Heritage

My memories of the Great Wall are numerous. I have visited several sections of the wall and each section has unique features.

The Philippines’ spectacular Banaue rice terraces are over 2000 years old, and home to the Ifugao former headhunters. The perfect place for an exhilarating and exhausting adventure.

Sagada is a mysterious village in a mountainous province of the Philippines, about 250 miles from Manila. It’s just under a mile above sea-level and situated near the Chico River, much of it on switch back mountain roads.

A visit to the notorious Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, known as S-21, as well as the Killing Fields to learn more about what happened here.

Sapa or “Sa Pa,” is situated near the border with China in Lao Cai province. It’s a difficult place to reach — the most popular way in is by overnight train

This is one of the most ancient civilizations on Earth, with over 5,000 years of history. And this is a part of it – Jaisalmer — in the Rajasthan region of the country.

Torajaland is a place unlike any other, both for its unique culture and stunning landscapes.

I had the chance to visit with the Red Yao in person. Most tourists know of a place called Guilin, but have you heard about the area of Longsheng about three and a half hours north?

The Cheung Chau Bun Festival is an annual festival held on the small island of Cheung Chau in Hong Kong. I attended this unique festival several times while I was living in Hong Kong.

It is the most vital monument in all of Indonesia and the largest Buddhist temple anywhere on the planet; a private breakfast with an unobstructed view of this wonder is an opportunity not to be missed.

Just as the sun was starting to make its presence felt, we slowly floated upwards in our 8 passenger balloon. It was surprisingly quiet and serene. I quickly began to see Bagan in a way that I had missed on my many previous visits. The scenery was absolutely stunning

The Chin tribe of Myanmar, which live near the Bangladesh border not far from Mrauk U, are a people who wear facial tattoos. I journeyed to this corner of Asia to seek out the answers of why exactly do they undergo the process of getting such tattoos, which might seem extreme in Western culture.
