If you’ve been following my summer as a hipster Berliner series on Tumblr, you may have seen that I went to a Polaroid exhibit at C/O Berlin a few days ago. The exhibit of Berlin-born photographer Sibylle Bergemann’s 140 Polaroids was better than expected. And I was expecting something pretty good.
Okay, the title of this post is definitely a bit of a lie. Because actually, I’ve had more than one crazy night out in Berlin in the few weeks I’ve spent in town. But I figured the only way for someone who has never been here is to see (with words, sorry no photos from …
I had a lot of reasons to visit Vietnam while traveling Southeast Asia, but one of the big ones was the food. I didn’t grow up eating Vietnamese food (in fact, I’m pretty sure there weren’t many restaurants in my area at the time), but when I eventually discovered it during university, I was hooked. I …
For the past week I’ve been staying with some extended family of mine (for simplicity’s sake – an aunt, uncle & cousin) in the city formerly known as Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). I have to say, this week has been one of the best all year and I can’t thank them enough for the …
Today’s video of me is from Siam Reap, Cambodia. I’m at the Ta Prohm temple—part of the massive Angkor temple complex (the most famous being Angkor Wat).

I’d read a few things about the notoriously scammy Thai-Cambodia border crossing, and had heard quite a few travel tales, too. Cambodia has quite the reputation for traveler scams and I wanted to avoid as many of them as possible. But as I’m constantly reminded while traveling, things rarely work out how they’re supposed to. …
Okay, I’m going to make this quick. Just wanted to say hi. I’m back in Bangkok for, like, the 5th time. I love this city! Since I left Laos two weeks ago, I’ve been all over the place, have met a ton of awesome people, and really have just had an incredible time. And Songkran …
