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.

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 :)

I hope you enjoy the fun little adventure and the romantic story in this episode! :)

No Fairytale Travels - My Cambodia Adventure Part 6 - Date Night in Cambodia
play

12/12/21 • 31 min

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.

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! :)

Here, I head East, taking a train from Paris through Germany and Austria and all the way down to Ljubljana, Slovenia for my first new adventure on this trip.
I visited 3 cities in Slovenia (Ljubljana, Bled, and Maribor) and met many interesting people, tried new foods, went crazy in a hostel, had lots of fun in a hostel, and everything in-between.
This was a good all around adventure and it felt great to go explore a new place :)

No Fairytale Travels - My Cambodia Adventure Part 7 - Barbecued Rats & Flying Bats
play

12/20/21 • 28 min

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.
