Toronto, Canada

Toronto - BeachFest in the summer. Why a big Maple Lodge Chicken??? This just has "Kodak Moment" witten all over it!!! I've travelled around the world- but only here after moving back to Toronto do I get to meet the Maple Lodge Farms Chicken!

Toronto, Canada - moving back

Vancouver, BC, Canada

This was my first stop when I returned to Canada. Vancouver to visit my bestest friend in the world! She thought is was silly, but I decided to carry on the tradition here at home as well...

Uluru (Ayers Rock), Australia

Uluru (or Ayers Rock) is a World Heritage Site and is one of the world's most mysterious natural wonders. It' s located 475km south of Alice Springs, Australia.

The Devils Marbles, Australia

The Devils Marbles, middle of nowhere Australia, 393km North of Alice Springs and 9km South of Wauchope - the wind was so strong in the middle of the outback it almost blew me off this rock!

Australia Again

A random pose along a random road in the random outback of random Australia.

Kakadu National Park, Australia

On top of some big rock formations in Kakadu National Park which besides the striking scenery, is of high cultural significance because of the Aboriginal paintings. Everything you see in the background used to be covered with water.

Singapore

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Koh Phi Phi, Thailand

This photo was taken without me knowing it. We were having a contest to see who could do the funniest thing while balancing on the post in this photo. Needless to say I won - this is even after a few "beverages" and a full day of volunteering in the heat and humidity! I also did have a bathing suit on underneath - so NO I was not flashing anyone this time!

Krabi, Thailand

This was taken at King Climbers the climbing centre at Railay & Krabi, after our last day of rock climbing in Thailand. I met a wicked-ass Canadian named Nicole who was my climbing partner and we had the greatest instructor (a thai guy named Rit) who had been recommended to me by some other travellers I'd met along the way. Highly highly recommend stopping here! It's some of the most scenic climbing I have seen!

Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Another amazing ruin at Angkor Wat. I was trying not to flash anyone my underwear and didn't want the locals to think I was disrespectful.

Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia

The very very amazing ruins at Angkor Wat - where even after three days there is sstill more to see! The temples are spread out over 65 kms around Siem Reap. They were built between the 18th & 13th centuries and range from single towers made of bricks to vast stone temple complexes. Some of the most beautiful ruins ever! And great photo opportunities!

Vitenam

Muang Ngoi, Laos

Pai, Northern Thailand

To get to Pai you must voyage either east from Chiang Mai or west from Mae Hong Son travelling on one of the most beautiful, gut-wrenching mountain passes known to man. Pai is (or was) a quaint little village that was a hidden treasure. But like all beautiful secret escape, over time word of mouth gets out and people flock to the area. Nothing is left untouched. The tourists come and go or fall in love with the place and stay - and the next thing you know, the place is transformed into whatever these "farang" want it to be! Anyway - not far form there there are several waterfalls. I can't remember exactly where this one was, but they were all beautiful. I am sad to think that Pai has probably only become more invaded!

Khao San Road, Bangkok, Thialand

Banglore, India

This is me at a market in Banglore. We had a great time here and I was offered a role in an Indian Coke commercial, as well as told I was an "Indian Barbie". Well well well...unfortunately most poeple are just trying to get you to buy something. I did find out later though that the commercial was real. I ended up buying a green sari as well as some fabric and bangles. So many beautiful fabrics that don't fit into a backpack!

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

It was a lovely day in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - at the famous Pão d'Açucar (or the Sugarloaf). This photo was taken less than 1/2 way up and shows some of Rio's beaches in the background. When we got to the top we could see NOTHING but clouds all around us. Maybe you can't tell but I was hung over in this picture - it was the day after New Year's!
