These 9 months of travel have been an incredible learning experience. We’ve seen a lot of good bits: spectacular nature, beautiful people and fascinating cultures. Part of the trip though has been seeing first hand the utter devastation that we as humans are capable of. It has been painful, challenging, and thought-provoking.
A visit to the 10th century Banteay Srei temple, the crown jewel of Khmer architecture. Banteay Srei was built by a Brahmin – rather than your typical Varman (king) — in honor of Hindu god Shiva. The rose-colored sandstone carvings are spectacular even in 100+ degree heat. Banteay Srei was one of our favorites in the Angkor complex!
It’s 4 o’clock on the river! Just enjoying some hammock time in our bungalow at Bodhvilla guesthouse on Kampot river, Cambodia.
A visit to the Amber fort, formerly the royal residence of the Jaipur kings. All of it is all the more fascinating for Jenia, who is currently reading A Princess Remembers by Gayatri Devi, who was married to the last Maharaja of Jaipur.
Coming to you from the rooftop of an art gallery in Colaba neighborhood, Mumbai, India.
A stop at Sonu juice, one of our favorites in Pushkar. Fresh fruit salads and juices, yum.
