This series of landscapes is culled from my travels through Asia and the Western United States late in 2018. I spent three months in a bare-bones trek through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, using only local transport, rented mopeds or bicycle. I stayed in hostels or homestays. I went during the rainy season so I was constantly somewhere between just moist to soaking wet. You learn to adapt and keep your cameras dry.

Almost as soon as I returned to the States, I fulfilled a long-standing dream to drive, very slowly, across the US in a rented RV. I was frequently moved to tears by the Utah desert. The mountains of Northern Vietnam around Du Gia were another highlight. The fabled Northern Loop is a must-do for the intrepid traveler..
