    Ukraine Possible Invasion & Lviv & Lima Blathering Plans and Thoughts

    Ukraine Possible Invasion & Lviv & Lima Blathering Plans and Thoughts

    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.

    My Cambodia Adventure Part 7 - Barbecued Rats & Flying Bats

    My Cambodia Adventure Part 7 - Barbecued Rats & Flying Bats

    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.

    My Cambodia Adventure Part 6 - Date Night in Cambodia

    My Cambodia Adventure Part 6 - Date Night in Cambodia

    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.

    Ask me some questions on my substack :)

    My Cambodia Adventure Part 5 - First Day in BattamBang - Tuk Tuks, Worm Food, a Circus and so Much More

    My Cambodia Adventure Part 5 - First Day in BattamBang - Tuk Tuks, Worm Food, a Circus and so Much More

    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! :)
