The temples of Angkor might be the most photogenic place on Earth. The entire Angkor complex is one of the largest pre-industrial cities in the world covering over 1,000km. Built by the Khmer Empire during 9th to 15th Centuries, there are over 1,000 temples scattered over the site. The main temple of Angkor Wat is one of the largest religious monuments in the world, dedicated first as a Hindu temple of the God Vishnu and later rededicated as a Buddhist temple. Angkor is is truly one of the wonders of the world and should be on everyone’s short list of places to visit.

In March 2007 I sold my house and have been traveling around the world ever since. Since I started traveling, I have probably done and seen more than I have in the rest of my life combined.
So far I have visited all 7 continents, over 100 countries, 49/50 US states, 9/10 Canadian provinces, every Australian state and territory, over 100 US National Park Service sites and over 150 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
