Remarkable Kompong Phluk Floating Village

Kampong Phluk Stilt Village and Flooded Forest on Lake Tonle Sap. Kampong Phluk is located ~20 miles southwest of downtown Siem Reap. Much of the way is on an unpaved dirt road so you can expect the journey to take you 40 minutes to one hour. Kampong Phluk (which means “Harbor of the Tusks”) is home to ~700 families with a total population of around 3,500 people. Everything in this town is either built 20 feet above land or is designed to float so it can rise and fall with the water level of the Tonle Sap Lake. Make sure to visit the “flooded forest”. There are a number of flooded mangrove forests on the edges of the Tonle Sap, but the one at Kampong Phluk is the largest in the Siem Reap province. #optoutside #postcardsfromtheworld #roamtheplanet #solotravel #wanderlust #travelphotography #traveltheworld #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers#cambodia

get lost in the lost city of Ephesus

this is an incredible ancient treasure located just outside the seaside town of Izmir turkey. well before the collapse of the ottoman empire this city was a port town city inhabited by the ancient Romans.

You’ll be amazed by all the small theaters and large coliseums ocean pillars will tower above you with Roman design and spectacular Roman architecture.

Downtown Sydney is iconic in every way

Did you know that Paul Robeson was the first person to perform at Sydney Opera House. In 1960, he climbed the scaffolding and sang Ol' Man River to the construction workers as they ate lunch. 😂😂 The Australians have such a great sense of humor and you will enjoy going to Sydney. In addition the Sydney Opera House was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 20th October, 1973. She has since visited four times, most recently in 2006. Plus did you know Arnold Schwarzenegger (former actor and Governor of California) won his final Mr Olympia body building title in 1980 in the Concert Hall? you’ll have many other surprises when you visit downtown in Sydney and stop by and see the Sydney opera house. #sydney #travellust #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #mynovgetaway #optoutside #postcardsfromtheworld #roamtheplanet #solotravel #wanderlust #travelphotography #traveltheworld #mytripvlog #2023travelwish

Ethiopian tribes 1000’s of years ago

I unfortunately I had to significantly edit (because of community rules regulations) many the pictures not to show many of the people. They don’t wear much clothes in this part of the world as the temperature frequently rises above 40*C But here’s what I am allowed to show you. This experience should be on the top of the list for anyone who wants to experience the way the world was 10,000 years ago.. you will fly into Addis Ababa Ethiopia and make your way by small plane and for my Ford truck to the southern border of Ethiopia and Kenya.  These people, along with hundreds of other tribes, all live in the Omo Valley of southern Ethiopia. Getting there, however, is incredibly difficult: planes do not fly and roads are either in terrible condition or nonexistent. they are rapidly disappearing in numbers. I guarantee this will truly be an adventure of a lifetime. #ethiopia #tripblazers #SpooktacularTrip #Travel Inspiration #tripblazers #optoutside #postcardsfromtheworld #roamtheplanet #solotravel #wanderlust #travelphotography #optoutside #postcardsfromtheworld #roamtheplanet #solotravel #wanderlust #travelphotography #traveltheworld #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #traveltheworld

Phi Phi Islands are the “summit adventure”!

This incredible archipelago is located approximately 90 minutes by boat off of the coast of Krabi Thailand. The Phi Phi Islands or a series of smaller islands including bamboo island, coconut island and Maya bay.  When you arrive from Krabi on the mainland I highly suggest that you rent a long boat with Captain and Guide So that you can experience this incredible archipelago privately and over the course of a full day are you going to fully take in the magnificent scope of its splendor and beauty. bamboo island is one of my favorites. It is a small island of white powdered sand beach surrounded by rich deep blue and turquoise crystal clear waters. This is a national park so yours day will require a small entry fee but it is more than worth it to spend time soaking in the warm rays of sunshine as you lay down in pure tropical luxury. I enjoyed the fact that there were not any local vendors trying to sell me products or anything else as I enjoy the solitude of this magnificent heaven on earth beach. #thailand #krabi #phuket #phiphiislands #longboat #tripblazers #optoutside #postcardsfromtheworld #roamtheplanet #solotravel #wanderlust #travelphotography #optoutside #postcardsfromtheworld #roamtheplanet #solotravel #wanderlust #travelphotography #traveltheworld #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #traveltheworld

Situated in Barangay Sirao, this flower farm is reminiscent of Amsterdam, with all sorts of flowers neatly arranged and in various colors.

UNFORGETTABLE BRUCE LEE EXPERIENCE!

Just as Brandon Lee died before the release of The Crow, Bruce Lee died before the release of Game of Death. In fact, for many people, the similarity between this fictional scene and what really happened helped create a Mandela effect, a situation in which a mass of people believe a false event occurred — in this case, that both Bruce Lee and his son Brandon died due to a gunshot wound received on set. At last they both Rest In Peace. #tripblazers #Karate #likewater #Travel Inspiration  #optoutside #postcardsfromtheworld #2023travelwish #celebratewithtrip #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #passionpassport #roamtheplanet #solotravel #wanderlust #travelphotography #traveltheworld#Bruselee

MUST VISIT Emerald Paradise in Chiang Mai.

This was shot in Tham Phatai National Park. Sorry for not providing an exact GPS location… Notice the huge fish swimming in the Emerald Water? The national park can be found nestled in the remote mountainside about 2 hours outside of Chiang Mai in the aw-inspiring nature-filled Providence of Lampang. Filled with waterfalls, limestone caves, and a strikingly beautiful emerald pond, yet completely untouched by tourism (for now), this national park is a true hidden gem of the north.#tripblazers #trailblazer #thailand #changmai #optoutside #postcardsfromtheworld #roamtheplanet #solotravel #wanderlust ##Emeraldlake #travelphotography #optoutside #postcardsfromtheworld #roamtheplanet #solotravel #wanderlust #travelphotography #traveltheworld #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #traveltheworld#tripblazers #urbanexplorer #2023travelwish
