Hanoi, Vietnam - I always remember this as one of the first photos I ever took in Vietnam. Standing on the pavement staring in horror at the traffic, wondering how I would ever get across the street, let alone buy a motorbike and join this crazed throng in Vietnam's capital. #hanoi #vietnam #asia #travelling #travel #travelphotography #travelphoto #city #motorbike #rushhour #street #streetphotography #streetphoto

This little shack sits on a small island in the Beagle channel, off the southern tip of Patagonia in Argentina. A wonderful place of raw extremes, seemingly at the end of the world #ushuaia #beaglechannel #patagonia #argentina #southamerica #hut #island #travel #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelling #landscapes #landscape

Hoi An, Vietnam - Not sure entirely why but this has always been one of my favourite photos. A young boy crouched in a door way in beautiful Hoi An. There's something about his denim outfit, the way he's sitting and the philosophical look on his face. Or he could just be staring off into space chewing his fingernails, I'm not sure. #hoian #vietnam #asia #boy #travelling #travelphotography #travelphoto #travel

Krong Kep, Cambodia - Two women working on the seafood market in the small town of Kep at sunset. I have absolutely no idea what I ate that evening, but it mostly delicious. #cambodian #cambodia #asia #asian #seafood #market #seafoodmarket #women #kep #krongkep #travel #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelling #ocean #seascape #sunset

Al Hasa, Saudi Arabia - My first day in Saudi Arabia was by far the most testing of any first day I've had in a country. It began with a four hour wait in immigration (I kid you not). After sleeping for a couple of hours in my apartment I opened the front door to find a sandstorm tearing through the town - a scene as apocalyptical as you get. In the evening I made may way to a small park and sat down as the sun set. Women completely covered in black and the their children passed by. Suddenly the loudspeaker on the mosque on the edge of the park crackled into life as the call to prayer went out. It was followed another, then another, and another - until the air was filled with these mystical sounds drifting towards me from different directions. I've never felt so far from home, and the life I grew up with than that very moment. It was both terrifying and exhilarating. Saudi Arabia was a difficult place to live, but that experience remains one of my most important travel moments for me. #alhasa #saudi #saudiarabia #arabia #travel #travelphotography #travelling #travelphoto #landscapes #landacape #city #desert #oasis

Da Nang, Vietnam - Fishing baskets on the beach in Da Nang in central Vietnam. #vietnam #danang #asia #asian #fishing #beach #fishingboats #travelling #travelphotography #travelphoto #travel #landacape #ocean

The Perfume Pagoda, Vietnam - Aboard a small row boat leading to the Perfume Pagoda in northern Vietnam #vietnam #perfumepagoda #pagoda #woman #rowboat #river #mountains #travelling #travelphotography #travelphoto #travel #landscapes #landacape

Hanoi, Vietnam - The first place I ever lived that felt truly alien to me. A place that could be both intoxicating and maddening, but a wonderful city to spend a couple of years. I always thought this area summed up Hanoi well. The train line leading through a neighbourhood where the buildings are so close you could touch the train. I seem to remember there was even a bar close by where you could sit right next to the tracks. Hanoi is absolute chaos and so much fun. #hanoi #vietnam #asia #asian #city #urban #street #streetphotography #street #streetphoto #travel #travelphotography #travelphoto

Ta Prohm Temple, Siem Reap - Cambodia. Famously used in one of the Tomb Raider films, Ta Prohm forms part of the Angkorian temples near Siem Reap and lies close to it's more famous neighbour Angkor Wat. Built in the late 12th and early 13th Century it has now been overrun by jungle and forest. An absolutely magical place to walk around, where you can be both Lara Croft and Mowgli from the Jungle Book. #angkorwat #angkor #taprohm #temple #khmer #temple #tombraider #junglebook #laracroft #mowgli #junglebook #travel #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelling #jungle #forest #cambodia #asia #asian #siemreap

Pictures of rainbows in windows have become a common sight in Britian during this pandemic. I always find them uplifting and if a child as attempted some kind of sweet scrawled message that's barely readable, even better. Last night, moments before the clap for the NHS and key workers, a real rainbow appeared. #nhs #clapforourcarers #clapfornhs #rainbow #covid19 #covid #coronavirus
