Tools for the New Global

May 16, 2010

*Warning - This is a geeky post that i’m actually quite proud of.
I have the amazing opportunity to not only travel a lot, but to also be in near constant communication with Asia and North America via phone, text, and email. I’ll be honest: it’s fun. But how does it all happen? I get questions [...]

Hong Kong Report

May 11, 2010

I just spent about 48 hours in Hong Kong with a coworker. I always enjoy opportunities to go to Hong Kong because it’s one of the most fascinating cities in the world. The entire city is man made and is just a remarkable spectacle to see and experience. The public transportation is efficient, the food [...]

Flying in Asia

May 4, 2010

If you’re a frequent flyer in America then you have undoubtedly been affected by intense security measures taken by the TSA, rude flight attendants, and fees for everything.

Friends World Wide

April 25, 2010

My friend, Lana, is traveling to something like 11 countries in 11 months. It’s nutty. Her team spends one month in each country working alongside an NGO to help them in whatever it is that they are doing. This month she’s been in Cambodia and we were able to meet up for dinner in Phnom [...]

A Few Quick Facts about Phnom Penh

April 24, 2010

1. It’s far hotter than i was anticipating.
2. I’m guaranteed to get ripped off every time i take a tuk tuk anywhere in town. Today we came back from the mall and the driver told us $10, i said no and gave him $4. He drove away smiling. He really thought i might pay $10!! [...]

Today was our second day around Phnom Penh, Cambodia as we look at how we’re going to make our film next week. Shooting begins on Sunday so we need to have a really good plan by then. Here are some clips that i captured today:
