In May, I wrote a 48-hour piece on my new home town of Vientiane, Laos for the popular Asian travel magazine, DestinAsian. It was great to include many of the restaurants, cafes, shops and other places that make this city so unique and interesting.
Here are the highlights of spending a weekend in Vientiane...
Amidst all our crazy Laos preparations, I took a side trip for another wine travel story for Selector Magazine.
This time I was headed to the lesser known region of Langhorne Creek, about an hour outside of Adelaide in South Australia. This tiny region is one of the country's biggest wine producers but most Australians have never heard of it...
I hate to play favourites but I just loved Cloudy Bay Homestead's free-range lamb farm on the beautiful Bruny Island in Tasmania.
Maybe it was the serenity and natural beauty - big, empty horizons and green fields fringed by blue sea. Maybe it was that the sheep were so damn cute and fluffy. Or maybe it was because it was my birthday and I was just feeling good.
