My Siem Reap Bucket List
1. Crocodile Farm: Went on a road trip with some friends from Siem Reap to Battambang, Cambodia. One of our stops was a crocodile farm where crocs are bred and raised for their meat and skin. Straightaway the owner showed us his baby crocs and offered to let us pick anyone of them up to hold.

A Portfolio of Poetry (2018)
Battling the Demons It seems there are times more often than I’d like to admit, That I spend watching the ice melt, Into the caramel color, And the pile of ash and embers grow into a mound. I think of my failed dreams in the cage, How a head kick and a right hand, Shattered my pedestal, That was already fragile. I miss the restless nights in the gym Suffering in beautiful agony, As we sharpened our swords, […]

Exiting Japan: Tokyo
Tokyo was my last stop for my Japan trip and I had some reservations about going. I was growing tired of big cities, debating an over-packed itinerary, and was worried about being overwhelmed by a city even bigger than my old home of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. So, I just stuck with my instincts: check out a neighborhood a day at a time, relax at night, and just ride the wave. It was also the first time I decided to […]
