Mom and baby baboon in Kruger National Park, South Africa
One of my favourite animals to watch in the wild are monkeys. I especially enjoy seeing the dynamics within a troop of baboons and I hold a special place for moms and babies.

By the Atlantic Ocean near Lac Rose, Senegal
A flashback to ATV riding on this beach in rural Senegal near Lac Rose (Lake Retba). I rode around the ‘pink

As we walked across this walkway, a memory of his days in Yangon as a teen came back to him. He recalled visits to this market and hanging out with friends at a cousin’s nearby shop.
Trees in Kruger National Park, South Africa
One of my favourite things about the Kruger National Park is the diversity, in animals and landscapes. You can go from finding leopards in the thick bush where they like to hide to finding cheetah in open plains where they like to roam.
A dead tamarind tree in Amarapura, Myanmar
This image is a dead tamarind tree in Taungthaman lake near U Bein bridge in Amarapura, Myanmar. My travels took me to 5 continents in 2015 which included two new continents — Asia and South America and new countries — India, Thailand, Brazil and Myanmar. Though I saw some breathtaking places and had incredible experiences, nothing compared to finally getting to my paternal ancestral home of Myanmar.
The feeling of walking in the footsteps of my father, grandparents, great & great-great grandparents and meeting about 70+ members of my family in Mandalay and Yangon is hard to put into words.
