Welcome to my travel blog. My name is James Frazermann and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel many places throughout the world. Many people would argue that world travel changes a person in very positive ways, making their vision wider and enrich their creativity.
The next best thing, or for people planning future trips is to read about other traveler’s eye opening experiences. I thought it would be great to document my experiences in South East Asia and beyond, in hope to deliver some value to others who wanted to go these locations or simply learn more about these countries and their wonderful culture and people. I look forward to seeing the new blog grow and hearing what readers think about it. It’s really a pleasure to write about.
Philippines and Thailand were two of the highlights of my travels. Both countries had their own unique benefits and things to enjoy. In Bangkok I ventured to the Pakkred Babies Home Orphanage, a place desperately in need of funding and assistance of all kinds. A life changing experience, it truly illustrates the differences between the East and West when it comes to the most disadvantaged people and the situations they are forced to live in and make it through. Bathing elephants and tasting the abundance of cuisine Thailand has to offer was also high on the lists.
Swimming with whale sharks, Kawasan Falls jungle trek, and staying on NoaNoa Island were also standout adventures for me in the Philippines. And of course, who could forget the filipino smile everywhere you go!
So take a look round, and hopefully you can pick up some travel tips and get a brief glimpse into what South East Asia has to offer.

Words can’t really do justice to what really is a paradise. 30 minutes speed boat from Tay Tay. American […]
Welcome to Krabi. You will find one of the best beaches in Thailand here – Phra Nang. Waters are clear, emerald green and tranquil. The only caveat is the number long-tails boat (known as Ruea Hang Yao). They arrive in hoards, full of tourists between 9am and midday. Thankfully the beach is long enough to […]
Pehaps a little off the beaten track, a 90 minute long tail boat ride and 30 minute jeep drive and your find a little gem of a place. Golden Buddha Resort. “Eco” Friendly is the buzz word here, and it certainly is a testament to the natural environment. Monkeys, snakes, birds, butterflies, you name it […]
Cebu, is situated the country’s Central Visayas region. There is definitely a Spanish influence here, which I believe dates back to it’s 16th century colonial past. Most memorable thing from here, was the short trip to swim with Whale Sharks. It was a difficult one for me though, because on one had, I thought this was […]
