After a much needed sleep in, I wake up to a beautiful Siem Reap morning. I head down to the hotel restaurant for some breakfast and slowly start to plan out my day. I plan to take it easier today given how hectic the past few days have been. There are a spots in Siem Reap I plan to visit today but not a strict schedule to adhere to. After breakfast, I had back to my room and relax a little...

2023 seemingly feels like a bigger travel year than others in the past. While I didn't go on as many trips, the ones I did go on felt pretty grand and I'm not upset by it!

Even with a pause in travel in order to...
