adventure biking culture funny hiking indonesia memoir myanmar nonfiction temple thailand travel travelogue volcano wpnonfic

After spending a year teaching in Thailand, I longed to travel with only my quirky self to keep me company. My journey started in Myanmar where temple cycles and village treks exposed me to the past and present of this intriguing nation. I returned to Northern Thailand for a volunteer experience and some of the most ingenious and adrenaline-pumping New Year's celebrations. Indonesia's smiling faces warmed my heart and even coaxed me out on a date or two.

Join in if you've ever wanted to experience the beauty of a volcanic sunrise, the joy of Javanese hospitality or the thrill of a five-day water festival where joining a water war is as easy as saying 'Sawatdee!' or 'Hello' for my English readers.All Rights Reserved

ECUADOR HIKING by AntoninosNatalis

Ecuador is one of the smallest South American countries, but it has a biodiversity that is second only to Brazil, the biggest country on the continent. First attracted to Ecuador by the immensely popular Galapagos Islands, we kept returning to it for its beaches and mountains, each blessed with stupendously rich fauna and flora. It's the mystic power of the mountain gods (still worshipped throughout the highlands) that keeps drawing us back year after year. We spent numerous weeks traveling along Avenida de los Volcanos visiting quaint indigenous villages, as we hiked to oxygen-starved heights to take the perfect picture of a crater lake, waterfall, or smoking volcano. The coast is no less fascinating. We spent endless golden days traveling along Ruta del Sol and Ruta del Spondylus enjoying fresh oyster cebiche and spectacular sunsets! In the small fishing ports we observed the daily ritual of bringing in the morning catch with hundreds of pelicans swarming the boats laying claim to some of it. For the fishermen, it was just another day: for us, it was an unbelievable experience. What more could one want? Well, there is also the fabulous rainforest, which takes one back to primordial times! Join me as I recount the wonderful experiences we had in this fascinating country.

A Spider in the Storm by AlbertChu6

This is my autobiographical memoirs: Born in China, I grew up in the Chinese ghetto of Saigon, a back water community of the world. This is the story of how I was educated and gradually grew to realize that there was a wide world outside, learned to love writing, found a chance to go to college in Taiwan, discovered a way to come to America, got a graduate education in journalism here, built a career, grew a family and finally enjoying my retirement while continued to learn now things . I like to share my life's story with others, especially today's young people, as a cautionary tale if not a case study on how to look at and plan their future life.

Chasing Rainbows 🤍 Singto/Non by WillowsProse

A SingtoNon ghost ship fan fiction ~ The Koh Samui Trilogy ~ Book Two ~ Ian Banks had travelled to Thailand after his best friend had called him to tell him his long time bias, actor and singer Phikhuam would be staying at his fiancés holiday resort on the tropical island of Koh Samui. Caught up in the excitement he had packed quickly only to have second thoughts on the flight, he was too old for this nonsense, he should be focusing on something tangible instead of chasing rainbows. Phikhuam had fractured his wrist during the filming of his latest drama and he needed to take some time off work, the last person he expected to see was a young man whom he had met in London many months ago then later at the wedding of Kiri Junphanatat. He was definitely interested so when he discovered that Ian was a nurse he jumped at the chance to ask for assistance but maybe he'd been mistaken when he thought that Ian liked him because he didn't seem very eager to help, on the contrary he was looking for any excuse to avoid him. My Fictional Cast ... Singto as Phikhuam Non as Ian Banks Mew as Kiri Junphanatat Gulf as Kan Junphanatat Kaownah as Lon Ryou Turbo as Andrew Boone (Andy) Boat Napat as Patrick Slater (Champ) Lee Thanat as Liam Khoombs Cooper as Tap Sittanason Poy as Chet Thinsappapong Bright as Chit Win as Paitoon Shane as Shanut (Nut) Shenyapatchol This story will contain mature language and at least one chapter containing a mature scene of a sexual nature.

Once the Sun Sets (Hetalia) by bastasidonat

When an archipelagic nation in Southeast Asia hosts the World Conference, she makes sure that every nation is comfortable and safe throughout their whole stay. Especially since it is Holy Week... and the meeting is being held in a nice building in Siquijor... When 12 nations get lost in a dark forest on the night of Black Friday (courtesy of a certain American), that's when their ride gets wrecked. Leaving them with a broken truck, a few flashlights, England's spellbook, an ancient book written in Tagalog, and some unknown creatures stalking them. Is it really more fun in the Philippines? Warning: Non-canon characters, OOC characters, Swearing, Mistakes, Cringe, etc.

EA Adventures [Countryhumans] by KittyReadingBooks

East Asian Adventures. A simple story about East Asians, China, Taiwan, Japan, North and South Korea, and Mongolia going through 5 journeys. Warning! There will be blood, gore, and moments where certain phobias or fears could be triggered. If you're sensitive to those, I recommend you don't read this book. Cover art is rightfully mine. Note: This is a transcript-style writing! And the story is historically inaccurate, don't take it too seriously.
