Please tell us about your travels to Far East Asia. What was your favourite place to visit there?

My trip to Southeast Asia was a very hectic and strenuous trip. Covering Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia in less than a month was one of the craziest experiences I’ve ever had. I remember having to cancel my bus ride into Singapore the night before and take a plane there because they were going to use a complicated baggage scanner that would ruin my film when I went through immigration at the bus station. It was a lot for an 18 year old who was used to photographing trees in state parks. Regardless, I would have done it again in a heartbeat. I think my favorite place to visit was Malaysia because I had more opportunities to explore the mountains and the nature that encompasses Malaysia, whereas I was mostly stuck in the city in Thailand and Singapore.
