Travel Digest

#1 The Kaweah Peaks Loop, Sierra Nevada Mountains, USA

First, @derekrichardson takes us on another one of his epic hikes. This time, he's on a 13-day bagging adventure in the remote Kaweah Range of the High Sierra Mountains in California, USA. There is a lot of walking involved, which results in one stunning landscape photo after the next. Don't be fooled though; this journey is not for beginners. He and his friend come face to face with real danger as they take a wrong turn while rock climbing. Thankfully, everything turned out ok and he lives to hike—and blog—another day.

#2 Bourbon Street, New Orleans, USA

Next, we head south to Bourbon Street in the heart of New Orleans, USA with @crimsonclad. Over two nights, she quietly weaves through the vibrant life around her, observing the crowds and capturing it in a way that only she can. The sounds, the smells, the sights. She describes them all. And like anywhere where humans congregate, the combination of these senses can be alluring, disgusting, enthralling, thought-provoking, or joyous depending on the receiver.

#3 Talat Noi, Bangkok, Thailand

Finally, @waybeyondpadthai explores Talat Noi, the Thai-Chinese part of Bangkok, Thailand. She starts off enjoying some local food before exploring the area, where we get to see the traditional Chinese influence on the local architecture. A Chinese temple is open to the public and worth visiting, if for no other reason than viewing the beautiful art that's housed there. Heading to river provides opportunities to grab a drink and enjoy the views while reflecting on this unique part of the city.
