Our crew this issue
TimGerard Barker
Photographer
For this issue
clambered over ancient blocks and waded into ponds to shoot our cover
and cover feature.
“I never leave home without…
my newest pair of walking shoes,
which I bought earlier this year! I hate wearing shoes as my feet get really hot but these
ones (Solomon Techamphibian 3) are made of a quick-drying, breathable open mesh
with a fantastic grip on the sole. It means I no longer stop to think about getting them
dirty or wet when a shot requires it.”
Word for 2015?
“Adventure: it keeps life interesting.
I love discovering new places, trying new foods, meeting new people and experiencing
new cultures. It was on one of my adventures that I learned to be a travel photographer
and it’s the reason why I decided to live in Vietnam as an expat.”
Michael Aquino
Writer
For this issue
gives us an in-depth report on what’s new (and very old) in Cambodia’s
Banteay Chhmar.
Word for 2015?
“‘Family’. I’m hoping 2015 becomes the year I get to
travel around South-East Asia with my family; my daughter is at just the right age to have
her mind blown by the region’s different experiences.”
Louie-An Pilapil
Writer
For this issue
tells us more about superfood
malunggay
.
“I never leave home without...
my red scarf.”
Word for 2015?
“Forward, because that’s where I intend to go.”
Nayna Katigbak
Writer
For this issue
introduces us to the beautiful landscapes of Samar.
Favorite travel trinket?
“A little key fob called Felice by my friend Jof. We both lived in
Boracay for awhile and this reminds me of the sun and sand wherever I go. Also, Felice
is the perfect model for when my partner and I feel a little camera shy on a trip.”
Word
for 2015?
“‘Go.’ The past year has been the most terrifying and rewarding year ever; I’m
learning it’s better to hurtle through things and find my own adventure. Kurt Vonnegut
was spot-on when he wrote, ‘Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God’.”
Be it a lazy ferry trip to Chinatown, hiking in the boondocks up north or whatever
awesome flight we score next there will be no hesitation. I’m just going to go!”

the fortune teller in Thimpu,
Bhutan.”

Word for the year?
“‘Change.’
It’s time for some major

and maybe location. We’ll see
where 2015 leads.”
