A Journey in Southeast Asia Through Photographs

by Regin Reyno

One my favorite places to backpack is Southeast Asia. The reasons? Inexpensive, warm climate, relaxing beaches, wonderful scenery, lush jungles, tropical waterfalls, lofty mountains, delicious food, friendly and beautiful locals, and a wonderful backpacker community.

One of my travel goals is to backpack in all the 11 countries of Southeast Asia and photograph priceless moments and sights to share to the world.

As of the moment, I've been to 8/11 countries of Southeast Asia. I've witnessed great scenery, had wonderful experiences, tasted mouth-watering cuisines, and met a lot of people-both locals and travelers-on the road.

Here are some photos of Southeast Asia. I'm hoping to add Singapore (Yes, I haven't been to Singapore), East Timor, and Brunei in the near future.

Let's continue trampling the Banana Pancake Trail!

Almost every photographer's dream is for their works to be published, whether on a book, magazine, or newspaper. As an amateur travel photographer, I am not exempted, I also want my works to be published, especially on a travel magazine.

Every time I take flights, I always spend time reading in-flight magazines. I am always amazed at those wonderful, touristy pictures that were captured by photographers. And I always wished I can take those kinds of photos too and be published in a travel magazine
