Hi, I'm Jason Lee, Lonely Planet Author and full time traveler who currently resides in Bali, Indonesia. Thanks for visiting my website!
I've been traveling full time for the past 5 years, specializing in South East Asia and Eastern Europe. I've worked with Lonely Planet on their Guides to Romania & Bulgaria, as well as the Lonely Planet Guide to Indonesia. As a Travel Writer, I enjoy returning to locations I write about, so that my content is constantly up to date and fresh.
I created this life of full time travel out of my passion for exploring other places and cultures. My goal with this blog is to bring you all of the tips, hints and ideas that I can, so that you can enjoy all the wonderful places that I do!
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to post them at the bottom of my articles, and I will be sure to respond.
If you see me out on the road, make sure to say Hi! I love meeting people, and am always happy to chat.
Chiang Mai is a shopper’s dream! It is also absolute heaven if you are a foodie. This is true at any time of the day, but it is the night time that Chiang Mai really turns it on. The night markets that spring up around town are incredible, and they seem to be everywhere! Here, I have narrowed down a list of my favorites, to what I believe to be the best night...
Any trip to Chiang Mai, in Northern Thailand, is not complete without a side trip to Chiang Rai. Located to the North East of Chiang Mai, it holds its own fascination for visitors to this part of the country. Many will decide to spend a couple of days there, but for others with less time to spare, a simple day trip has to suffice. I myself was in this situation on my...
When I first flew into Kuala Lumpur, I was non plussed. It was late at night, and the entire airport was closed. Even so, the trains were running, and within an hour I was in the City Centre hailing a cab. The city was quiet, and not much was moving at around midnight, something that seemed rather strange for such a large city. What I didn’t realize, was that...
Since the last time we caught up in The Journey #11, I have been on the move quite a bit. It seems so long ago that I was in Australia now, as I have been to 3 countries since then. All in a very short period of time! It has been interesting though, and today I will catch you up on what for me has been a whirlwind tour of Temples, Towers and Tuk Tuk Scams! I can...
There are several tourist scams in Thailand, much as there are in any country. I have lived in Indonesia for years, and still see them happening.

If you click on those links and make a purchase...
Kuala Lumpur is an amazing city. It is not a place that was high on my bucket list, but now that I have been there, it has left me wanting more. I am actually moving my schedule around as I write this article, just so that I have an excuse to return. Such is the draw of this amazing city. There are just so many awesome things to do in Kuala Lumpur, that you will...
KL Tower is one of the most impressive sights in Kuala Lumpur, and a must visit attraction for any visitors to the city. Standing at 421 meters, the tower can be seen from all over the city. While the nearby Petronas Twin Towers are a natural drawcard for visitors and locals alike, KL Tower, in my opinion, has even better panoramic views! © alex cheong via Canva.com...
A visit to Kuala Lumpur is not complete without visiting the famous Petronas Twin Towers. In fact, I would almost say a visit to MALAYSIA is not complete without visiting them. They are an icon of not just the city, but the entire country, and were designed to be exactly that. So if you are like me, the towers will be on the top of your list of things to do when you...
The Indonesian island of Bali is the holiday destination of choice for millions of people from all over the world. It’s not hard to see why, either, when it boasts world class surf, amazing scenery, beaches to die for, and people that are among the friendliest in the world.
