Traveling is hard. Very hard.

Sunset at treehouse three. I didn't actually stay there, but it did have the best sunset view. I don't know if it's done yet but they were in the process of building a fourth and fifth treehouses as well.

The view from treehouse three, which is mainly a hike, though there's a zip line to get into the actual treehouse. Hiking was a bit nerve wracking since there are a number of tigers in the area.

The zip lines are very very high in some spots. Not for those afraid of heights

This thing as it turns out is some sort of giant squirrel. The image was taken by holding my camera up to a spotting scope, which worked surprisingly well. You can read more about the Gibbon Experience in an entry on luxagraf entitled I Used to Fly Like Peter Pan.

eye in a treeLuxagraf is an experiment in travel writing — highly subjective, non-linear and a bit more random than most travel writing, but hopefully you'll like that. If not, there are plenty of glossy magazines out there to satisfy you.

I didn't start out to be a travel writer, I was writing and happened to do some traveling. The results are what you see here. Along the way I've discovered that travel writing is one of the only honest forms of non-fiction. That's what luxagraf is about — the unvarnished, sometimes ugly, truth of travel, told by someone just like you.

For smaller, snack-size stuff, not necessarily about travel, head over to the new snacks section where I record my travels around the web.
