Sabah is one of the 13 member states of Malaysia, and is its
easternmost state. It is located on the northern portion of the island
of Borneo.
It's still very wild which is the reason for my visit (along with the great food).
Malaysia is the country of my birth.
Leave those synths at home and return to nature.
This is a Sabah Longhouse. It's a great way to experience the traditional Malaysian Borneo rainforest lifestyle.
Longhouses represent some of the earliest form of permanent structure in many cultures. Types include the Neolithic long house of Europe, the stone Medieval Dartmoor longhouse which also housed livestock.
This is a Rungus longhouse, where each family have their own separate quarters off a common hall.
The start of our hike through the jungle in Borneo. Cool bridge. This place was once the domain of the Iban tribes who once practiced head hunting.

Machu Picchu - Peru
15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres above sea level. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province.
Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472).
It was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham.

Masada - Israel
Cable car to the summit of Masada.
View from the summit. The small square partly covered by the cables are the remains of the Roman camp.
Its incredible to still be able to see the remains of the Roman encampment after nearly 2000 years.
This is the ramp built by the Romans. It was used to take Masada.
