I can't say I've been a huge country fan throughout the years but being in Nashville the last few days has changed my listening ears to love the sound of country. Absolutely an honor to witness some great artists tonight at the Grand Ole Opry, a weekly music stage concert founded in 1925 as a one hour radio show (the longest running radio broadcast in US history). . . . #grandoleopry #nashville #exploreconnectcreate #igdaily #tn #igtravel #ignashville #instagrammers #purewander #countrymusic #livemusic #nomad

In the midst of Hong Kong's chaos & news, my second home, Cambodia is also battling their own sense of identity. In the last few years, Hun Sen has worked closely with China to improve the economy & infrastructure of Cambodia. For better or worse, one of which was to sell 90% of land in an old popular beach town #sihanoukville to China's investors (building a total of 88 casinos that has now replaced the calm, beautiful beaches) . This has led to an an increase in construction, crime, environmental disorder, rent & gap between the rich and the poor. A lax immigration policy allowing Chinese to live and work in Cambodia has created tension between the nationalities. Rent use to be $30/month has now increased to $150/month causing locals to leave their home without any notice with no place to go. . . I'm not here to say whether this is right or wrong. As I've mentioned before, a country's development certainly comes at a cost. However, Im here to ponder... When will we start looking at development not only through the lens of economics but keeping in mind environment and cultural factors? . . . #thoughts #cambodia #sihanoukville #development #urbangrowth #policydevelopment #igdaily #travel #instagrammers #exploreconnectcreate #nomad #purewander

First time trying this epic barbell complex out from @juannit_247. Simple 5 main movements: RDL, Squat, Press, Row and Lunge - will get you heart rate up & muscles feeling pumped within minutes! My endorphins were running & I left the work out feeling like I could conquer the world. . . Swipe through to see the routine with a heavy loaded finisher. (Not photographed: overhead press) . . . #onnit #juanbarbell #movatiathletic #personaltrainer #igfit #instagrammers #exploreconnectcreate #motivate #inspire #barbellworkout #🍑
