Understanding Culture and Exploring Rurality in Northern Vietnam

Hanoi Taking our first flight in over a month (since Bangkok to Chiang Mai), we landed in Hanoi from Vientiane in the afternoon. Waiting for us was a taxi driver holding our name on a plaque to take us to the hotel – we’ve caught nearly countless flights in our lives but funnily enough we’ve never

New Zealand – South Island on the Kiwi Bus

Getting our geek on in San Francisco

We flew from Lima to Mexico for a stopover. On landing in Mexico we had a connecting flight with a 1 hour wait between.. we thought — the plane landed late and then there was a huge queue for security, time ticked by and the queue did not move. It was about 10 minutes until

Exploring Bolivia’s Amazon Rainforest

We left Florianopolis at 6pm after spending a really relaxing day on the beach, around 9pm however our bus stopped moving, we didn’t really pay attention as we were just listening to audio books and half

Admiring Simplicity, Ecology and water spring tales in Curitiba

On the morning of Sunday (25th) we left Sao Paulo via another long bus journey: 6 hours – and made it successfully to Curitiba. Curitiba wasn’t a city that stood out to us initially: it’s just commonly used as a quick 1 or 2 night detour instead of doing the whole hog of an 11 hour
