Weekly Travel Photo – Confusing Gestures In Laos

This lady sitting in her bamboo hut in Laos waved to us to come closer. The way they wave in Laos is the complete opposite from in Europe, so at first we thought she was waving for us to go away, which was confusing because she had the biggest smile in her face. It turned out [...]

Laos Explained… Our Honest Opinion

We spent about a month in Laos, traveling from the northern most part of the country in Luang Nam Tha all the way down to the 4000 islands in the south. Just like the roads in Laos, our trip was an emotional roller coaster of ups and downs, but even though we have had a lot of [...]

A Mini Guide To Laos: Pakse & Bolaven Plateau

(VIDEO) Laos – As We Travel Show – Ep.3

Laos was a crazy few weeks – we explored some amazing ethnic villages up in Luang Nam Tha – held on for dear life during over 30 hours of crazy bus trips up and down the steep mountains in northern Laos … BUT worst of all was the fact that we lost over 400 gig and 2 months [...]
