Feni has a distinctive flavour (smell) for sure with cashew being slightly less likely to mug your nostrils than coconut. But, unless you’re a feni aficionado, the reality is that a good whiff of either before a gurning competition and you’re coming home with the gold medal. […]
Laos is a relative newcomer on the international holiday destinations scene as it is landlocked and surrounded by mountains, effectively isolated from the wider world. […]
The umbrella term responsible tourism can cover many things and there are a fair few critics of some ‘helpful’ projects that fall under it. […]
It would take something incredible to distract from a plane load of passengers that were behaving as though this were a bus journey from one village to another. People milled about completely ignoring ‘fasten your seat belt’ signs… […]
From the moment the cloud cleared to expose a glistening, green, palm tree covered landscape the excitement rose to the point where I almost laughed hysterically out loud… […]
We realised all too late that rather than seeing as amigos travelling the same path, we were a threat to his particular patch of Langkawi forest. Just as the penny slowly dropped, the howling mad macaque turned, barked and charged. […]

The Great Wall of China is the only man made object you can see from the moon…oh yeah? Do you know when this idea was first circulated? Around 1938. […]
Maybe, if we hadn’t had that second aperitif of Mekhong Whiskey before we began, we might not have forgotten that two satay chicken kebabs were on the grill. […]
There hadn’t been a drop of rain on the plains for three months, so it was serious bad luck that fifteen minutes into our Sri Lanka safari we were up to our knees in water and battling against driving monsoon rains […]
It’s an incredible experience to see these amazing creatures up close, to get to hold one in your hands and to release them into the sea in the hopes that maybe, just maybe your turtle will make it all the way to adulthood. […]
