A Letter To Our Cambodia And Vietnam Travellers

Heading out on the road can be a downright daunting experience, full of the unexpected and when you are surrounded with people who share the same vision as you, the journey is amazing. We each see & feel such spectacular things and we’re all in a constant state of learning.

The friends you have met on this trip and the boundless opportunities that you have given to the tour-leaders to showcase their countries, the ladies you supported in opening their cooking classes; the new games you taught the children that brought them so much joy, which was displayed through their clapping & their smiles; the love towards Yeay who appreciated being given the chance to share her story for the first time; the love you showered the home-host you stayed with and the appreciation you showed by enjoying the yummy dishes they made for you; the selfless funds you contributed to building the toilet and the fun you had painting it; the water filters you delivered to those who do not have access to clean water; the commencement of the crafting classes that was kick started for the women in order for them to be able to afford to bring food to the table; the pure joy shared with them; the smiles and laughter shared with the children; the kites you flew with them; the skipping of the ropes (even though most of us failed miserably) – these are the special memories you are taking with you and the footprint you are leaving behind.

I hope this journey has spoken to you & touched your heart like never before.

The bond of friendship you have made on this trip is truly special and one that will unite us always. We have burst into one another’s lives with spectacular ideas and all of the excitement in the world.

Thank you for joining me on this journey and for making this little baby of mine even more unforgettable. We are all individually talented and collectively powerful.

As you bid farewell to this trip and ride through the streets of lanterns this evening, think of the beautiful smiles you have encountered throughout the journey and know that you are leaving Cambodia and Vietnam better to when you first got here.

5 Best Things To Do In Cairns And Port Douglas

Tropical North Queensland is one of the most naturally beautiful parts of Australia. With a strong cultural heritage, both rainforest and barrier reef and the friendly, laid-back tropical vibe we love taking our travellers on our 5-day tour to Cairns and Port Douglas. Here are a few of our favourite places to visit in North Queensland. 1. The Great Barrier Reef Without a doubt, the top draw to the region is the chance to access The Great Barrier Reef, the largest living thing that can be found on earth. Visiting responsibly should be your top priority as continuous damage and industry is putting a strain on the reef and tragically damaging many parts of it beyond repair. The clear waters, impressive marine-life and tiny sand-bars that can be found throughout the reef are simply breathtaking. For our tours, we opt to depart from Port Douglas where an array of boats offer a whole host of activities from snorkelling and scuba-diving to helicopter tours. 2. Mossman Gorge & The Daintree

5 Best Things To Do In Nadi And Denarau Island

When it comes to tropical beach vacations with azure-waters, soft white sands and palm trays swaying slowly in the ocean-breeze, you can’t go wrong with a Fiji holiday. This archipelago of Islands is ready and waiting for adventure seekers or relaxation hunters. The main airport, Nadi, also provides the perfect base for sampling the best of Fijian activities and our five-day Fiji tour is the perfect introduction to this tropical getaway. Here are a few of our favourite things to do in the sun. 1. Private Islands With lapping waves and marine-life to be discovered, these small specs of sand in the ocean make for the perfect playground. While there are an abundance of islands you can stay on, we prefer to take day-trips to empty, accommodation free islands to really feel that care-free lifestyle. There are a whole host of tropical day-trips from Nadi and Denarau Island and after road-testing them all we put our favourite into our tour. With sea-kayaking, an open bar, a massage tent and w
