Westminster Abbey, London

It’s London baby! It’s one of those cities in which its reputation precedes it.

Top #5 Travel Tips for Poland

Destination Guides · December 2, 2013

Zapiekanka Plac Nowy Krakow Poland

Poland. It showed me what I thought I knew about world war history and turned it on its head.

Modern-day Poland is not removed from this history, in many […]

COPE Visitor Centre, Vientiane, Laos

While it used to be all about Thailand and Vietnam, Laos is becoming one of the hippest and popular places to visit in South-East Asia. And though it may not be as cheap as some of its South-East Asian cousins, it certainly has a lot to offer. Here are our top tips for visits to […]

Top #5 Travel Tips for Vietnam

Destination Guides · August 27, 2013

Sapa, Vietnam

Vietnam had been on our travel wish-list for some time, not only because it was where Hai was born but because almost every traveler we met raved about it, and we can understand why. We spent three weeks traveling from the south to the north. It’s do-able but we’d recommend a month if you have […]
