Biker Heaven on the Mae Hong Son Loop 125cc fuel injection motorbike was what our butts were going to fall asleep on for the next 4 days. We were embarking on our biggest motorbiking adventure yet, as we finally found a place where you could drop the bike of at a different location than the one you picked it up from. And so for 4 days we were going to be driving around a stretch of road that loops in a full circle in the North-West region of Thailand, all the wa...

Hippy Town Pai, a place of many dread locks, bright tie die and baggy (weird) clothing. A place that was described as relaxing... and relaxing it was not.

Beginning 2011 in style The capital of Laos. A place that most people described to us as 'boring'. So we were eager to accumulate our own opinion on this matter. Me and Daniel had decided Vientiane was going to be our stop off for New Years. We had previously booked 5 nights accomodation with help from Andy & Libby. So for 5 nights in Vientiane in a 4 star HOTEL, this was our treat for Christmas. 'Luxury' is the main word associated with this chapter of our ...
