Volunteer Abroad For Less

February 20, 2018 by Caroline CLeave a Comment

Volunteer Abroad For Less

Increasingly people want to escape the rat race and spend some time helping others from South America to the South China Sea. However, there is a catch, unless you have a couple of years spare to make a serious commitment with the US Peace Corps, who pay for everything, volunteering abroad isn't cheap. Typical program fees start upwards from $600 to an eye-watering $3600 which exclude flights, visas, and personal spending. We've found four … [Read more...]

The Phenomenal Fortitude of Cambodia’s Emerging Capital

June 14, 2017 by Jarard Paige2 Comments

The Phenomenal Fortitude of Cambodia’s Emerging Capital

Phnom Penh, Cambodia Gray and gritty...these are the two words that rise to the surface when I reflect on our brief 4 days in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Pen. Gray in the truest sense of the word and color, in that it’s place that is in transition – moving from a dark and clouded past to perhaps a bright and emerging future. However, where the city lies on the gray scale spectrum is open to one’s perception. Some may see it as a place that is … [Read more...]

Discover the Mekong – a different way to travel Thailand

Discover the Mekong – a different way to travel Thailand

Exploring a country by river offers an entirely new perspective to traveling. When the country in question is Thailand, and the river the Mekong, it makes for an unrivalled way to discover one of southeast Asia's prize gems. Grab your paddle, and lets river cruise. Southeast Asia is far more than the beaches and lagoons you see in holiday brochures. Head inland, and you'll see a network of waterways linking communities, and making for some … [Read more...]

Everything is impossible, until it happens

Everything is impossible, until it happens

In late 2013, I decided to ride a bicycle through Africa in an attempt to turn my life around. My parents had passed away back home in Ireland but, to tell the truth, it was not their memory that had dislodged my equilibrium, it was me indulging in self-destruction. It all seemed so impossible on the airplane as I sat reading a beginner’s manual about how to repair punctures, but after a year spent riding through deserts, mountains, remote … [Read more...]

Little Known Adventures in Cambodia Other Than Lara Croft’s Angkor Wat

What is Food like in a Thai Village?

What is Food like in a Thai Village?

Our property is located next to a tiny village about 2.5 hours east of Bangkok. In recent years there have been plenty of changes here. We now have running water, Internet access and most of the wooden homes in the village have been taken down and many of the villagers have moved nearby into western style buildings (especially as the nearby industrial park continues to experience rapid growth and starts to further exert its influence over this … [Read more...]

How Todays Hipster Makers Travel

How Todays Hipster Makers Travel

The hipster maker culture The maker culture, part tech, part traditional, has been taking the world by storm, at least the hipster spaces. Now you can regularly find $90 courses teaching you wood-working, brass crafting or something similar along those lines. Its cool, definitely, but I always feel a little underwhelmed after participating in these kind of overpriced workshops. You make something really really simple (in the interests of … [Read more...]
