Fun day out at @bigbanyanwines - a beautiful winery on the outskirts of B'lore 🍇🍷. Pretty awesome way to spend a Saturday or Sunday imo!
Snippets of the Hmong people of Laos enjoying a day out during their new year celebrations
The US tends to leave a trail of tragedy and destruction in other nations, and Laos was/is no different.
A unique spot near the tip of Northern Thailand - doesn't look like much, but once you walk to the edge, you can see Myanmar on one side, and Laos on the other! In fact, you're even allowed to take a short boat ride to a small island in Laos (without a visa) 🚣‍♀️
Time to start sharing more about the some amazing experiences I had in Thailand and Laos over the last 1.5 months now that I'm back! 💛

Happy new year everyone! 🥂
What can you do with a few sticks of bamboo, some rope and an expert navigator? Take me on a bumpy ride down the river, of course! 😁😉
Life is truly wonderful at this resort in northern thailand where elephants wake you up in the morning for some breakfast and polite banter 😊
