For us, nothing sums up South East Asia better than Laos! Unfortunately it is often skipped on people's itineraries when visiting this part of the world, but we hope that we can convince you that this place is an absolute must-see!

Are you visiting Luang Prabang soon? Or maybe you're not sure about visiting it at all? Let us convince you! It's one of our favourite towns! See our quick guide to learn what to do, eat and visit in Luang Prabang, and don't forget to check our 60 second Luang Prabang City Video Guide to get inspired!

Many people ask us 'how do we do that?', how do we organise ourselves and what do we live for? The answer is quite complex and definitely not simple, but we decided to try and answer these questions nonetheless at the same time trying to inspire you with our tips about long-term budget travel through Asia.

The last part of our journey through Laos and its land of 4000 Islands was a perfect way to relax after all the long bus rides. Anyone who's looking to unplug for a bit should head to exactly that spot!

We can't believe it's been 6 months on the road already... We decided to gather our favourite encounters and share them with you - we hope it will inspire you to get out there and see the world for yourself!

We will never forget this bus ride from Paksan to Pakse and the magic waterfall...read on to learn why! 

We went to the jungle to hang out with the beautiful elephants from Mandalao - a conservation centre, which cares about its animals and is against riding or using force to control them. See our short film from that wonderful adventure.

It didn't seem that many travellers stopped by in the Lao city of Paksan. We did and even though we spent there only one night, we got to listen to a heartbreaking story...

Have you heard of Plain of Jars? Do you know what UXO is? Check out our story about one of the worst bus rides we've had, how we got from Luang Prabang to Phonsavan, and what happened when we got there...
