Our sense of time has been twisted on the road. It has been 200 days since we started our trip around Asia, but it feels like we were saying good-bye to our families and friends only yesterday. Time flies at light speed while travelling, but life is so intense you have a feeling that yearsContinue reading “200 Days on the Road”

10 Things You Should Never Take for Granted…
… when in Bangkok:
Piece of Paradise
It took us a while to find our piece of paradise in Thailand. With the images of Thailand white-sand beaches in all travel magazines it is not easy to find a tourist-free island which matches the idyllic beauty of postcards you have in mind. A good few hours of Internet research and our friends’ recommendationContinue reading “Piece of Paradise”
Finding Nemo
Koh Tao, a small island in the Gulf of Thailand, is the cheapest place in the world to learn diving.

‘M’ for ‘Minorities’
It seems that most of Magda’s favorite photography subjects during our trip start with letter ‘M’. Among them you can find ‘M&Ms’, ‘Monks’ and ‘Marcin’ (I hope). Usually we agree that these things are worth taking a photo of. But there is one M-word that awakes in us completely opposite feelings. It makes me feelContinue reading “‘M’ for ‘Minorities’”
Golden Temples of Chiang Mai
Temples in Chiang Mai City:
Eco-By-No-Means-Logical
When you hear Laos, the first image most people have in mind is the jungle. This country is said to have maintained it the most pristine in the whole Southeast Asia. This is why we went up these extra few miles to northern Laos, where the hill-tribe treks were supposed to be more eco-friendly andContinue reading “Eco-By-No-Means-Logical”
