I first went to the Pride last year because I was curious and just got my brand new camera, which I was dying to try out. I didn’t expect that it would be one of the most colourful and joyful things I would experience. I expected banners and people shouting out slogans, but I didn’t […]
Luang Prabang is one of the most beautiful places in South East Asia. Surrounded by mountains and two rivers, Mekong and Tam Khan, it has spectacular views and lots of trekking routes to explore.The whole town is the UNESCO Heritage site, which itself is an extraordinary fact.To me the houses of Luang Prabang were the […]
When I got to the capital of Laos it seemed like the Asia suddenly stood still. There were almost no people on the streets, the car drivers didn’t horn at each other…it was quiet. After Myanmar I found this new peace a little unnerving, but started appreciating it as soon as I checked into my hostel. First […]

Bagan is a must-visit place in the whole of Burma. If you visit the country, no matter how long you stay for, I guarantee that you will come here. The area still doesn’t have that touristy vibe about it and you can feel like the new Christopher Columbus, discovering new lands. Bagan, once the capital […]

Of course, I could mention the temples of Bagan, but I will write a separate post just about that. This time, I would like to share with you two places, which made a great impression on me […]
