Project SAMA – A Brighter Future for Girls and Boys
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 20 April 2012
Growing up, I was one of those little girls who loved going to school. I never faked sick, and I actually looked forward to everything from history class to science lab. I just loved learning. As I've grown older, I've come to realize just how lucky I am to have gotten the education that I did.

A Little Photoessay…Stories, Streets and History of Luang Prabang, Laos
Blog: A Little Adrift - A RTW Travelogue - 4 April 2012
The pace of life in Luang Prabang, Laos is so very charming. Charming is the only one-word description I can come up with for this low-slung city with wide streets (unnatural for much of Southeast Asia), French inspired post-colonial architecture, monks clad in sunny saffron robes, and a humming buzz of relaxed tourism. I wrote earlier about the changes three years and more tourism brought upon this sweet, sleepy country set between Vietnam and Thailand, but what cannot change in the intervening years between my visits, is the history. Laos was ...

1. Borobudur / Prambanan, Indonesia Off the main tourist backpacking route of Southeast Asia are a set of temples on the island of Java, Indonesia, near Yogyakarta that are worth a visit.

Travel Inspiration – Cycling through the Countryside in Vang Vieng, Laos
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 2 February 2012
Vang Vieng in Laos is one of those places that you hear mixed reviews about. Some people have the time of their lives while others can't wait to get out of there. The general apprehension is that if you're a twenty year old backpacker wanting to get drunk and go tubing down a river, you'll love it. If you fit into any other category, you'll hate the place. I wanted to find out for myself.
