Thailand
Welcome to Thailand! Here we'll start our insane 50-day adventure in Southeast Asia! We'll stay in a variety of stylish accommodations with gorgeous sun terraces, pools, jaw-dropping views and most importantly, right in the centre of all the fun!
Cambodia
Cambodia is calling and we're seeing it in the very best way possible. Across our Cambodian adventure, we stay in a range of accommodations. From local hotels to private beach hostels. Tru-ly immerse yourself in the magic of one of South East Asia's backpacking hotspots with all hotels featuring WIFI and ensuites. Upon reaching Koh Rong, we live our best island life of hammocks and beaches. (A sim card would be best for Koh Rong as the island is small, wifi is limited)
Vietnam
Vietnam is a backpacker's paradise so it's only right we see the coast in style. From Hoi Chi Minh to Hoi An we will be staying in a range of accommodations from bungalows in stunning Ninh Binh to overnight cruises in the world-famous Halong Bay. All hotels are ensuite and have WIFI facilities!
