HISTORY

Every country has a history from which there is no escaping.
Some appear to be forever shackled by their past. But delve deeper and you will often find inspiring people that changed the course of history.

It teaches us valuable lessons about human nature. Stories of rich history, culture and heritage evoke images of days gone by. History allows us to understand the past, helping us to better understand the present.

Walking in the footsteps of the Fathers of philosophy in Greece or discovering the charm, warmth and hospitable people of Cambodia.

For some countries, it’s not the political or economic impact they have on the rest of the world. Instead, it’s the strength of their culture. The long-held traditions that bind them together, that give true meaning to their lives.

These are the stories that interest us and add a different layer to our travels.

Travel isn’t always glamorous or comfortable.

Exploring different countries, their people, culture, history and beliefs, can often be humbling. But we have felt an inherent sense of belonging that defies race and culture, through our travels.

In Cambodia we learnt the devastation of genocide and the impact on locals, struggling to rebuild their lives. In Thailand we learnt the incredible story of a local woman, who has single-handedly tackled elephant abuse in the logging and tourism industry.

We have witnessed many scenes which have made us shed a tear.

For the injustice of the world. The hardship that some people have to endure on a daily basis, and the sheer brutality inflicted on ones fellow human beings. These things have changed us as people. They have broadened our awareness of how we live our lives and the decisions we make. And they have made us appreciate how incredibly lucky we are.
