14 Reasons you should travel with me in 2014
February 5, 2014
Myanmar is a fascinating country. For years it’s been off the beaten tourist track. Now it’s opened up and welcoming travelers . In Myanmar you’ll find it’s the warmth and curiosity of the people that will leave you with the best memories.
But there’s plenty to see, too. My short trip led me only to Yangon and Bagan, but it gave me a good taste of the country.

oh wow, it all just looks so healthy and organic! loving the last two pics. have followed you on instagram
Great stuff. Made me want to visit Myanmar someday.
I remember that ABC beer being about the most refreshing thing in the world after wandering around in the heat at Bagan all day. This is nice, I’d really like to get back there at some point to explore some of the less traveled areas they’re starting to open up to tourists these days.
Great photos – I feel like you really capture the spirit of Myanmar. Would love to visit someday.
Myanmar is awesome! Went there in 2011 and loved it. The Top Gear guys just did a special about the country. Very comical 🙂
