Life in movement along the Trans-Siberian railway

Travelling along the mythic Trans-Siberian railway was a memorable - although sometimes tough - experience. But three and a half days on a Russian train, travelling for thousands of miles, right in the beginning of an around the world trip, might well not be the best choice. With a Trans-Siberian ticket in my hand I jumped on a train for that long… and that made me think too much. travel article »

Koh Tao, Thailand

If you enjoy white sand beaches with crystal clear water; if you like relaxed atmospheres; if you're easy going and prefer a simple hut to a luxury resort; if you fancy being with other travellers for a while; if you like beach bars; if you're looking for exciting night life but not as extremely wild as other islands of southern Thailand; and if you want to learn how to dive at the same time, you should give Koh Tao a try. travel guide »

Ethnic minorities of Sapa, Vietnam

In the mountains of northeast Vietnam travellers can find small villages populated by ethnic minorities like the H'mong people, the Dao people and the Zai community, amongst others. It's a wonderful region but it is also to a land where tourism is transforming some of these genuinely friendly Vietnamese hill tribes into very persuasive street vendors. Or should I say beggars? Welcome to tourism contradictions. travel photos »
