I have recently returned from a slightly modified version of Tucan Travel’s Ballestas 1 tour. As I work in the London head office recruiting our tour leaders and drivers, during my trip I am required to also spend a bit of time in our Cuzco office struggling with their Spanish-speaking computers. This means that I don’t conclude […]

Northern Vietnam Northern Vietnamese cooking is the least bold in flavor compared to […]
The Okavango Delta in Botswana is one of my most favourite places that we visit in Southern Africa. The day before we depart we are all packing and re-packing to condense our luggage, kitchen and food down to a manageable amount, so it is a bit hectic. However once we depart camp, the real fun […]
