Here are some of the highlights from our time in Laos where we got to hang out in one of our favourite towns in Southeast Asia – the beautiful Luang Prabang. Here we met with our fantastic guides, some old, some new, and together we spent the day learning how to cultivate rice by trying out our new and exciting Living Land Tour — Rice Cultivation and Handicrafts. Our day finished up with a delicious team picnic lunch at the famous Kuang Si Falls.
