Are You a Poshpacker?

November 14, 2014 by Rosemary

I think I am! Focusing on the market of interesting and creative hoteliers priced from $15 to less than $100 usd per person. I am not a 5* girl, never have been. I  like meeting people, engaging with the cultures of those I am visiting.  I don't like those generic hotels that could be anywhere in the world, I like character, engagement, a window on the country I am visiting. The term Poshpacker is derived from the concept of  an … [Read more...]

Vientiane, capital city of Laos

December 27, 2012 by Rosemary

We enter Laos. The medals on the uniform of the immigration officer gleamed, as he stamped our passports. Thump! Thump! Thump! A small bow from us, a slight inclination of the head, from him.We walked out of the airpot, and into the sunshine of Vientiane, the capital of Laos. It was National Day in Laos, when they were marking 37 years of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.  The streets were very quiet, shops and some restaurants were closed- … [Read more...]

Luang Prabang – lovely and langourous

December 26, 2012 by Rosemary

Langourous Luang Prabang - we love you. I stole the ‘langourous’ bit from a poet, Oliver Bandmann, who writes here, but it is such an apt adjective- especially on these ‘mid winter’ days of misty mornings and golden afternoons in Luang Prabang. A town of temples Quiet, shady streets Heightened with saffron   The golden stupas glow even brighter, the smoke from small restaurant barbecues twists up through the palms and banana plants, and … [Read more...]

Thailand Trekking in Karen Villages

November 18, 2012 by Rosemary

Thailand: trekking  through Karen villages in the mountains of Northern Thailand was wonderful, exhausting, eye-opening and horrifying. It was quite hard work physically and certainly a cultural shock. Even the deep knee bends, and  Qi Gong every morning had not really prepared us. … [Read more...]

Chiang Mai – Temples and Pitfalls

October 27, 2012 by Rosemary

The misty mountains are behind every streetscape, like the hills of home, only green. A gold flash from the famous temple of Doi Suthep  beckons us  from its high peak.  But our first few days in Chiang are spent on the flat. The mountain adventures come later. … [Read more...]

The Girls Behind Off-Track Backpacking

October 4, 2010 by Rosemary

Their story all began during the summer of 2005. While Nara was backpacking solo after almost a year of working in Dublin (Ireland), Tanya was traveling with her friend after spending a semester abroad in Torino (Italy). They write at Off-Track Backpacking a blog dedicated to travel, adventure and fun! Women Travel caught up with them and asked them more... Where and how did you meet?
