What an honour

We are excited to work with amazing partners that care as much as we do about having a positive impact on the people and places we visit.

Guatemala Giant Kite Festival

On the Day of the Dead, the people of Sumpango, fly giant kites to honour the dead. The kites traditionally can take up to 40 days to build and are up to 30 meters high! This tradition dates back 3000 years and still today is seen as a way of communicating with the beyond. exploreworldwide.com.au/GM

Mark Steadman, our wonderful ex-tour leader in Laos who went on to set up Lone Buffalo (a charity we’ve been proud to support over the last 10 years), has been awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List for services to youth development in Laos. Congratulations to Mark – this is so well-deserved and a real good news story to start the year.
