Accidentally Booking on to an Old-Peoples Trip

Today we set sail for our cruise around Halong Bay. It is so beautiful in this part of Vietnam. T and I had a bit of a hectic morning, as the taxi man dropped us off at the wrong location, so we were running round thinking we were going to miss our cruise. We spent a...

Losing All Hope

Update: We have now been here for 9 weeks and it feels like we’ve been here our entire lives. Depressing isn’t it. We haven’t had much luck with our farming career. Libby and I have been working on 2 farms for the past 3 weeks. The cyclone seriously ruined all...
My First Day as a Farmer

My First Day as a Farmer

Today was my first day as a farmer! We woke up at 5.15am as the bus to work left at 6am. There were 10 of us going to the same farm that morning, all very clueless as to what we were in for. We arrived at the farm and were greeted by the farmer. He looked down at our...
