🌿 Don Det, Laos | 4000 Islands
After a busy few weeks, slowing down in Don Det felt like exactly the reset I needed. A small, slightly run-down island in the middle of the 4000 Islands, where there’s not a huge amount to do - which honestly became the perfect excuse to simply lay in a hammock, read, cycle aimlessly through the islands, and embrace a much slower pace of life.
This vlog also captures the long and slightly overwhelming journey from Vang Vieng down to southern Laos, alongside a kayaking day trip exploring the waterfalls and landscapes surrounding the Mekong.

Hi, I’m Lara - 25, from Cardiff, South Wales
✈️ Last year I booked a one-way ticket to Asia, and spent six months travelling solo through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam
🌿 After years of study, structure, pressure, and routine, I knew I needed to step away - to quiet the noise of everyday life, reconnect with myself, and rediscover a sense of freedom, curiosity, and adventure.
🌍 I embraced everything that comes with solo backpacking… authentic homestays, questionable night buses, sunrise viewpoints, incredible street food, new friendships, jungle treks, long conversations with strangers, and all the unforgettable moments in between.
📹 This vlog series is my way of reflecting on that journey - documenting the places I saw, the experiences that shaped me, and the parts of myself I found along the way.
☀️ Whether you’re here for travel inspiration, backpacking tips, or just to come along for the ride, I hope you enjoy this little window into my six-month adventure.
Thanks for watching 🫶🏻
