🌿 Vang Vieng, Laos
Spending two weeks volunteering in Nathom Village, Vang Vieng with the Sae Lao Project, a grassroots community initiative focused on improving English education opportunities for local Lao children and creating meaningful cultural exchange between volunteers and the village.
My days were spent helping with English lessons, classroom activities, games, and supporting the children’s confidence in learning through fun, interactive sessions. It was a chance to contribute in a small but rewarding way while also learning so much from the local community myself.
Surrounded by dramatic limestone mountains, turquoise lagoons, rice fields, and countless viewpoint hikes, it was an incredibly beautiful place to be based for two weeks!

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 🫶🏻
