Description
Pai, Thailand
🌿 Exploring Pai, Thailand — visiting Mo Paeng Waterfall, hiking through the jungle to reach Mae Yen Waterfall, running through some of the most scenic landscapes in northern Thailand, stopping by the Big Buddha, and watching sunset at Pai Canyon.
An unexpected reunion with a nun I’d met just a week earlier made this stop even more memorable.

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 🫶🏻
