Laos: On and Off Leash is a travel story about two long-time wanderers navigating a changing travel rhythm. From the gilded calm of Luang Prabang to the tribal highlands of northern Laos, we swapped spontaneity for slow design-led lodges, trusted guides, and one inevitable village homestay (because old instincts die hard).
