Carbon Neutral Trip
Pedal through Cambodia and Vietnam, where remarkable women lead the way. Spin through Angkor’s lush jungles, discover ancient temples, and meet the female artisans who skillfully bring the art of lotus flower spinning to life. Glide along Vietnam’s spectacular Hai Van Pass, soak in Hoi An’s riverside charm, and savour cooking secrets shared by local women shaping their communities.
Meet an incredible group of local women—including a guerrilla fighter who fought in the war in Vietnam and get shuttled around by an all-women TukTuk team.
