JW supplied the LPFF road show with a private van and driver to transport the project’s representatives to bring four films onto the big screen for the people of Oudomxai, a province in northern Laos.

This year Hotel de la Paix in Cambodia created a piece of art for Christmas. It took them over 10 hours, […] View full post » Dear Journeys Within Guests, Since December is the month of giving I decided to ask for a favor this month, then I realized that I hate asking for favors without giving something back, so here’s my idea… Condé Nast Traveler’s December issue once again features me as a regional specialist (just to be clear, I know it features me, but I would be nothing without my amazing team, so I see and know that this […] View full post » By: Michelle Nguyen – Vietnam Country Director My children are wonderful little people who are on their journey developing in to great, well balanced individuals and I am very proud of them.

Well Andrea just announced some very exciting news – her hard work has paid off and the Giant Manta Ray is being protected as a migratory species! As you can […] View full post » I still remember my first Thanksgiving in Asia, before we had moved to Cambodia or started Journeys Within and JWOC. At the time we were traveling in Borneo and I sent an email back home to my friends and family to wish them a happy Thanksgiving and I just went back through my emails and found it! Here is an excerpt: “We just had noodles at a local stall restaurant for dinner, it didn’t feel […] View full post » By: Andrea Ross I have been working on researching some good lunch options for our guests to give them a break from touring and to offer restaurants and experiences that are more than just a meal. Last week Kate and I had the pleasure of going to lunch at the Paul Dubrule Hospitality School. This is a not-for-profit vocational school that teaches young adults hospitality and cooking. We actually were there about a week into […] View full post » By Narla Phay – Cambodia country director I was very excited to hear Andrea was giving me the opportunity to travel to Singapore.
