The journey to the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai is to explore boundless golden terraced rice fields, resembling a staircase to the sky, in Mu Cang Chai district which used to be an opium poppy hub. The yellow steps to the sky, and the hospitable ethnic people, who have flattened hills to grow rice and construct irrigation systems on the mountain tops, are unforgettable images.

There's more to travel than seeing a city from the back of a bus, or grabbing some franchised fast food. It's about exploring and experiencing all that a destination has to offer. Throw away your map and get lost in a strange city. Find a restaurant filled with locals and savour a meal you can't pronounce. It's not about where you travel, it's about how you travel.

We wanted somewhere fairly relaxed at the start of our 3 month trip to unwind after the hectic few weeks we had in the UK prior to our departure.

There is nothing better than spending a lazy Sunday afternoon indulging in food and beer with friend; especially, when someone else is doing the cooking. Basking in the shade of a thatched hut while watching the sunlight dance on the Mekong River can prove to be the key ingredients for a perfect end to the week.

Laura McKay reveals that Kep is more than a crab-eating launch pad to Rabbit Island.

Famous for its seafood, pepper, countryside and garden of islands, Kep has continually proven itself to be a popular tourist destination for everyone from King Sihanouk to the average city dweller looking to bathe on the beach. For those staying more than one night, Kep has a lot more to offer than a trip to Rabbit Island and a place to get your seafood on.

Compared with its high profile neighbors, wartorn Vietnam and the idyllic paradise of Thailand, Cambodia tends to fly under the radar. But that does not mean this fascinating country has any less to offer.

After three decades of war, Cambodia is now at peace and attracting more and more tourists with the promise of Indiana Jones- or Tomb Raider-type adventures. Undoubtedly Cambodia is a beautiful country, quite different from its neighbors.
