IT'S EASIER THAN YOU THINK. #untourist #costarica #alternativeescapes (at Golfo De Papagallo)

WHAT DO I LOOK FOR IN SCOUTING NEW TRAVEL DESTINATIONS? I look for the hidden gems, located off the beaten path, that offer unique access into cultures that remain untouched by mainstream tourism. I search for family-owned and operated properties like Ogyen Choling, in Bhutan's upper Tang valley. By travelling with Alternative Escapes, your stay at this 16-century fortress-turned-farm-guesthouse will help fund it's historical preservation, while also helping support the local community. Alternative Escapes is working with the owner of Ogyen Choling to provide scholarships for local children in the village - so if you travel here you will get to meet them! If you are ready to give alterantive travel a try, we invite you to explore this unique piece of living history. #untourist #alternativeescapes

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR NEXT NEW YEARS EVE? It could look a lot like this...if you really want it to. #untourist #paradise #punakha #buthan

BEST VIDEO SELFIE EVER? OK, maybe not, but trying to get a bunch of kids who don't speak your language to pose for a picture rarely goes according to plan - and that's just what I love about travel. Expect the unexpected...and you will definitely find it. #comeawaywithme #untourist #travelninja #adventureofalifetime
