“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”

Ta van, a gorgeous place 30 minutes from sapa. You need to see it to believe it. The breathtaking beauty is incredible. You can trek along rice paddies and they are set out beautifully, from on high it looks like an intricate jigsaw puzzle! Stunning!
We stayed at lucky daisy's buffalo house and it was just what you want and need! Super cosy and clean! The food is AMAZING! Family dinners were a lovely part of the stay as we chatted with other travellers. Our room was cozy and because the weather is so cold, there are even bed heaters for when you have trekked, showered and get into bed, it's super warm and cosy! I was snug as a bug in a rug! It's a great location if you want to be around the trekking trails - it’s far away from the town Sapa, which for us was perfect.The Hmong woman (or multiple) will definitely follow you and will end up being your guide although you really do not need one. Also be aware that the Hmong women are not afraid to follow right to the step of the homestay trying to sell you things. We sat down to have a beer once checked in and they waited for us - so don’t be afraid to go back inside until they finally leave. Also be aware that Hmong women will swarm you as soon as you get off the bus trying to sell. If you buy one thing you are stuffed because about 100 more women will show up and will be so pushy that in all my travels, I have never ever been so forcefully hardselled to! They even actually grab you! Anyway we just told them to back off. We did manage to buy a gorgeous outfit though, for about 8 dollars us!
Has anyone else been here? What did you think? Any better recommendations?

There's hundreds of ways to spend a Saturday in Cape Town, but we can't think of many better than exploring with new friends... Whether you're travelling as a group or flying solo, you'll find your place as part of the AP family 💙

Travelling with a friend is not only great fun and good for your budget (you can split transport and accommodation costs) but it is also a very effective way to minimize risk; if you get sick or injured your buddy can look after you.
Tag your travel buddy if you have one, still tag one if you wish for.
