Three months moving through Southeast Asia. Solo travellers who travel together—designed for people with time, curiosity, and zero interest in tours, cruises or anything that looks like a package deal.
Sheer rock towers rising out of rice fields. Monks collecting alms at first light. Wooden boats through floating markets. Temple complexes so vast you cycle between them. Two-day boat journeys watching villages go past. Overnight trains where you fall asleep in one country and wake up in another.
One day a week is planned together—hot air ballooning over Laos, staying with monks in the mountains, a Mekong Delta homestay. The rest of the time you're on your own. Most people grab a scooter and disappear for the day. Some find a café and stay there for hours. A few join up for dinner and compare notes.
Accommodation is characterful and well-chosen—not five-star, but a long way from budget. The sleeper bus is exactly what it sounds like. The monastery wake-up bell comes early. The ferry takes longer than scheduled.
This trip works for you if
You want adventure travel across Southeast Asia, are happy on a motorbike (even riding pillion) as you are on a sleeper train, find joy not boredom on slow boats and ferries, and approach things like monastery stays with curiosity even if they're outside your everyday.Most people on this trip are over 50, done with work or taking a break from it, and treating this like the gap year they never had. Unlike rushed Southeast Asia tours, you'll spend weeks in places, not days.
