Scattered in the vastness of the Indian Ocean, a handful of small islands has become one of the most desirable holiday destinations in the world. Some of the islands are no bigger than a boat, others harbour a few dozen people; on others towns have been built… All of them, however, have reached an agreement with the natural elements…

“Towering” only one and a half meters above the sea, these island paradises meet every sunrise with the hope that the sea will be merciful to them today… While each sunset is a moment of gratitude that they are still there.

These tiny specs of land, strewn like beads in the ocean, are the dream destinations of an increasing number of adventurers. Today the islands want to reveal more of themselves to us, to send messages through the beautiful pictures we are going to take, to tell us that everyone are welcome and to implore us to do what is needed so that they can continue to exist when the children of our children set off on a similar journey…

The Maldives send their sunny greetings to us, "No Luggage“!

No Luggage

Maldives – Hudhuranfushi Island

We have an important plan The subject of conserving elephants arouses passions all over the world. It’s the same here in Sri Lanka. According to the Ministry of Nature Conservation there are 5879 elephants on the island, the highest number in the whole of Asia.

Despite this, elephants are still an endangered species. There greatest conflict is with man. Fortunately Sri Lankan elephants are relatively safe from poachers, since only 7% of them have tusks. In Sri Lanka the percentage is even lower. Only 2% of elephants here have priceless tusks, which costs the lives of these animals at the hands of poachers greedy for a profit. 

Everyone we ask about elephants mentions the orphanages for baby elephants. Today, however, we want to see the wild world of these giants. Where can see wild elephants in Sri Lanka? The locals say that there are three fantastic places – the Kaudulla, Minneriya, and Udawalawe National Parks.

“No Luggage” – of elephants and man!

Sri Lanka – Elephants' Orphanage

Our long-awaited trip to a distant kingdom is about to start. Once an attractive prize for its Asian neighbours and European colonizers, the kingdom has suffered savage and bloody genocides in which it lost more than 3 million people. This country in South East Asia, in the southern part of the Indo China peninsula is one of the heavily mined areas in the world. According to some estimates there may be up to ten million mines. In addition to the deadly anti-personnel mines planted throughout the country by the various governments and factions, there are also many unexploded artillery shells and other types of bombs dropped by the USA at the end of the 1960s and early 1970s.

“No Luggage” we’re travelling to a country with an impressive historical and cultural heritage. We’ll be seeing the kind-hearted, hospitable people and the hot sun giving life to the dense verdant landscape.

Cambodia – History / Temples / Pagodas

We have set ourselves a new goal – to travel slowly! We want to have time to see, to sense and to smell… We want to have time to enjoy and even shed a tear at our meetings and the scenery. We want to sigh in delight at the wonders created by man and to see humanity in the light of its destructive powers. We want to hear the legends of the local people and to tell them about our world. We want to knock on doors and be met in a modest home by people with huge hearts. 

“No Luggage” we are looking for and finding beauty, kindness and everything that brings meaning and wisdom to our life of travel.

We are travelling towards the legacy of an ancient civilization hidden deep in the forests of Cambodia.

Cambodia: Phnom Penh – Palace, Temple, Museum

What makes the journey unforgettable, what makes you want to go back over it your memory and tell your friends about it are those emotions that come straight from the heart. Emotions that come to you unexpectedly because you've seen eyes filled with love, or children running through the dust in bare feet which will never known shoes. Or your thoughts have returned to your own children, while your boat is being piloted by a little boy who will never go to school, because he can’t afford it and has to work to help his family. Such journeys take your back to that seed of love hidden deep in your heart and wants to germinate and grow into that journey we call life.

“No luggage” we’re heading out search of stories about life, love, kindness and friendship!

Cambodia – Local Life, Baptism, Tonle Sap

We’re travelling to Siem Reap in North West Cambodia. It is the most popular tourist city and the entrance to the Angkor region.

Siem Reap boasts colonial and Chinese architecture in the Old French quarter and the Old Market area. There are museums and centres for traditional Apsara dances. There is also a Cambodian culture village with craftsmen and souvenir shops. The region also has many silk farms, rice fields, fishing villages and countless bird watching opportunities around Tonle Sap lake. Tourists can also enjoy hotels and restaurants of all categories. 

Siem Reap prospers thanks to its proximity to the Angkor Temples, the most popular tourist attraction in Cambodia.

“No Luggage” in the magical world of Angkor…

Cambodia – Siem Reap / Angkor / Ta Prohm

The first thing which travelers associate with Cambodia is Angkor Wat. Why is this?

Angkor Wat is a magnificent temple with towers resembling lotus buds, gardens and galleries, friezes depicting warriors, kings, demons, battles and three thousand heavenly nymphs, all designed and built within a period of 37 years by 300 000 workers and 6000 elephants, at least that’s what the temple inscriptions claim. Millions of sandstone slabs were carried down from Phnom Kulen mount and Angkor spread over kilometers.

“No Luggage” we’re on a adventure to one of the wonders of the world. A temple insubordinate to time, unique in its beauty and level of preservation. Angkor Wat is testament to a level of magnificence and luxury far in excess of those of the Pharaohs or Shah Jahan, a monumental structure greater than that of the Egyptian pyramids, and artistic brilliance comparable with the Taj Mahal. The miracle of Angkor Wat is incomparable with any other structure in the world.

Today we will be visiting the Pyramid of the Sun – the third tallest pyramid in the world, after Giza in Egypt and the Pyramid of Cholula, which is also in Mexico. The main road through the ancient city of Teotihuacan is the Boulevard of the Dead. The Pyramid of the Sun is to the east. It is in excellent condition for its age, and we will climb the pyramid to enjoy the view of the surrounding ruins from the summit. From here we can imagine the scale of construction and the enormous scope of the once prosperous empire…

Academics continue to ask many questions about the purposes of the buildings in Teotihuacan. For years, archaeologists have searched for the tombs of Aztec rulers from the city's most prosperous period between 100 and 700 AD, but so far have found no definite trace of such. However, one thing they agree on is that the Great Goddess was worshiped in Teotihuacan.

An amazing day! 

"No Luggage"! We can't wait to delve into the colorful heritage of Mexico!

In the midst of a dense jungle, Palenque is one of the most impressive and mysterious of all the ancient Mayan sites in Mexico. Its ruins lie next to the turbulent waters of the Osumakinta River.

After a long period of prosperity followed by decline, the jungle overgrew the city's buildings hiding them the eyes of invaders and thieves. Today, the ruins have been cleared and restored and the archaeological site attracts thousands of visitors. It is located in the Mexican state of Chiapas. Although not as large as Tikal, Chichen Itza or Copan, Palenque is a treasure trove of some of the best architectural designs, sculptures and bas-reliefs produced by the Mayans. "No luggage" – our encounter with Palenque is the best way to get to know the Mayan civilization!

"No Luggage" in the world of the Mayans! A journey which is only just beginning!
