Holiday heaven: Laos
It's hard to choose but Laos is my contender for most amazing destination for many reasons. Besides the friendly people, the fact that as a land-locked country it still boasts almost 1,000 islands makes it something very special. Laos also still possesses an innocence which is hard to find in most places, partly due to its communist isolation for so many decades.
I spent four months in the country and during that time was lucky enough to enjoy a weekend at an eco project on the northern border called the Gibbon Experience. I was blown away by it. The basic premise is that people pay to spend two nights in giant treehouses which are over 100 feet above the ground and can only be accessed by zip-lining in and out.
