We were classmates on a Rotary International Peace Fellowship, which brought together people from sectors such as academia, farming and activism to learn about conflict resolution, in Thailand.

When he suggested we explore Laos together, it felt like a natural progression of our budding friendship.Travis wanted to visit a climbing hotspot, I wanted to see the Laos that wasn’t on th...
