Jungle date: 20151206. A group of trekkers and I embarked on our first day into wilderness for a remote village near Wang Mae. Before our journey began, the group got to know  each other over a banana leaf filled with rice, egg, and vegetables. The group was a UN of travelers with people from all the countries you’d want to visit: France, Netherlands, and Brazil to name a few. Our language barriers didn’t make it difficult to break the ice. As a group of mostly guys (one lady among us) we bonded over the disappointment that more women weren’t in our group. These are pictures I took before the trek in the village farm.
