COMO Uma, Paro, Bhutan

Bhutan – one of the most incredible destinations I’ve experienced. Remote, spiritual, full of nature and empty of people. Its hard to find words to describe the uniqueness of being immersed in this country, and the photos barely do justice. We had planned this trip a year in advance, and I’m glad we did, because […]
