Hi Sam,
Thanks so much for your kind comment. It really means a lot to us. When we travel our goal is to meet and learn from local people, and then share those stories to hopefully dispel some of the prevailing stereotypes. And in Bangladesh there was never any shortage of opportunities to engage with people who were so genuinely curious and excited to talk with us. It was such a wonderful experience.

It brought a tear to my eye to see how open and nonjudgmental you guys were to the average Bengali.

Many people see Bangladesh as a dirty, poor, corrupt, chaotic, dysfunctional mess of a country, fellow Bengalis included.
But you and Audrey never once looked down upon anyone, always kept your cool no matter how ridiculous the question and were overall great people.

My dream in life would be to do exactly as you guys are doing, I wish there could be a way for us to work together someday.
I’d love to travel the world, and open the eyes of the sheltered masses to all the beautiful things there are to see and amazing people there are to meet on this little blue planet of ours.

Hopefully someday our paths will cross, until then keep up the great work guys, I for one have two new great people to look up to and can’t wait to read more about your travels !

Have a good one and safe travels !

I’m grateful for interactions — humorous questions and all — provided they come from a good place. That certainly seemed the case for us in Bangladesh.

Indeed, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Appropriate words for anyone, travelers especially.

Thanks for your comment.

I am a Bangladeshi and I can feel that this post is very much reliable. Bangladeshi villagers are mostly uneducated and their curiosity level is extremely high to foreigners. I was laughing while reading ” Are you a muslim?”, people can ask such rediculous question during their first meeting. It’s funny.
However, in bangladesh, visitors usually discovers poor and ugly things (as they are used to know it as poor). But why so? Why not finding which are more exotics. Bengali nature and culture are enriched. You will find it if you believe “Beauty is the eye of beholder”.

Currently on the road in Nicaragua, but we now have a base in Berlin after being fully nomadic for almost 6 years. We don’t have immediate plans to Bangladesh, but I’m sure we’ll get back one of these days.
