Share your travel tales to WIN a trip for four!

Hi Darren James,
Way back when, in a time when shorts were short and beards were long, two globe-trotting friends decided to form a company that reflected an intrepid style of travel. And, not surprisingly, they called it 'Intrepid'. In the twenty-two years that have passed with co-founders Darrell and Manch still at the helm, this adventurous community of travellers has grown to include hundreds of thousands of inspired explorers across the globe. But what does it mean to be Intrepid?
We'd love you to show us what makes you Intrepid. Simply share your travel experiences with our global community and you could WIN a trip for four to any Intrepid destination, including international flights! But that's not all, whether you vote for your favourite entry or share your own, we'll give you 15% OFF your next adventure. So what are you waiting for, we know we're Intrepid...are you?
Happy Intrepid travels!
Sue Elliot
Intrepid Express Editor, Intrepid Travel

I am fearless

"My first time overseas was Indonesia. I loved it, even though I was constantly tugged at by locals wanting to touch the "Anak perempuan kulit putih yang indah" (beautiful, white girl). I was six years old and already fearless. From then on wandering was in my blood. Travelling from one country to another, experiencing everything and anything I could..."

Pleasure and pain in Malaysia

"The sight of a Hindu man with a skewer piercing through his cheek and tongue and bells hanging from skin hooks on his back certainly makes one cringe. But at the same time one is also unable to look away for sheer curiosity and amazement. How do they endure the pain? Why do men do this to themselves?..."

"Riding shotgun in the taxi enroute to Djemaa-el-Fna, the square in the heart of old town Marrakech, my eyes grew large and a healthy smile dawned on my face...oh how good it felt to be back on the road in a foreign land, even if we had just dodged a roaming camel and horse. It's exactly these kind of unexpected sights I love to see and they weren't confined to the highways..."

Up until a couple of years ago, most children aged between three and five in rural villages in Laos were not attending preschool. This was largely due to the lack of facilities, trained teachers and learning materials, but also because most parents in rural Laos didn't understand the importance of early childhood education for children...
