Papua New Guinea heart Mojotrotters

While we visited the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, a journalist from one of the national newspapers interviewed us. They don’t see many foreigners in that area.

And they really don’t see many backpackers. A lot of locals said we were the first they ever heard of.

The article, reproduced in this blog, talks about our experience in the country, and what needs to change for more budget travellers to see PNG as a viable destination.

  2. Andre, that was what I was thinking as well “Oh, look, animated gifs. How.. quaint.”

  3. Considering that 50 years ago PNG was still using stone axes, animated gifs is nothing short of miraculous here :)
