The tours Mick has personally created are culturally enriching, benefiting both the traveller and the local people of the host country. They evolved from Mick’s own travels through Asia over the past 25 years as a photojournalist and researcher. They are a manifestation of his personal belief that encounters with remote ethnic groups should be about lessening the impact on an environment and maximizing sustainable human development and social equality within it.
