Since moving to Thailand and living in Chiang Mai, traveling to new countries became a big priority of ours. I've always been intrigued by those smaller countries I know nothing about. Brunei was always one of them, having lived in the Philippines twice before, it was so close yet for some reason I just never went.

This time, I'm glad I did! I was hoping to focus on finding jungle durian in Borneo and Brunei, but the lack of them actually turned this trip into a whole new adventure.
