The Kuna People: rare insight into one of the world's most private & endangered indigenous cultures
Welcome to paradise. The Sandblass Islands (or Kuna Yala as it's called amongst locals) is a series of 365 islands off the coast of Panama in Central America. The cluster of picture perfect, palm tree dotted islands are a common tourist route for travelling between Central South America. Tour companies journey the waters with small boatloads of travellers year-round from Panama to Columbia, but few give an insight into the notoriously private indigenous Kuna people that inhabit them.
The Kuna people are a small but proud community, the last endangered tribe of the Caribbean. They successfully fiercely fought for their independence from mainland Panama in 1925 and since have managed to preserve their unique language and traditions. They are living in a secluded time capsule, making them one of the world's most hidden and fascinating cultures.
We started talking with Sandblass Frontera - the only totally indigenously owned tour company - about creating a video for their business. But after uncovering the incredibly rich Kuna culture, we realised the story was so much deeper.
We were invited by village elders to live amongst a local community whilst we worked on this video - granted a rare view into this sacred world. We were so moved by the Kuna people's profound love and respect for their precious community. There is an innate dedication to community that drives this culture. That same dedication is a never-ending source of joy and kindness towards each other and the land where they reside.

1 hour Vinyasa flow from Soph's Grandma's living room #covid19
มุมมอง 6874 ปีที่แล้ว
Since we're all stuck at home and I have far too much time on my hands, I've decided what better way to give-back, than plan and film yoga videos. We're all stressed, confused and a little out of sorts so anytime you can take a minute to breath, or an hour to create space within your mind and body is guaranteed to help. I am coming at to you live (well technically not live), from my Grandma's l...

มุมมอง 6824 ปีที่แล้ว
The friendship gloves are off, and Sophie Kristie are ready to release their competitive sides as they experience Mexico City’s Coyoacan Market the only way they know how…through an elaborate and stressful game. The rules are - 3 minutes on the clock, a budget of $8AUD with the challenge of buying and making the most authentic Mexican dish possible. Who will reign supreme after navigating down ...
A Virtual Tour Of Mexico's Cutest Town: Valladolid
มุมมอง 1964 ปีที่แล้ว
Have you heard of Valladolid in Mexico? Neither had we...until we accidentally booked a bus ticket there! It was the best mistake ever, because what we found was the most authentic, cute as a button colonial town that can only be described as magic. Let us take you on a walking tour of the city of Valladolid (with zero walking required) that's earned itself the Mexico Tourism 'Pueblo Magico' se...
What Does Success Look Like? Couple In Their 20's Open Successful Business With ZERO Budget
มุมมอง 8784 ปีที่แล้ว
What does success ‘look like’ to you? Is it living up to your family’s expectations? Is it being financially comfortable? Is it feeling like you’re living a life in accordance with your own values? Is it stability? Is it happiness? Like most people, we’ve found ourselves going through a process of questioning and redefining everything we associated with ‘success’ and what that looks / feels lik...
What YouTube Doesn't Show You About Tulum's Cenotes
มุมมอง 6914 ปีที่แล้ว
We've all seen the azure blue of a cenote (Mexico's natural swimming holes) on Instagram and tagged our besties to start planning the next trip ASAP, but there are lots of parts of what has now become a booming profitable business that online won't show you. Let us lift the Instagram filter and give you an all access pass to experiencing one of the world's natural beauties from your couch.
How to be a tight ass in Tulum
มุมมอง 1.3K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Tulum is that place everyone has heard of and mot people have on their bucket list. Beautiful white sand beaches, delicious food and great cocktails but what they don't tell you is how bloody expensive it is!! Going there on a budget proved rather difficult, even going out for breakfast cost us $45 USD We nearly fainted. If Tulum is somewhere you plan on visiting (but aren't a millionaire), fea...
Swimming With 12 Meter Whale Sharks On Isla Mujeres, Mexico
มุมมอง 6965 ปีที่แล้ว
There are certain things in life that remind you how small you are and how incredible the world is. Swimming centimetres away from 12 meter whale sharks in Isla Mujeres, Mexico has been one of them. The gentle giants are so graceful, so curious and so majestic. It was truly a magic experience that left us in awe of the world. Isla Mujeres has the highest single congregation of whale sharks in t...
Bed Bugs Whilst Travelling. SEND HELP ASAP!

When you're travelling, things are bound to go wrong. Cancelled flights, missing passports, but all of that pails in comparison to FINDING YOUR FLESH HAS BEEN SNACKED UPON BY A BED BUG INFESTATION. Kristie Sophie think they have made a horrific discovery - but they need your help. Is this or id this not the true sign of bed bugs? And how do you get rid of it when travelling?
24 Hours On Isla Mujeres. Welcome To Mexico Friends
มุมมอง 1.5K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Heard that Cancun is full of cheesy all inclusive hotels? Look further than that! A 15 minute ferry ride away, paradise awaits. And you only need 24 hours a golf buggy to experience. Whether you're planning on going there for realz (or just pretending to from your desk at work #escapereallife) let us take you there. Granted, we're no 'Getaway' but we do know how to have a LOL and fin cheap shit...
Are We Travel-Buddy Compatible? - Getting To Know Each Other Quiz
มุมมอง 5885 ปีที่แล้ว
You’d think you’d know the person you buy a one-way ticket overseas with right? Wrong. Whilst we’ve known each other for a while, we’ve actually not spent a tonne of time together. So living / working / travelling / sharing a bed together for every waking moment for the foreseeable future should be an interesting experiment. Get to know us as we get to know each other and figure out if we’re tr...
The False Start
มุมมอง 2K5 ปีที่แล้ว
We'd quit our jobs, sold everything we own, bought one-way tickets to Mexico with not much more than a loose plan of filming videos of things that inspire us. Safe to say we were running on adrenaline a handful lentil chips and not much more. We both knew deep down that having another second to ACTUALLY think about what we were doing could spell the end of the adventure. The unknown is terrifyi...

      Meditation And Margaritas 😍 I think about 20 minutes seems to be a good mark 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t know though, I don’t know how much work would then go into that 20 minute video… I just had a look at a couple of my favourite TH-camrs and their videos seems to be between 15 to 20 minutes
