Across the world, and for thousands of years, there have been groups of people that choose to live outside the realms of normal society. Often, these are groups of indigenous people, or tribes, who aim to live completely self-sufficiently. Today, it’s estimated that around 150 million people live in tribes, and there are still at least 15 that have never had any form of contact with the Western world – apart from seeing the odd plane go overhead of course!

Travelling the world opens your eyes to so many new cultures, experiences, cuisines and lifestyles, and over the last thirty-odd years it’s become almost a rite of passage for young people leaving school or university to go away for a year or more.
