What else can’t you get on Amazon?? 🤔 If you What else can’t you get on Amazon?? 🤔

If you don’t *actually* need it, it’s not a deal. 

👎 And if you have to buy it from a massive corporation that evades taxes and has a terrible records on workers’ rights, then it’s also not a deal.

📍Organic rice fields owned by the Red Yao tribe, in Longsheng, Guangxi, China. 

🌾 We traveled here with @vioribeauty [sponsored] , the small company that helped the Red Yao tribe convert this land to organic farming. Viori paid for the entire process and guaranteed the farmers would have a buyer for their newly organic rice. 

 ↳ The buyer = you and me! When we order their shampoo & conditioner bars, we’re supporting organic farming and this indigenous community! 

💸 And you’ll save 10% on your order with the code TILTEDMAP (psst… it also works for $300 off this trip!)

👉 Comment CHINA for all the links! ➡ Our China guide from this trip + China travel vlog + Viori shampoo bar review  ➡ Make sure you’re following @tiltedmap first, so the DM gets to you! 😊

Traveling in rural China is full of opportunities Traveling in rural China is full of opportunities for big rewards… especially if you’re willing to get a little bit out of the Western comfort zone! 

For example:

🤯  This lovely room with that stunning view goes for about ¥150 Chinese yuan ($21 USD) in the off season (when we were there) and maybe ¥300 yuan in the high season.

Would YOU stay in this hotel? 😯

TRAVEL & LOCATION DETAILS: 

📍 “Longji Bieyuan” — a local guest house owned by a family of the Red Yao tribe – Longsheng, Guangxi, China. 

🇨🇳 We traveled here with a small company called Viori that’s helping the Red Yao tribe convert farm land to organic farming, among other projects chosen by the tribe. 

🫧 Viori uses the organic rice to make shampoo bars, and hosts trips for people to meet the tribe on their homeland in Southern China.
