Welcome. I don’t use this much blog anymore, but there is still some good content here from back in the day, and I still travel a lot. Now though I just share on my Facebook and Youtube channels and then share that content here.
Our final adventure in Colombia, trekking to The Lost City (Ciudad Perdida)! Tried to keep some of those natural jungle sounds in there on this video. Was a great little adventure! Link to original post on Facebook with more images
Part 1 of our actual travels in South America begins with a lot of travelling. Buses, planes, taxis and walking, lots of it with huge bags, from Roldanillo in the south of Colombia to Santa Marta in the north. Colombia pt 3: Roldanillo to Santa
After Colombia we only went paragliding once more in South America, Lima, Peru. Fortunately it was a pretty unique experience as far as flying goes. Flying between ocean and a sprawling metropolis felt really bizarre. A tricky landing area and the wind was super strong
Well that brings a rapid and unfortunate end to my trip to Ager in Spain. Rather than spending 2 weeks hiking and flying in the mountains, I was absolutely attacked by bed bugs yet again. I thought I had brought them from South America until
Super long hike for a short flight here in Ager. 2 hours 20 and many kilometres over a 1000 meter climb, I don't remember my pack feeling so heavy. Unfortunately wind was to strong until around seven thirty, and then the lift wasn't great so
Well that is it for Valparaiso and Chile! We had a great month of catching up on work for me and art for Calina, as well as a lot of time to just chill. Valparaiso was beautiful but more an excellent end to all the
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! After years of making fun of Calina for being the worst gift giver, she only goes and gets me the best gift! Aside from mountains of guilt free birthday cake, she got me a Nintendo Switch! Great little
Happy birthday me! Calina is like what do you want to do on your birthday? I’m like “FOOD!!”. So full, that burger was ridiculous, but lucky I also have a cake stomach. Link to original post on Facebook with more images
Surprisingly beautiful city this Valparaiso. This is from a graveyard behind our apartment. Link to original post on Facebook with more images
Day 3. On to Chile We started early again on this day and made a few stops before heading to Chile. Mostly based around deserts and lagoons again. The final lagoon we stopped at was near the border of Bolivia and Chile and continued the
Day 2 in the desert. Today we started early again, I didn't sleep very well as I struggle to breathe at altitude, all those years of smoking catching up to me I guess. Fortunately all we had to do was drink coffee and jump in
Now we are chilling in Chile for a bit, I have more time to put up a post catching up our travels. After La Paz in Bolivia we caught a bus straight to Uyuni, a nothing little town but close to the famous Uyuni salt
After our trek to Machu Picchu we relaxed for a day and then hit the road to Puno and lake Titicaca. We almost skipped the tour of the floating islands after hearing how touristy they are, but while wondering around randomly our timing worked out
Salkantay trek day 5. Machu Picchu The big day. The cherry on top of the beautiful lakes, mountains, jungles and experiences we took in getting here. Machu Picchu. The day started wet and cloudy as we began hiking at 5am, and continued to be cloudy
Salkantay trek day 4 Day 4 was quite an intense hike. Starting again at 6am, this time it was raining even before we began our walk, but not very hard fortunately, just hard enough to make some decent mud. Less than an hour in we
Salkantay trek. Day 3 Another very early start and on the trail at 6am. Now seemingly at the bottom of the valley, most of the trail this day was flat with only little ups and downs as we walked along a thin mountain path with
Salkantay trek. Day 2 The day started with a wake up at 5am after little to no sleep for me and a few others. Fortunately we were woken up by the guides at our door with a steaming hot cup of coca tea (helps with
Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu. Day 1 We have returned! After 5 days of hiking in the mountains to the famous Machu Picchu, one of the seven wonders, we are back in Cusco recovering from some intense hiking. We met some great people, faced some
We've been in Cusco about a week and the last few days have been a treat for the senses with the lead up to Easter. We have had some great meals, and some terrible meals (the local market ceviche might have caused some stomach issues).
We’ve had a few days around Cusco and I finally had good enough internet to upload our final Van life video. Part 6: The end of van life (for now)! Vanlife 2018 Part 6: The Finale The grand finale of our 2 years of van
Great day of sightseeing near to Cusco. Yesterday we did a tour and it was pretty terrible, today definitely made up for it. 7am start and 7pm finish. A long day which started at Chinchero, a Spanish church beautifully painted inside, but built on the
With all the travelling around and new stuff to see, I forgot to share part 2 of our time in Colombia. Still have to make the Lost City hike video as well, they are mounting up! Colombia Part 2: Paragliding Roldanillo, Salento and Exploring All
Great day wandering around Cusco. The owner of our hotel told us where to find a great local place to eat and it was awesome, and cheap! My two favourites. After that we mainly just strolled around, soaking in this beautiful city surrounded by mountains
