I was only planning to stay in Cancun for a couple of days. Luxury resorts and all-inclusive hotels in Cancun where you stay by the pool all day didn’t appeal to me, if I am going to be in Mexico, I like to feel like I’m in Mexico, not just a hotel. So, when I […]
Nicaragua is one of the countries in Central America I still haven’t made it to. It is definitely on my list, for the incredible nature, volcanoes, beaches and friendly people – I can’t wait to visit Nicaragua! In the meantime though, I asked Daniela from The Lost Romanian to share her tips and recommendations for […]
England feels very different to Mexico. Different to anywhere in Latin America in fact! Everything in England is calmer and quieter, but less colourful, and less fun. A grey afternoon in November wasn’t the best welcome back to my native country, that’s for sure! Many people find that reverse culture shock is worse than the […]
I’ve been travelling in Latin America for about two years now; ten months in South America, and 13 months in Cuba, Mexico and Central America. I am still no expert, but I have definitely learned a few things along the way! I wrote a similar post about what I had learned after one month of […]
The pink lakes in Mexico were on my bucket list for a while, after seeing Instagram photos of the bright pink water and gorgeous blue sky, with a girl floating on an inflatable pink flamingo. I wanted to be on that flamingo, and take a dip in the unearthly pink water. So, when I realised […]
Bogota certainly wasn’t my favourite stop in Colombia. Compared to the rest of this beautiful country, Bogota is busy, dirty, and the traffic is always horrendous, However, I was pleasantly surprised to find there were more than enough things to do in Bogota keep me occupied for a few days before I took my flight […]
Travel photography is something we all do, every time we go on holiday, take a trip or visit a local attraction. We all want to take perfect travel photographs to remember our vacations, and with the popularity of Instagram and Facebook, we want everyone to be wowed by our holiday snaps. I love taking photos, […]
You must be realising by now that I am a huge food fan. Everywhere I visit I am trying to take as many cooking classes and food tours as possible, from a tapas tour in Barcelona to a cooking class in Mexico City, and learning how to make chocolate in Belize, I am always on the […]
I first came to Guadalupe Colombia in June 2016. It was one of the last places I visited in South America before I flew home, and was one of my favourites. This tiny town in the Santander region of Colombia was barely on the map back then, I’d read one blog article about Las Gachas, […]
If Santa Cruz was a busy, traffic filled, pollution swamped city, Samaipata was the perfect antidote. I loved Samaipata, a peaceful town in the middle of the beautiful Bolivian countryside. A 3 hour drive from Santa Cruz, it was definitely worth the journey. You could take a bus or even a taxi from Santa Cruz […]
