Semuc Champey in Guatemala is a special place. Limestone rock pools cascade through a canyon in the middle of the Guatemalan jungle, surrounded by lush green.

While sometimes I need the privacy and luxury of a private room, most of the time I still like to meet other travellers, and luckily there…

I was excited about my first visit to the Czech Republic, my 33rd country, and one that had been on my list for a long time.

I love Barcelona. The city was my adopted home for three years before I disappeared to travel the world. Now, it is always a pleasure to come back, visit old friends, eat all the amazing food, and discover new hidden gems that I didn’t know existed. In between staying with friends in Sitges and Barcelona, I had four nights ‘spare’ when I wanted to stay in a hostel in Barcelona. I searched online, found Fabrizzio’s Petit hostel and was thrilled…
