I was back in London again, but this time for a good cause. I was climbing up the O2 arena, the old Millennium Dome to raise money for Canine Partners, an amazing charity which helps to train puppies to become assistance dogs to help people with disabilities. The climb up the O2 was great fun […]
Antigua Guatemala is a lovely city, surrounded by volcanoes. One of the best things to do in Antigua Guatemala is to hike a volcano, either the live volcano Pacaya, or hike Acatenango Volcano to see Fuego Volcano which is almost always spewing some ash and lava. It is an incredible sight but the Acatenango volcano […]
Cotopaxi National Park was on my list of places to visit in Ecuador, but sadly when I visited the park was closed as Cotopaxi volcano was erupting! I will have to save it for the next time I visit. Until then, I asked Eran Hayoun from Gulliver’s Expeditions to share his favourite ways to experience […]
Antigua Guatemala is a gorgeous town, filled with beautiful buildings and indigenous culture, and surrounded by volcanoes. Agua Volcano towers about the town, Fuego Volcano spews smoke and lava, Acatenango is a tough hike with glorious views of Fuego, and Pacaya Volcano is still live but a gentler hike.

Iceland has been on my bucket list for a while, and the land of fire and ice is unlike anywhere else on the planet. For the moment, I’ve had to postpone my Iceland travel plans until I save up some more cash, but to keep my wanderlust in check I’ve been exploring some of the […]
After learning to dive in Utila Honduras, I was keen to test out my PADI diving certification in Mexico. The last time I was backpacking in Tulum, I went snorkelling in some cenotes near Tulum, and saw some people diving in the cenotes there, so I thought this would be the perfect way to dive […]
Utila is one of the best places in the world for scuba diving. You may not have heard of this little island off the coast of Honduras, but if you want to learn to dive, or to dive in in one of the best locations for scuba diving, you had better learn more about Utila! […]
The Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia are truly incredible. One of the highlights of my time in South America as a whole, and an experience not to be missed in Bolivia, a tour of the Uyuni Salt flats is something you will remember for a long time to come. The first time I went to […]
