It wasn’t on our original list. Having planned to stay in Trujillo instead, we decided to take a detour after our new-found friend explained its potential. “It’s a fishing village with a long beach and Inca ruins,” she had said, excitedly. We were sold. I had left my base in Colombia and was exploring the rest… Continue Reading…
I had left Ecuador and after spending my last stop at Vilcabamba – the Valley of Longevity, I had jumped on a night bus with my new partner in crime. We were due to spend the next two weeks together travelling down through Peru and visiting social impact projects on the way. I had been… Continue Reading…
My time in Costa Rica was limited. Having only been stamped for 10 days entry meant that I was on a whistle stop tour. One of the highlights that I simply had to do was snorkel at Tortuga Island, an island near the Nicoya Pennisular named after a turtle because of its shape, not because… Continue Reading…

It had been a destination that had been on my bucket list for years: Dubai – a millionaire’s playground full of glitter, gold and opulence with gorgeous beaches, futuristic skyscrapers and year round sunshine. A city that since the discovery of oil in the 1960’s has barely stopped building. Anything the rest of the world… Continue Reading…
What do you do when it starts raining and you’re in an open air club? Cheer and just keep on dancing. That’s what the 5000 people at Top Hill, the best club in Montenegro did anyway! And I was one of them. Located on the top of Toplis Hill with night views across the city, top… Continue Reading…
Crossing back into Mexico felt like receiving a big warm hug. There was something about it; the climate, the friendly people and possibly the fact that I actually felt tall here! I was so glad to be back. I was even more glad to be back on the Ado buses. They are big and spacious with… Continue Reading…
I could barely see my feet as I trod gingerly through the dark and into the thicket following a local Rasta whom I had just met at the Tipsy Tuna bar on the beach in Placencia. After a strong rum punch he had offered me a tour of the peninsular and who was I to… Continue Reading…
