Thanksgiving, Mayonnaise and The Incan Empire

25th November – 3rd December, 2024 Due to money constraints, we’ve certainly developed our own style of travel by this point. We’re only about two months along and we’ve realised that there is just no way we can afford to…

Camping, Kuchen and Romantic Goodbyes

21st- 24th November, 2024 Not having a fixed plan for this trip has really worked in our favour. We’re able to make up which route we’ll take on the fly, and talk to people who have been to the places…

Gourds, Fare Evasion and a Useless Snorkel

11th – 20th November, 2024 What would be the normal way to wind down after a 9 day hike through Patagonia? Would it be relaxing in cafes with coffee and cakes, catching up with family over WhatsApp that you haven’t…

The Last Hope and The End of The World

13th – 31st October, 2024 Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. A setting off point for the fortunate few who have the means to fund an Antarctica voyage or a penguin tour, it is quite a beautiful little city…

Pig’s Ears, Cheap Beers and Calamari

Our two weeks on the Iberian peninsula and our one week in the Balearic isles were not nearly enough time to really soak in all that was on offer, but what we did experience was not at all what we…

Stars, Spas & Whistles

17th September, 2024 Mas de Torrent, about an hour and a half north of Barcelona, was absolutely unreal. It would want to be, considering the money we spent to stay here, but the price tag was completely justifiable considering this…

Torres Del Paine, Chile – O Circuit Part 2

5th – 9th November, 2024 Day 5 – Grey to Paine Grande Woke up early with the definite symptoms of a very inconveniently timed man flu. Today’s walk marks the beginning of where the ‘O’ trek meets the ‘W’, which…

Torres Del Paine, Chile – O Circuit Part 1

1st – 4th November, 2024 We booked this walk about six months prior to our start date, so we had plenty of time to prepare. We only did a few multi day hikes, both three days long, where we learnt…
