So after leaving the hostel on the beach in Juanchaco via a motor bike tuc tuc, a boat, a trip to the supermarket, a taxi to the bus stop in Bueanaventura, a bus to Cali and then an over night bus (8pm to 6am) we arrived in Nieve. Feeling like I’d been awake for about …
26t to 1st May 2023 From Medellin, the bus dropped us in Penol. A small town where we would be camping for 5 nights. We got a cab to the camp site, which was down some country roads, full of lush greenery and so so beautiful! We arrived at the camp site which was run …
16th April – 25th April 2023. So after a magical experience at rainbow, Hollie and I got a coach from Santa Marta to Medellin. We left at 5.30pm and about 40 minutes into the journey we had to stop and wait for another bus as our one had some sort of mechanical fault. Hollie and …
So this is a story all about how (did you sing that like it was the song from Fresh Prince?) I went from being totally anxious about something, counting the days until we could leave, to loving it and wishing we had gone sooner, kicking myself for not getting more involved, and focusing on future …

13th -14th March. Hollie and I were reunited at the Wet Nose Project and worked a few days together and then got our 2 days off. It only worked out as 1 night away because we still had to rotate the dogs until 8pm the night before our day off, so couldn’t travel anywhere. So …
So Hollie and I knew that we NEEDED to do a work away in Costa Rica because of how expensive it is. We had originally planned another eco farm work away, where we would be camping. However they didn’t provide food and the supermarket was a 40 minute walk away. If you hadn’t noticed by …
And you can scroll to the bottom – or just read it all until you get to that bit, to see what Hollie learnt. So after spending just under 3 months with Hollie, which is something I’ve never done, … Not just with Hollie, but with anyone. Okay obviously my parents growing up, but you …
15-17th February 2023 (Semuc Champey is part of the Cahabon River, however, the river flows under a 300-meter sheet of limestone rock. In fact, Semuc Champey actually means “where the river hides under the earth”). So after reading many blogs that narrated terrible roads, car sickness from those who never got car sick, and described …
