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 …
So after an eventful first night and first experience of couch surfing, we were found ourselves staying with a very chilled out lovely guy called Pana, in a house that was open plan. Like literally, there were only 2 walls in the kitchen and downstairs lounge. It was beautiful. A sanctuary. You could sit in …
20th March 2023. This is kind of click bait because it all turned out alright in the end (it always does) but it was a pretty mad first night in La Fortuna! To save money on accomodation Hollie signed up to a website called Couch Surfing and we arranged to stay with a guy called …
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 …

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 …
8th February – 9th February 2023 So Acatenango was one of the main reasons that we wanted to backtrack and come to Guatemala from starting out in Mexico then Nicaragua … yes it doesn’t make sense Geographically, but I saw loads of videos about Guatemala (after we had booked the aforementioned countries) and so we …
28th January to 3rd February 2023 On Saturday we had one last swim in the lake, tried to de dust ourselves, bid Hugo, Ellysio and the dogs goodbye and got on the boat that would take us to the Dock to get a second boat to Panajachel. Huge rucksack on our back, small rucksack on …
