When our best friend Amy said she was coming home from Australia for the first time in 4 years we were all very excited to see her, and even more excited when we managed to book our first holiday together in 17 years. Yes thats right 17 years of friendship and we have never mustered …
Thursday 23rd JanI woke up the day after our eventful tour, and Lou had told me she’d been googling about the Spice Garden and read that Tour drivers get paid commission for taking people there. Oh dear, it just gets worse. (I paid £60 for herbal remedies because I love natural products, but then remembered …
Tuesday 21st JanuaryAfter waiting a little while to get my passport back and trying to explain myself so they understood, I was relinquished from the Monastery. I felt relief as I walked to the bus stop. I waited, a bus stopped to let someone off and then drove past me, so I thought I’d look …
Spoiler alert, yes I did visit a Monastery with the intention to stay for 2 nights and I did leave early. When I was explaining this to the people at the hostel I went to in Kandy, one guy remarked “you went to a monastery and didn’t expect it to be like that?”, well no, …

So the lovely Sara and Mara told us about this rave, and when we first looked there weren’t any tickets left, only 100 for sale on the day. So we booked Hostal Azul and …
So I knew that we were spoilt in Cancun and Tulum with the variety of vegan options, as here it is a very different story. Vegetarian options seem to be available in the places that I will discuss below, however turning these options into Vegan did prove tricky at times. We have also only explored …
26th December to 3rd January In summary, Granada felt super safe, it was the first place we experience hostels without locks for the dorms, it was very beautiful, and we made great friends! My only dislike was seeing the horse and traps. I think we could have spent less time here and gone to Leon …
22nd – 26th December 2022. Its literally called Paradiso Hostel. And it really is paradise. Especially after coming from Managua (no offence Managua)! To get here we got a taxi from the Hotel, pre paid and driven by a female driver (just makes ya feel more secure ya know… No offence men)… When we arrived …
