12 weeks in India: Part 1 – Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu

12 weeks in India: Part 1 – Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu

Our first trip to India in 2014 opened my eyes to a world where everything was entirely different to everything I knew. Ever since, it was India that I longed to return to more than anywhere else. The memories of squeezing our way through tightly packed, hectic streets in a daze; by the vast array of colours, smells and sounds. Of falling asleep with my head on my backpack on the crowded trains, and waking up to the sound of men selling ‘chai, chai, chaiii’.  The everlasting noise, no matter where you are, or what time. The rushes of adrenaline just by wandering outside. So in...

Lagoons, volcanos & salt flats: 4 days travelling Bolivia’s unearthly southwest

Lagoons, volcanos & salt flats: 4 days travelling Bolivia’s unearthly southwest

The Salar de Uyuni Salt Flat spans further than the eye can see until the horizon disappears at the end of it,  then there’s the lagoons that shine strange colours from red to green and blue, some are filled with flamingos, and snow capped mountains and volcanos rise above them creating picture perfect mirror reflections. At the same time your head pounds and your breath pants from the insanely high altitude – up to 5000 meters to be exact! (To put into perspective just how high Bolivia is, the highest point in the UK is Ben Nevis which sits at just 1344 meters). It’s an adventure for...

How to visit Machu Picchu as a day trip (without going on a tour)

How to visit Machu Picchu as a day trip (without going on a tour)

So we made the decision not to do a multi day hike to Machu Picchu. We didn’t fancy a tour either. With the altitude leaving us short of breath just walking around Cusco and Shaun suffering with the flu, we actually didn’t fancy doing much walking at all. So it didn’t take us long to decide that a day trip to Machu Picchu would be the perfect option for us. Our trip to Machu Picchu certainly wasn’t the most adventurous option, in fact it was rather leisurely! But it was enjoyable and easy and that’s exactly what we wanted. We soon realised that if we wanted to travel to Machu Picchu in just...

The beginner’s guide to hiking the W- Trek, Torres del Paine

The beginner’s guide to hiking the W- Trek, Torres del Paine

Torres del Paine is a national park located in southern Chilean Patagonia. It’s highlights include jagged mountains, brightly coloured lakes, glaciers, rivers and golden grasslands. The most famous sight of all being the incredible 3 rock towers which give the park it’s name. The first time I saw a photo of Torres Del Paine was just over a year ago, the colours and shapes of the rock looked like something from another planet and from that moment I knew I had to go there myself. So we planned that during our time in Chile we would embark on our first ever multi day hike, the ‘W-Trek’ at...
