BELMOPAN I.II.VI.I – DAY ONE 26/09/22 After another day spent in the cabaña, seeking refuge from rain and all outside activity alike, it was time for me to get back on the road. This time round, it’d be a quick stop to the capital; Belmopan, where I’d be meeting Roy again. I remember waking up feeling all giddy and excited at […]
III.II.VII – The Chase
III.II.VII THE CHASE Kathmandu, check. Pokhara, check. And up next was our third and final stop; Chitwan. I might have had no expectations for Nepal, but this I definitely looked forward to. From the little research I had carried out before going to Nepal, this place felt rather synonymous with adventure. Finally! Arriving at the hotel, we were quite… surprised? […]
I.I.XI.I – Chetumal: Day One & Two
CHETUMAL I.I.XI.I – DAY ONE & TWO 07/09/22 & 08/09/22 One last comfortable bus ride later and there I was, in my final destination in Mexico, the city bordering Belize – Chetumal.

II.III.V – Reconnected
II.III.V RECONNECTED read on the doe The long-awaited third day was finally upon us. The day we’d get to see the Lost City. I couldn’t believe we were almost there. All battered, bruised and blistered I had persevered. It would still be a long way to go and really, we had only covered half the trek so far. But I […]
II.III.IIII – Tairona
II.III.IIII TAIRONA Somehow, against all odds, I woke up feeling better than ever. We got up, shook off our boots in case of spiders and scorpions (because apparently these things happen), and headed out before dawn in order to get a head start on what was to be the most challenging of days. We trekked along the riverside of the […]
II.III.III – Wild
II.III.III WILD read on the doe My journey through Colombia led Pedro and I to Santa Marta, a city renowned for the natural park of Tayrona – a wildlife sanctuary that is practically heaven on earth. Yet, it wasn’t for this that I had travelled there. It was the Ciudad Perdida – the lost city of Teyuna, an ancient settlement located in […]
