Medellin. A city shadowed by a history of drugs and corruption. A city progressing and overcoming, yet still slightly tainted. A city full of life, an exuberant nightlife, beautiful women, implants and epic street food.
We stayed ... Read more >

This is the part of my trip where I fall head over heals in love with the world. Perhaps it's this beautiful country with undertones of dark history and an apparent honesty in the people about their country's past with no attempt to sugarcoat it, yet ... Read more >

Photos tell stories, like a song, a photo can capture a feeling at a specific moment. A handful of photos capture just a few moments of an extraordinary journey. I am a Nurse, currently living in the middle of Western Australia. Polaroids have captured ...

Free morning to walk around this quaint and somewhat beautiful town. At least this morning shops and restaurants were open whereas yesterday by 5pm all shutters were down. Luckily we found a good Italian restaurant last night and enjoyed ... Read more >

My love for photography started when I went to Cuba in 2008. Back then I had a compact sony camera. It was a fantastic new world, or more like a fantastic old world. Worn facades, no brands and classic cars rolling on the streets. I wanted to capture ...

It's my birthday in exactly two weeks - hope to be at the Ecuadorian Coast, eating fish and ice cream. Sorry it doesn't sound right in combination, but everything at the right time. Which does not include (at least for me) Guinea -pig. This is the new ... Read more >

The town Pasto as we ride in from above - just like "Chistobal de las Casas" in Mexico and "Medellin" in Colombia.
Why do we like to compare what we don't know with what we think we know: This is just like Mt Tam, Marin - this landscape reminds me ... Read more >

I am saying this, because there is a huge mountain between the village of Chachagui and the town of Pasto.
We stopped early, in fact, since we left Popayan we stop early every day. It seems like James and I take turns feeling not quite "up to snuff".... Read more >

We spend all Saturday in this cute little white housed town. The hostel is run by a family in a colonial house near the main Plaza. We basically stayed in their house in their room and cooked in their kitchen. Did laundry and got some stuff done while ... Read more >

Antonio had the idea to weigh our bikes on one of those truck weigh stations on the PanA. Highway. Here is the result: together James and I including bikes weigh 250kg. James rode off the scale and left was 125kg. (me and my bike). Amazing how J. and ... Read more >

Yes, indeed - we rode from CALIfornia to CALI, Colombia.
Our most generous host family in Tulua drove us out of town (meaning they showed us the way with the truck) send us on a flat aimed highway to Cali.
The day before was spend in our ... Read more >

The next day cycling was beautiful, sunny...lots of gentle climbing. We decided to take a smaller, longer side road with a promise of less traffic. Climbed amongst the coffee plants after riding the flats for a while for warm up. We climbed another 1200m, ... Read more >

Pay back time!
Our destination after the rest of the descend from the infamous Alto de la Linea was a nice place to stay and recoup. Armenia with the help of the Lonely Planet provided just that. A sweet little hostel away from the center. Very ... Read more >
