Day 1
We woke at 4:10am to brush teeth, get changed, collect our things, check out and wait for our tour company bus to come pick us up between 4:30 and 5:20 . It came at 5:10 as we waited on bean bags in the common ... Read more >

Merida
We checked in to our hostel in Merida which was a lot bigger than the one in Tulum. Very spacious, a large swimming pool, in a central location, the staff were very helpful and we had our own private room in this one for $30 for the ... Read more >

As soon as we arrived in Tulum, I breathed in deeply. It was a relief and I could tell I liked this place already! It had a real laid back, hippy vibe about the town and quite a few tourists/hippy travellers. We arrived in the morning and checked in ... Read more >

The touristy-part of Athens is scattered with ancient ruins and restaurants with all the mouth-watering foods that beg me to be a fatty: moussaka, stuffed vine leaves, stuffed tomatoes, gyros, baklava - and that’s only to name a few. It ... Read more >

CAMBODIA | Sun, 23 Feb 2014 | By kpow | Views [565]
So, my original plan was Cambodia for maybe a week, tops, I pretty much just planned to hit the Angkor Temples and then pass on through. Well… I got a bit stuck. In a good way! Mostly. It didn’t start out great, honestly. My first meal in ... Read more >

I haven't been updating because, clearly, I have been spending every free minute walking aimlessly around London. Well, not aimlessly. I always start out with a plan! Take this Saturday, for instance. I took the tube to Southwark, down along the Thames ... Read more >

Today was pretty amazing! We woke up to pouring rain and our hopes of horseback riding were dashed momentarily. But with rain, comes many things that you don't usually get to witness so we suited up and went out. We were driven up to Sacsayhuaman National ... Read more >

It is alleged that I brought the rain with me when I arrived in Christchurch. In fact it is only drizzle and, genuinely, I do not need it to feel at home!
The striking thing about landing in Christchurch is noticing how completely flat the land is ... Read more >

Yesterday I headed off to the Sacred Valley to visit Pisac. Pisac has a famous market and mountain top Inca Ruins, so I wanted to see both. Pisac is about 50 minutes from Cusco by road and is located in the eastern end of the valley. I had heard that ... Read more >

Dark it was with the moon shining as I awoke at 4:30 AM to set out toward Tikal. I didn't need much: just my passport, money for admission and food, and my camera, and I was out the door. With a rock in hand (to ward off dogs) I hoped for some quick ... Read more >

As I'm in the car with Matt, Claire, and Maddi, I was thinking of going to Spanish Lookout to hopefully meet some Mennonites but I decided to go along with them west toward Guatemala. They were discussing visiting the Mayan ruin of Xunantunich (pronounced ... Read more >

After a lengthy stay in Rio Dulce, Guatemala, I decided it was time to move on so I tagged along with a Toronto couple to Copan, Honduras. With border formalities, it took about 8 hours. Copan is only 10km into Honduras, but I definitely feel a different ... Read more >

Simply Amazing. We camped in the grounds of one of the 3 hotels there and somehow ended up in bed by about 9.30. We went on a rather unsuccessful jungle walk in the afternoon once we'd arrived on the first day - climbing the rickety Mirador lookout ... Read more >

Rounding the corner amid a tangle of
motorbikes, tour buses, taxis, tuk-tuks, dogs, elephants and pony carts, I
suppressed a sob as I saw the first towers of Angkor Wat. As a professed New World
ruins freak, seeing Cambodia's
12th-century ... Read more >
