MY TRAVEL BUDGET BACKPACKING SOLO IN SOUTH AMERICA FOR 9 MONTHS

ONE YEAR OF TRAVEL AND GETTING READY TO PIVOT IN LIFE
I don't remember where I read this quote. But it's been at the back of my mind for a while. Reading Emily Williams's book...
TAYRONA NATIONAL PARK: A SUNRISE TO REMEMBER
I'm swaying dreamily in a hammock perched on a rock. Out at sea, waking up to the roars of crashing waves as the sun rises over Tayrona National Park, with glimmering hues of dusty pink and orange.

Whether it's the Inca Trail, The Salkantay Trek, hiking to Rainbow Mountain or visiting the ruins in Sacred Valley, Cusco will be the starting point for...
HOW TO RENT FREE CITY BIKES IN BUENOS AIRES
If you're in Buenos Aires, a really fun and easy way to explore the city is hopping on a bicycle. Relatively flat, there are a number of cycle lanes and if you're there over the summer months, traffic is considerably less as Argentinians head off for their summer holidays. A free bike is a perfect way to explore Buenos Aires for an afternoon.
FITZ ROY: A SPECTACULAR PATAGONIAN HIGHLIGHT
Mount Fitz Roy, also known as Laguna de los Tres, is one of my favourite hikes of South America. Stunned by the sapphire blue waters, waterfalls cascading from gleaming glaciers and drinking from streams with water so clean, I'm on a quest to convince everyone just why you should go...
SPENDING TWO DAYS IN SAN ANDRES: COLOMBIA
I'll be honest, my main reason for going to San Andres wasn't to visit San Andres. I really wanted to check out Providencia. Nevertheless, I decided to spend a couple of days exploring the island whilst passing through.
SANDBOARDING IN HUACACHINA: PERU
There's a point on your travels where your bucket list goes out the window and you start partaking in random activities...
PROVIDENCIA: A WEEK IN COLOMBIA'S BEST-KEPT SECRET
The kind of island where everyone knows everyone, Providencia in Colombia is a world away from the chaotic life of a busy mainland city. Stretching 17km around, it takes no more than an hour to do a loop around the island at a...
HOW TO GET TO PROVIDENCIA FROM SAN ANDRES: COLOMBIA
With no doubt, Providencia is Colombia's best-kept secret. Located closer to Nicaragua than to Colombia, it forms part of the Archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina. Only those who really reallly want to go...
DANCING ON PERITO MORENO GLACIER: PATAGONIA
Trekking on Perito Moreno Glacier is not only one of my highlights of Patagonia, but of my whole trip so far! It's a feeling I never could have imagined and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to walk, dance and jump on a glacier...
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN BUENOS AIRES
Of all the cities I travelled to in South America, Buenos Aires is one that I can see myself going back to again. Having spent over 3 months in Argentina, it's a country that I've grown to become very fond of...
FEBRUARY 2019: LIFE ON THE ROAD
The last time I left you, I was absolutely loving living in Buenos Aires. February came around and I still couldn't bring myself to leave the city...
A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE HIKES IN SANTIAGO, CHILE
As a city, Santiago has probably been one of my least favourites. Congested and polluted, I honestly didn't warm up to the centre that much. Thankfully I booked an Airbnb outside the centre with a gym and a pool and with Chile heading into summer it was perfect timing.
W CIRCUIT PATAGONIA : IS IT WORTH $1000?
If you're heading to Torres del Paine in Patagonia, then you've more than likely heard a thing or two about the W Circuit, Patagonia. Over 80km, if you're brave enough to enter its wilderness then you're in for a hike of a lifetime....
MY FAVOURITE CITY IN PERU: AREQUIPA
Hopping off the overnight bus from Cusco to Arequipa on a slow-moving Sunday, I dropped my bag off at my hostel. With my camera at the ready, I set off exploring one of Peru's most...

HIKING THE COLCA CANYON: PERU
If you're visiting Arequipa then you may have heard a thing or two about the Colca Canyon. Famous for being one of the deepest canyons throughout the world, at a depth of 3270 metres it's Peru's third biggest attraction. The hike through the Colca Canyon has no easy route, much of it is downhill to start with and a steep incline to finish. The views are breathtaking.
REFLECTIONS OF 2018: MY YEAR IN REVIEW
This past year ended with a bang. Wow! From leaving my home in Paris, giving up my apartment and selling all my belongings to buying a one-way ticket around the world. The year has been full of changes and transformations all for the better. Looking back, every fear I had seems somewhat...
THE SALKANTAY TREK: WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR SOMEONE WHO'S NEVER DONE A MULTI-DAY TREK BEFORE
The Salkantay Trek is the first time I've covered such large distances and altitude in a short space of time...
