Don’t make this mistake in Panama City
I made a terrible mistake in Panama City! Other than sharing that with you, this post is all about the things we did with our time in this awesome city!
We’re cycling 4,976km across the United States with 95% recycled gear!
Our final adventure to wrap up our round the world trip is finally revealed! Moo and I have decided to cycle trans-America along the Southern Tier Route from west to east. Why? Well, why not?
Volcanic craters and pirate islands in Panama
Arriving in Panama City, we hit the ground running. Moo’s mother Soz arrived from chilly England into the stifling heat of the city with as many expectation as us. First up, we were going to see the canal before spending time in El Valle de Anton and Taboga Island.
Wanted: Adventurers seeking activities in Barbados. Reward: Living the dream.
Having spent five weeks on the island, there was plenty of activities to do in Barbados. Little did we know, there was certainly more than five weeks worth.
My year of travel, a 2019 recap!
It’s a wonderful time to be alive! 2020 not only brings us a New Year, but a new decade too! Which is oddly unsettling and pretty darn exciting too. Here’s where we travelled in 2019.
Probably dont visit Petropolis when its raining.
Leaving Paraty was a shame, and upon our departure we had narrowed down our next stop to two places: Buzios Beach or Petropolis. We put it down to weather and given the foggy, wet forecast, we went for the latter.
Sidestepping a shit on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Our time in Rio de Janeiro occurred over two separate occasions. We first stayed in the inner city district of Lapa for five days, before eventually coming back for another five days, this time, staying in the glamorous beach side district of Ipanema. We literally side stepped shit on the street.
I lost my brand new earrings in Paraty, Brazil.
Ah Paraty, the colonial darling in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Flanked by dense jungle, gushing waterfalls and the impressive Costa Verde. Despite the ankle twisting cobbled streets, this little gem of a town charmed the pants out of us.
A vida lenta: Taking it easy on Ilha Grande, Brazil
Tropical island on The Emerald Coast? Sure, we could handle that! It was the perfect paradise after spending a week in the bustling, albeit grimy streets of the city – more on that soon!
Learn how we travelled responsibly in Northern Brazil
After a month in the windy north of Brazil, a week of which was spent in Jericoacoara we were aiming to travel as ethically as possible through the region. Read on to find out how we went about that!
