Hi guys and gals, how’s your week going? Better than mine I hope! While life is good, there have been a few setbacks recently. Most concerning of which is the untimely death of my poor laptop! Before anyone gets too concerned, I use Microsoft Onedrive to backup all my work, so no loss of anything
I can’t say I’m in the best shape of my life right now, but I thought I was at least in decent condition. Boy did I quickly prove that assumption wrong here in Huaraz, Peru, where I have just returned from a day hike to the gorgeous Laguna 69. The lake sits at around 4600m
So, after a rather interesting start to our time in Costa Rica, things went from bad to rather worse. At least in terms of weather – what started off as cold and windy in Monteverde quickly changed to cold, windy and rainy… And that didn’t get much better when we traveled to La Fortuna, where

Some days you just decide you’re going to have an adventure. And I have to admit, there have certainly been a few more rough and tumble days since Jon rejoined me on my adventure. Having two of us means we can take a few more risks, which leads to some interesting occurrences to say the least.
You know how you sometimes have those days where you do nothing, and then you have those days when you go out for lunch and end up on a boat in the middle of a hundred islands on the tenth largest lake in the world? This was one of those more adventurous days. The worst
Sorry for the long gaps, turns out travel is getting busy – even when you’re not doing anything particularly exciting. Still, my friend Jon and I have still managed to get a few interesting things on the books in Nicaragua. Like a few days ago, we managed to climb a fairly small hill beside the
You know its going to be an interesting couple of days when the first thing your instructor does is running screaming off the dock and into the water. Thus began my rescue diver course. That first day was a long one, with us spending about four hours in the water off the end of the
Well, as promised I ended up going volcano boarding a few days after my bout of food poisoning, because why wouldn’t I? What is volcano boarding you ask? Yeah, its pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Its riding a thin piece of wood down the extremely steep gravel slope of a volcano. Completely
