Taking local transportation from Antigua, Guatemala to Panajachel on Lake Atitlán is a whole different world compared to the user-friendly tourist shuttle bus. Howbeit, I was determined to get there the same way the Guatemalan people do. I didn’t allow myself the shuttle

I had made it all the way from Medellín to Mocoa, which led me to the Fin-del-Mundo (End-of-the-World) waterfall in the Colombian Amazon. Near there, smack, dab in the jungle, I stayed at the Posada Fin del Mundo, where I felt like the

I am a huge fan of travel hacking. If efficiency can be increased, then more momentary happiness is created. One solid travel hack is cutting drifting distance. Covering less earth typically saves time and dinero. And it’s more eco-friendly. When pricing tickets to

I find myself back on the US east coast thinking about an earth drifting destination. Here, costs could be too high to sustain for elongated time, without engaging in a potential work-a-lot-for-a-little scenario. A situation could entail a lot of toiling, while allowing

In my poly-continental opinion, Colombia is one of the most desirable drifting destinations on the world map today. Nature seekers are mesmerized by its varied altitudes and long, rugged coastlines.
