Visit Ollantaytambo Here’s a fact I learned the hard way: Cusco, Peru sits at a staggering 3,399 m (11,152 ft), while Machu Picchu is actually a lot lower at 2,430 m (7,972 ft). I had no idea. I thought I was doing the right thing by acclimating in Cusco for a few days before the […]
Let’s get right to it: Are Huacachina and Paracas worth visiting? Short answer: Not as the main event. But, if you are passing through on the bus between Lima, Cusco, or Arequipa, then yes, definitely. A day or two here can be one of the highlights of your trip, if you know what to do […]

A local family in Paracas took me and two others out on their fishing boat the other morning for the most authentic experience in Paracas, […]
If you’re like me and visiting Peru’s Sacred Valley, you’ve probably stared up at the massive rock walls and wondered… “Can I climb that?” The answer is a very satisfying, yes. Rock climbing in the Sacred Valley is not only possible, it’s incredible. I booked a full-day climbing trip with Peru Climbing Experience, and to put […]
Pretty much every climber who visits Kalymnos will make their way over to Telendos at some point. Telendos was separated from Kalymnos during an earthquake in 554 AD.

Paris, the most romantic city on earth. On my latest Paris trip with the girls, I decided to slow down a bit and sip up the stunning views at the Luxembourg Gardens and the Eiffel Tower with my new travel tea pot—and a friend in tow. This is how to brew up the most perfect […]
Little Eden is a newer sport climbing crag near Vathy in Kalymnos, first set in 2019 – and yes it’s paradise. Climbing at Little Eden was one of the highlights of a recent trip to Kalymnos. The routes are relatively short about 20-25 meters, and catch shade around noon. It’s the perfect place to go if […]
