Travel, eat, repeat.
On day two in Baños, we decided to bike the infamous Ruta de las Cascadas from Baños to Pailón del Diablo. I had read a few blogs and was confident we could find our way independently, rather than join a tour group. I’m happy we chose this option, as we were able to spend as […]
The Pasochoa Summit Trek is often named as one of the best day hikes in Ecuador. We left from Cotopaxi Secret Garden at 8 am and spent five or six hours hiking roundtrip. At the summit we reached 4,220 meters or about 13,800 feet. Since it’s a longer hike with significant elevation, it’s recommended to […]
On day two at Secret Garden Cotopaxi in Ecuador, we decided to hike to Cotopaxi base camp and mountain bike down. At 7:15am we walked from our cozy hobbit home over to the main building for breakfast together. We had crepes with bananas, a drizzle of chocolate and a cup of fruit. At 8am we […]

I went rock climbing at Gjipe beach last summer and absolutely loved it. Gjipe beach is a true summer paradise for climbers and non-climbers alike. Nearly every blogger who has been to Albania quotes Gjipe beach as the most beautiful in Albania. I was excited to find out that the very same beach was also […]
My girlfriends and I started our trip to Albania in Kodrra, Saranda, Albania. Compared with Ksamil, Saranda is a much more pleasant place to be. You get a mix of history, locals and delicious food with far fewer tourists.
The Ksamil Albania beaches are nothing like what you see on Instagram. The beaches are overcrowded and the islands are nothing like the pictures.
Port de Soller is a small village on the west coast of Mallorca. It’s known for instagrammable sunsets, the only sandy beach on this side of the island and easy access to the Tramuntana mountains.
