South America is a place of wild contrasts, from the Galapagos islands, to the Salt Flats in Bolivia, the Amazon forest (which hopefully is going to be alright!) to mountains, flats, waterfalls and so much more all supplied by nature. One thing is for sure though, it is not short on huge cities. From my …
Hi all. Hope you are well as the week comes to a close. Today I've put up a video of my time in Peru in late 2016. It's got a bit of stuff from Machu Picchu, I did, quite a while ago now, a full video on that. Anyways, Enjoy! Also here is my short …
No – it wasn’t me, not up in the air, but it was a sight I remember from a year or so ago now fondly. Standing in a flashy shopping centre on top of high cliffs, the ocean crashing into them below, to look up and see the gliders float in was unexpected, and somehow …

When heading off to South America, I have to be honest, I was a little on edge in regards to safety. It’s been a while since I worried about safety in a destination, but South America does, in all fairness, have a reputation I guess for not being the safest part of the world to …
It seems I've reverted to doing titles with words starting with the same letter! I'm wiriting this blog on the bus from Lima to Arequipa. I'm taking a very nice bus indeed with the company Oltursa, the same one that I used from Piura to Lima. They have a VIP section and the seats are …
