LAGUNA PARON: A BEAUTIFUL HIKE FROM HUARAZ
Having hiked Laguna 69, Laguna Churup and spent a day doing the acclimatisation hike to Laguna Wilcacocha, I wondered if doing another hike in Huaraz would maybe be overdoing it. I weighed up staying another night...
DANCING ON PERITO MORENO GLACIER: PATAGONIA
Trekking on Perito Moreno Glacier is not only one of my highlights of Patagonia, but of my whole trip so far! It's a feeling I never could have imagined and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to walk, dance and jump on a glacier...
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN BUENOS AIRES
Of all the cities I travelled to in South America, Buenos Aires is one that I can see myself going back to again. Having spent over 3 months in Argentina, it's a country that I've grown to become very fond of...
FEBRUARY 2019: LIFE ON THE ROAD
The last time I left you, I was absolutely loving living in Buenos Aires. February came around and I still couldn't bring myself to leave the city...
A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE HIKES IN SANTIAGO, CHILE
As a city, Santiago has probably been one of my least favourites. Congested and polluted, I honestly didn't warm up to the centre that much. Thankfully I booked an Airbnb outside the centre with a gym and a pool and with Chile heading into summer it was perfect timing.
W CIRCUIT PATAGONIA : IS IT WORTH $1000?
If you're heading to Torres del Paine in Patagonia, then you've more than likely heard a thing or two about the W Circuit, Patagonia. Over 80km, if you're brave enough to enter its wilderness then you're in for a hike of a lifetime....
MY FAVOURITE CITY IN PERU: AREQUIPA
Hopping off the overnight bus from Cusco to Arequipa on a slow-moving Sunday, I dropped my bag off at my hostel. With my camera at the ready, I set off exploring one of Peru's most...

HIKING THE COLCA CANYON: PERU
If you're visiting Arequipa then you may have heard a thing or two about the Colca Canyon. Famous for being one of the deepest canyons throughout the world, at a depth of 3270 metres it's Peru's third biggest attraction. The hike through the Colca Canyon has no easy route, much of it is downhill to start with and a steep incline to finish. The views are breathtaking.
REFLECTIONS OF 2018: MY YEAR IN REVIEW
This past year ended with a bang. Wow! From leaving my home in Paris, giving up my apartment and selling all my belongings to buying a one-way ticket around the world. The year has been full of changes and transformations all for the better. Looking back, every fear I had seems somewhat...
THE SALKANTAY TREK: WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR SOMEONE WHO'S NEVER DONE A MULTI-DAY TREK BEFORE
The Salkantay Trek is the first time I've covered such large distances and altitude in a short space of time...
JANUARY 2019: LIFE ON THE ROAD
When I left you last I was on a serious high after just having had the most amazing month in Patagonia. A dream come true, I went into the New Year with feeling elated and the more fulfilled than I could have imagined...
HIKING THE W CIRCUIT IN PATAGONIA: WHAT NO-ONE TELLS YOU
Hiking the Torres del Paine circuit is a dream come true for anyone heading to Patagonia. I had heard so much about how amazing the W-Circuit is from travellers I had met on the road. It seemed like the thing to do...
MY FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO IN LIMA: PERU
Cloudy and misunderstood. There's something refreshing and attractive about its charcoal cliffs sweeping across the shoreline. Chaotic traffic bordering the coastline, a city clouded in history, exquisite gastronomy, eye-catching murals splattered with...
DECEMBER 2018: LIFE ON THE ROAD
December took me everywhere from the thundering glaciers in Torres del Paine to trekking on ice in El Calafate, hiking over 300km, 24-hour bus rides through deserts, bouldering, climbing, sliding, running, jumping to the tops of mountains, drinking the purest water...
10 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE SOLO TRAVEL
Travelling on your own forces you to get really comfortable in your own company and travel to your own rhythm. You're forced to listen to your own gut and make decisions based on what is right for you instead of...
THE OTHER RAINBOW MOUNTAIN: PALCCOYO
I almost didn't make it to Palccoyo rainbow mountain. As it turned out, it's one of my favourite adventures of Peru. You've probably heard of the famous Rainbow Mountain, Vinicunca. Splattered across social media, no one even knew about...
NOVEMBER 2018: LIFE ON THE ROAD
The past couple of months I've been pushing my limits on my hiking adventures and I wasn't about to stop testing the waters...
THE CHARMING CITY OF VALPARAISO: CHILE
Photogenic cities are kind of my thing and no doubt Valparaiso is top on the list. Colourful, vibrant, poetic and wonderfully crooked, Valparaiso is home to exquisite graffiti and street art splattered across town. With a bustling cultural scene...
OCTOBER 2018: LIFE ON THE ROAD
October saw the beginning of many adventures with life on the road. Finishing off my Salt Flats tour in southern Bolivia, I headed to San Pedro de Atacama where I got out my denim shorts and t-shirts, soaking up some much-needed sunshine. A little too much...
