I have travelled around Latin America, have been backpacking through Ecuador, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru and the Galápagos Islands to name a few.
During more recent trips I travelled Vietnam, Cuba, South East Asia, South Korea and Japan. In 2026, I also visited Sri Lanka and will go back to Japan.
My blog talks about those journeys. I provide information about the places I visited, give some tips about do's and don'ts.
Happy reading! Feel free to comment and ask questions.
