  • In the center of a vulcano

    16 de dezembro de 2017, Equador ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    After we cured ourselves by resting for 4 days, we went to Quilotoa, a little village high up in the mountains. But it's not just any mountain... It's a vulcano, filled with blueish, greenish clear water.
    After we did the big loop (12km) on the mountain, we went down and rented a kayak and paddled to the center of the volcano.

  • Montañita

    20 de dezembro de 2017, Equador ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Montañita, a little town with a beach and many Hostels.
    So what's so special about this place?

    First hostel: Iguana Backpackers
    OK, I'm not really picky, but here I didn't feel like staying for long.
    But despite of that, it's become kinda a little home for me. Went there almost every evening.
    Met so many people here (Marcus, Kim, Ellie, Douwe, Leonie, Kat, Cat,....) and many more.
    Love you all!

    I booked the rest of the 2 weeks in Kiwi Hostel.
    And man the view is amazing. Nice People all over again(Omar, Laura, Jota, Mate, Sam, Shelby, Picachu...) Sry, but I don't have the space here to mention all of you guys and chicas.
    Just know, I won't forget you.

    I feel good here, I really do.. and I fell in love with all of you backpackers and hostel members...

  • Montañitaaaaaaaaaa

    31 de dezembro de 2017, Equador ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Fiestaaaa, Partyyyyy, Músicaaaaa, Chicaaaaas...
    Of course we had zero snow on Christmas in Montañita,
    BUT...
    Beautiful beaches, super sunny weather, good & cheap cocktails, beer beer beer, tattoo guys 😉, beautiful chicas, crazy people and cool friends... perfect, just perfect!

    On New years everybody came here. This little town grew in size by 10 fold.
    Everybody at the beach.
    The cocktail-street was filled up by tourists,
    The clubs became extremely expensive,
    I lost people here all the time but then again found others.
    But that's new fucking years!!

    We even burned a Picachu, filled with explosives. Kinda a tradition here.

    All in all I had the best 2 weeks since...
    Since ever!

  • Cusco... More like: cold yo

    14 de janeiro de 2018, Peru ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Now up in the mountains is Cusco, a nice big city with shitty weather... Parden my words, but it's mostly rainy and cold af.
    But we are here for a reason, for Machu Picchu.
    And so we went there. Separately.

    Machu Picchu was great, but the 2days tour (Me) wasn't, more so the 5 days trip (André) - proof of difference: see pics.
    Great view and nice people here. Had our fun (and got the flu), so next up: Bolivia

    Nightbuses are horrible...
    But not this time. It's been like a time machine... get in, sleep, don't wake up, arrive!
    TIME MACHINE BAAABYYY

    And now in Uyuni (salar de Uyuni), one of our anticipated highlights.
    Why Uyuni? You ask... What's that? You ask? Where is that? You ask...........
    Well see the pics and be astonished and jealous at once.

  • Finally down on normal height...

    1 de fevereiro de 2018, Bolívia ⋅ 🌫 23 °C

    Puh, can't breathe anymore. BOLIVIA, you live up high in the sky. How can the people live in that height (>4000m)?
    Thank goodness Santa Cruz is almost on sea level (400m)
    Now we enjoy the heat here, relax, and prepare ourselves for RÍO.
    Of course we will explore SC a bit... Cause you know why...
    Just because...
    Well because I can't get my eyes🙄 off these beautiful women😍 here. That's why!😝

    And btw here is no beach, but we still could enjoy some good old dirty pool water 😬
