[FIRST NAME GOES HERE], have you met Ometepe? 😍

Let me introduce you to one of the most magical places on Earth... A place to discover. To connect. To grow. A place to be blown away by nature. Today, I'm taking you down to Ometepe Island. And it's gonna be awesome. Amanda is a free-spirited vagabond who loves a good adventure. She is also a fan of mystical lands where people go to grow. Just like me. So, naturally, when backpacking Nicaragua, she came across a little slice of heaven. Isla de Ometepe. Ometepe is brimming with the good stuff. We're talking natural spring pools, starry skies, and volcano hikes. We're talking delicious Nicaraguan coffee, jungle adventures, and naked hippies dancing in the rain (ok, that last part may not interest everyone). But we're talking all of that and so much more! Ometepe breathes heavily. It's alive, and it's not afraid to show it.
If you're looking for a place that can fill you with life, this is one I thoroughly recommend. Give it a go and read Amanda's post. You may have just found your next travel destination 😉 Never stop exploring. |

The peaks... Ta-da! Dani has spent her whole life chasing ridgelines and summits. Growing up amongst the peaks of New Zealand, hiking has become part of her DNA. And I’ve never heard her talk about a place the way she talks about Albania. Home to multi-day treks between remote mountain villages,...
Pakistan is a country that will often have people raising their eyebrows. It's one of those places that is still largely misrepresented in Western media, which ends up creating division in the travel community. Real adventurers like you and me, though, we know what's good. I've been fortunate to have visited Pakistan countless times myself. This is probably not the first time you hear me rave about it either... I mean, cmon. And in one of my trips there, I met Samantha, an epic adventurer who...
I've been thinking a lot about footwear for travel and hiking lately. But instead of just asking my team for feet pics (which I did anyway), I wanted to try and make our experience somewhat useful to you. Because with all these years on the road, we've inevitably made a good few packing mistakes and have worn out many, many pairs of shoes. I know that picking a single pair of shoes for a trip can be quite hard, especially if you plan on doing a whole bunch of different activities... So I...
