Antigua is the number one place in Guatemala to spend some time. Like Chiang Mai in Thailand this is where the majority of expats hangout, work online, play music, chill. It’s got a real young, hipster vibe about it – but genuine hipster vi...
After 2 weeks in Rio for the World Cup Final and reunions with old friends, I needed a place to recharge and regroup – Florianopolis was that place, and what a choice it proved to be. A gorgeous island dotted with lagoons, lakes and...
Antigua was the next destination on my Guatemalan adventure. It was the place I was most excited about visiting too, I had heard so many great things about how beautiful it was, how low-key it was, how the climate was perfect so I was ready...
After yesterday’s unexpected adventures in Rio Dulce with the hot spring waterfall and the ravine canoeing my day trip today had a lot of competition to try to beat. I had organized a trip with the guys at Guatemalan Adventures to take me o...
Rio Dulce is a spot than most people miss on their journey around Guatemala but hopefully I’m here to put that right. Rio Dulce is about a 5 hour journey from Flores and Tikal in the north, and another 5 hours or so from Antigua in the sout...
Guatemala is arguably the best country in Central America to backpack through. It has something amazing to see within a 5 hour journey for each stop, so it’s perfect to plan a 10 day trip through. The most famous site of all, Tikal, is foun...
Florianopolis should be on your Brazilian itinerary, it’s as simple as that. Taking the bus ride in from Florianopolis the ‘city’ across to Florianopolis ‘the island’ was nothing short of spectacular. The ride took us between two lagoons, t...
Belize City is not the kinda place you wanna spend much time, but there’s one thing you HAVE to do if you’re transiting through, it’s just 40 minutes or so from the city that you have to try – cave tubing. Only a couple of opera...
Caye Caulker is to Belize what Pai is to Thailand. A chilled out backpacker hangout. It’s been famous for this for decades and shows no signs of changing it’s demographic just yet. The island is just a one hour boat journey ($10) from Beliz...
Belize is the only country in Central America which has English as their mother tongue, and the culture is much more Caribbean than Hispanic. Nowhere is this more true that Belize’s most famous backpacker hang out – Caye Caulker island. Alt...
So I decided to take the plunge, against all advice, and head to Cancun. I had visions (nightmares?) of 18 year old celebrating arriving in a country where they can drunk under the age of 21, and chanting USA, USA at the top of their voices...
During my amazing stay at the Jaguar Reef Lodge, I wanted to get out to explore the country. Too much time on a beach drives me buts, luckily Jaguar Reef run loads of tours so it was time to get my exploring hat on. Chichen Itza was still...
Thanks for deciding to subscribe to my blog, it means a lot to me that people trust a normal guy from Ireland.
You should be proud you're taking a new step to changing your life!
As you know, blogging changed my life. I left Ireland broke, with no plan, with just a one-way ticket to Thailand
and no money. Since then, I started a blog, then a digital media company, I've made
more than $1,500,000 USD, bought 4 properties and visited (almost) every country in the world. And I did it all from my laptop as I
travel the world and live my dream. I talk about how I did it, and how you can do it too, in my COMPLETELY FREE
Ebook, all 20,000
words or so. Just finish the process by putting in your email below and I'll mail it right out to you immediately. No spam ever too, I promise!
Take ownership. Take action, and remember
"If you don't build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs"
