El Chaltén turned out to be my favourite place in Patagonia. After finishing the O trek, I caught a bus from Puerto Natales to El Chaltén, where I was planning to do more hiking. My legs felt tired, but strong and I was excited about spending a few more days exploring on foot. The border … More Trekking El Chaltén
Thought maybe I should call this post “W trek”, which is what this part of O circuit is better known as. However, I decided to be boring and go with “Part 2”, which turned out to be a very different experience from what I wrote about in my previous post. Day 5 – Paso to … More Torres Del Paine – O circuit – Part 2
I remember the day I decided on doing this trek. It wasn’t a special day, just one of those dark rainy days in January, but I remember telling a co-worker I wanted to go to Patagonia. That was the point when it all became real and I promised myself that a year later I would … More Torres Del Paine – O Circuit – Part 1
For me, Ella is one of those happy places that when you discover them you know you were meant to arrive there sooner or later. Perhaps the previous sentence sounds a bit vague, but I just felt so at peace and happy there that it’s hard to even describe the feeling. I didn’t have too … More Ella
Feel almost bad saying this, but I couldn’t wait to leave Kandy. It’s not because I didn’t like Kandy, but I just couldn’t wait to get up Adam’s Peak. Whenever I’m going on holiday and have some hiking planned for the part of it, I have very itchy feet until all hiking is out of … More Adam’s Peak
When I heard about Mount Batur it wasn’t even a question whether we were going up there or not, I always wanted to have breakfast on an active volcano! Let’s start from the beginning. We left Ubud in the morning and headed up north. The ride was absolutely fantastic – it wasn’t very long and … More Mount Batur
Two hours after I landed in Iceland I was swimming in the Blue Lagoon not able to believe how amazing the place was. I never imagined that anything like that existed in real life.OK I’ve seen the photos before, but it still felt so surreal to be there. Swimming outdoors in -5C and not feeling … More Adventures in Iceland
It’s been so long since I came back from Nepal that the whole journey now almost feels surreal, but a little scar on my wrist will always remind me that the trip really happened. Trekking was not on my to do list before I left for Nepal. I didn’t have too much time and the … More Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek in Himalayas
When I told some of my friends I was going to do some hiking in Mallorca almost every single one of them looked at me strangely, some of them asked if it is possible to go hiking there in the first place, some of them thought that was the new way to call “drinking” and … More Hiking in Mallorca
I feel like I’m repeating myself, but I’ll say it: Scotland always surprises me! Especially when I get lucky with the weather. Last summer my parents came for my graduation and I decided that I had to take them somewhere else in Scotland, so they wouldn’t just spend an entire week in Edinburgh. I’ve heard a … More Cairngorms National Park
