None of us really knew how long this border crossing would take and were preparing ourselves for a long day – last time I was here … More The One Where I Went Back to Costa Rica
We landed in Santa Marta just in time to see a beautiful sunset over the sea… a perfect way to kick off this Caribbean coast adventure. In the taxi on the way to the centre of town, we quickly realised that Santa Marta wasn’t quite the cute little beach town we’d been expecting and was … More The One On The Caribbean Coast
So we were supposed to stay in Montañita for 2 nights. It’s now 6 days later and we’re still here. Whoops. But if you were sat here, where I am right now, in a beautiful hostel, surrounded by good people (and don’t forget the donkeys), looking out at the beach and waves, you wouldn’t want … More The One Where We Didn’t Want To Leave Montañita
We touched down in Guayaquil, Ecuador at 10 o’clock at night, and it was super surreal. I couldn’t quite get my bearings, nor believe that we were actually in South America.

After my epic trip to … More The one where I account for the last year of my life

Well, you get the most epic road trip ever, that’s what, covering 726 miles of the beautiful state of Colorado, cruising through National Parks, up and down mountains and alongside rivers. I am … More Road Tripping Colorado
Every morning, at about 7:45am, this is my view. The skies recently have been INSANE. No joke, it literally looks like this every single day, and it reminds me that London is a pretty freaking awesome place to live. So for all my travelling around the world, all the sunsets, sunrises, cities and beaches I’ve … More Photo of the Week: London Skies

If you follow me on social media, you’ll know that I just spent 5 weeks exploring Costa Rica and Panama, and loved every single minute of it.

Written by Charly Avern This week we visited the gorgeous beach town of Montezuma, Costa Rica. In the strictest sense it is barely a town; it comprises of a corner of road surrounded by a few cafes, hotels and a convenience store. Hammocks hang on hotel balconies, the locals are some of the friendliest people … More Is There Such Thing As An Unspoilt Beach?
