Right now, I’m sat here in London, huddled in blankets by the radiator, dreaming of being back in South America!
...
Oh Lake Titicaca, what a mystical magical beauty you are!
...
For those of you heading this way soon, my top tip is to plant yourself on the Bolivian side of this huge, high body of water, using the town of Copacabana as your base to explore the island lakes of Isla Del Sol and Isla De La Luna.
...
At almost 4000m above sea level, this lake and its islands really are up in the sky, so their translated names of Island of the Sun and Island of the Moon are definitely pretty fitting! ...
The stuff of aerial dreams indeed!

When I think back to my travels last year, over 10

When I think back to my travels last year, over 10 months on the road solo, it’s probably Argentina that was the biggest bucket list tick for me.
...
A country I’ve wanted to visit for so long, where many friends come from and filled with so much to see, do, hike, eat, drink and explore, it was nothing short of amazing to finally get there.
...
And the unexplored region of Salta was perhaps my biggest surprise in this country. Desert + winelands... now that’s a hard combination to top! ...
What’s been your biggest travel surprise?

Did I tell you about the time I narrowly avoided a

Did I tell you about the time I narrowly avoided a military coup in Bolivia?
...
Maybe it will have to wait until next year, because I’m sure you’re as busy with the festive fluster as me right now!
...
Anyway, thankfully I did manage to make a quick dash to the incredible Uyuni salt flats in the south of Bolivia (before promptly fleeing over the border to Argentina) and it was worth every risky second!
...
So here’s to some more crazy adventures in 2020 and thank you all for joining me on the journey so far, it’s been a blast!
...
Wishing you all a happy, healthy holiday season.
Steph :)

Loved my time chilling in the magnificence of Peru’s Sacred Valley at the superb Wolf Totem Pisac Guesthouse in Pisac.
...
Stronghold of Inca ruins, traditional culture and, of course because this is Peru, incredible views, I’d planned to come for 3 days, but blatantly stayed much longer... I mean, come on, this hostel has a sauna and a yoga deck!

Yup I’m billing Choquequirao as the perfect, off the beaten track, budget alternative to Machu Picchu. ... It leaves from Cusco, has way less tourists and costs a fraction of the Inca Trail... even less if you do it unguided, which you can. ... It’s tough, steep, rough, relentless and at altitude, but boy is it worth it! ... Full guide on how you can experience this amazing place came out on the blog today. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Check it here: https://www.bigworldsmallpockets.com/choquequirao-trek/$

A hidden part of Peru few get to see, La Reserva de Salinas y Aguada Blanca (the National Salt Lake and White Water Reserve) is not far from both Arequipa and the Colca Canyon... but I saw no other tourists there. Like none at all! Only vastness and beauty.
...
Just another part of the amazing, alternative tour I got to enjoy in this part of Peru. Budget-friendly and crowd-free, it was def one of my highlights in this country 💫 ...

Hot springs and sunshine?
Yes please Peru!
...
...
If you’ve heard about the Colca Canyon - one of the world’s deepest canyons FYI! - it’s likely that you know it only as a 2 day hiking trip from Arequipa. ...
...
But such a trip just doesn’t do the cultural authenticity and dramatic beauty of this landscape justice. There’s honestly so much more to see and experience here.
...
...
My advice? Come for longer, stay in a local village (Yanque is my pick) and experience all those off the beaten track gems most miss!
You won’t want to leave... promise!

And I might add that to travel in Peru is like crossing the whole world in a week! From snow to sand, it’s about as diverse and magnificent as it gets out here.
...
...
No wonder I’ve been kept so busy and away from Instagram for so long! Sorry not sorry?!
