Chasing penguins at the end of the world

Travelling, exploring new cultures and new places, discovering parts of this planet that you didn’t even know they existed before and constantly expanding the knowledge that you have of the world. These are just some of the reasons that pushed us further every day during this year. And it seems that these motives have pushed […]

Trekking the Legendary Torres del Paine

  A legend always needs some specific elements: one or several heroes, an environment who’s against them, a glorious battle and a final victory for the hero. So when we were put in front of a truly legendary trek for a truly legendary mountain, we ought to write our own legend… it goes like this: […]

Fitz Roy & Cerro Torre – the most beautiful mountains in the world

It’s not always easy to make a top of the most beautiful things we’ve seen. If we compare the physical characteristics (altitude, size, depth …) the order comes naturally: the highest mountain/volcano/waterfall, the longest river, the largest cave/lake… But what happens when we have to choose the one we liked the most?

And that’s exactly what she did surpassing even my craziest expectations (I’m still asking “when was she able to do it, because we spend […]

The spirit of Bali

Close your eyes! Are they closed?… Of course not, if not, you would not be reading these lines right now! Imagine a place where time has no importance. Imagine a place where humid heat meets all the colors of the rainbow, where lush vegetation makes room for paradise like resorts, where every “Hello” is accompanied by […]

Ubud – the heart of Bali

In Ubud, the art capital of Bali situated in the middle of the island we chose to stay in a traditional Balinese family compound (where several generations of the same family live together in different heavily decorated houses grouped around a family temple). We enjoyed feeding and playing with the monkeys in Ubud’s Monkey Forest, […]
