After negotiating check in and security at San Pedro Sula (which involved an empty check in desk with a pile of lonely rucksacks left sitting behind it, finding someone who would return from their siesta to open the check in desk thirty minutes before take off, and then having my mosquito repellent taken off me as it could be a dangerous it…
Hi folks,
I'm planning on keeping a journal of all my adventures when I set off to South America, so thought I would keep a bit of a blog too to keep a record of where I am and what I'm up to. Despite my day to day Homer like memory (one thought in pushes an old one out...) my memories of past travels are some of the sharpest and most vibrant I have, and a smell, a taste or a colour can take me back to far flung places in an instant.

I'm planning on keeping a journal of all my adventures when I set off to South America, so thought I would keep a bit of a blog too to keep a record of where I am and what I'm up to. Despite my day to day Homer like memory (one thought in pushes an old one out...) my memories of past travels are some of the sharpest and most vibrant I have, and a smell, a taste or a colour can take me back to far flung places in an instant. I love to write, so plan on indulging myself with my travel tales so I can look back in my grand old age (if I survive the obscene number of flights I'm going to have to get on) and think, yes, I did that. So I make no apology for boring you senseless, as I've decided that this adventure is all about me, and I'm going to do it my way!
So either stop reading now, or enjoy...! I intend to.

After two months of being inland in the mountains, forest, cities and the jungle, I´m finally at the coast, and absolutely loving it. Despite being from the land-locked midlands, it feels lik…
I am pleased to report that I have survived a week in the jungle. Despite previous romantic notions of being the next female machete wielding Indiana Jones, I have reluctantly decided that I a…
I´ve been in Ecuador since the beginning of May, and have had another action packed couple of weeks. Landing in Quito was interesting, as it looked like we were going to take out a few of t…

hi rach
wow - your trip sounds amazing! how long are you travelling for? It all sounds to be a very rich cultural experience and your blog is so descriptive - I almost imagined I was there! My blog is not half as riveting I'm afraid...much more mundane!! I wish I had your descriptive writing skills! Keep having fun ! Emma
