Baja California Sur La Paz: Your Gateway to Baja

2021-05-08T04:09:09+07:00

When you think of Baja California Sur, the all-inclusive resorts of Cabo and the spring breaker festivities of San Lucas may come to mind.

But there’s a lesser-known gem just two hours north of Cabo that is absolutely worth checking out: La Paz.

If you’re already going through Baja, rent a car on the cheap and dedicate a long weekend exploring all that La Paz and its picturesque surrounding regions have to offer. If you’re still in the trip-planning phase, consider flying into Manuel Márquez de León International Airport—colloquially known to gringos as La Paz Airport. Just be sure you’re going to […]

La Ventana: The Ultimate Kiteboarding Destination

2021-05-08T05:51:02+07:00

Ever since I first learned about the sport while traveling in Cape Town – and witnessing Red Bull’s King of the Air competition – I had long wanted to pick up kiteboarding. Throughout my travels, I took a lesson here and there, but was always told it was one of those sports you needed to stick with and do consistently to properly pick it up.

After I wrapped up my yearlong journey, leading a Remote Year group of digital nomads around the world, I decided to take some time for myself before returning to American society and do some solo […]

2019-12-27T12:22:41+07:00

With its cobblestone streets, colonial buildings, and colorful houses, Cartagena in Colombia is known as one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in South America. It’s worth a visit even if it’s just a stopover for a day – though I’d highly recommend staying longer! But if you do only have one day in this great city…here’s how to make the most of it.

Why Huacachina Is a Must-See on Your Next Trip to Peru

2019-12-11T05:41:51+07:00

Between the sprawling sand dunes with endless options for adrenaline-fueled activities like sand-boarding, entrusting your life to one of Huacachina’s wild dune buggy drivers, and pretending like you’re a part of the cast of Mad Max, Huacachina was a top highlight of our month in Peru.

About 273 km / 181 miles south of Lima, Huacachina is a super cute village in Ica, Peru built around a gorgeous oasis, with the backdrop of some of the world’s best sand dunes. Besides getting fire Instagram photos and playing in the sand, you can also take a boat ride on the lagoon. (I […]
