If you ever find yourself in Zambia, in a small town called Livingstone, you’re probably there because of the world famous falls. Victoria Falls stretches along for 2km and can be visited from both Zimbabwe and Zambia sides. The waterfall was named after Queen Victoria by Scottish explorer David Livingstone.

It won’t be long until someone in your hotel will ask you if you already have, or if you’re planning on going swimming in Devils Pool. (more…)

‘Rio Dulce is a must visit in Guatemala’- I was told by many travellers. So here I am, last night in my dorm on a water, typing out my disappointment.
Honestly, wouldn’t put it on my must see places list. The only reason I ended up here is to use it as a connection point to either Belize or Honduras, at the point of arrival was still undecided. First night spent at Bruno’s was in correct words awful. Not mentioning flying cockroaches, dorm building was just next to the massive bridge, where at least dozen of trucks pass every hour, 24/7. It feels like helicopters circling outside your window and some kind of war happening at the same time. Even my super-duper earplugs were not able to isolate all of the madness. To make things worse, power was lost around 6am turning off all the fans and water. Vuolia, don’t forget this cost us 50Q for a dorm bed.
Let me make this story more Disney World like, with a happy ending. (more…)
