In 2014 my best friend and I decided to head out for the trip of a lifetime to live the dream. At first, our aim was to leave 8 months and to go around all of South-America. Because of my university semester, we ended up leaving 4 months and a half; not as long as initially planned but we still managed to go all around the continent at a pace where we felt we...
Bolivia might be small compared to other countries surrounding it, but fact remains there is are a lot of things to do in Bolivia. It is hard to explore the country in less than a month and trying to do so will force backpackers to make difficult choices. In only 2 weeks it is impossible to fit The Must-see of Bolivia: Salar de uyuni Amazonian Forest La Paz Lago...
When ever I saw a dynamic scene while traveling, and had a few minutes ahead of me, I would prepare my GoPro for a timelapse. Timelapse are fantastic and watching events unfold quickly afterwards is awesome! So here is my best time-lapse compilation made with a GoPro hero 3+. The GoPro doesn’t do very well in low luminosity, so sunny days are really the times...
I love to do time-lapse, it is one of those moments where you decide you like a place much that you will sit down and relax while your camera shoots for 5-10-15-25 minutes. You just sit there and watch the events unfold before your eyes; the subtle changes in colors, the barely perceptible movements of clouds, the actions slowly unfolding around you. Those...

On my end, it was more like a game and a way to do incredible things thanks to good financial spending comprehension. Here is all the information you need to know about my trip. We made our...

Bogota is a huge city. From the top of Montserrat, an altitude of 3200 meters, you can observe part of the 8 million habitants populating the valley. Gigantic cities are usually complicated to visit but luckily everything is grouped up within a few kilometers of each other in Bogota. Pretty much, it can all be visited by walking through the colourful streets from one...
On this trip so far Medellin is the city that has surprised me the most. Most people who hear about Colombia you usually think about: murder, kidnapping, cocaine, the FARCs and all kind of negative ideas. I somewhat used to have the same idea before coming here and I thought that I was pretty brave to travel to this country and even more courageous to go the Medellin...
Bogota has temperatures in the low 20’s Celsius walking is very tolerable and the city is in high altitude so it is usually cloudy. Sometimes while walking a small fog will surround you accompanied by delicate raindrops that are refreshing. That fog is in fact the inside of the cloud coming down from Montserrat. So temperature wise: perfect. On Sunday almost...
