our first ever glacier ICE TREK!!! And I successfully survived without slipping over so all things considered, I’d say this was a success!! ❄️🥾🏞️ • 📍Perito Moreno Glacier, Patagonia, Argentina 🇦🇷 • #argentina #peritomoreno #glacierhike #glacier #patagonia #travel #trending #explore #backpacking #explorepage #travelreel #trendingaudio #reeloftheday #backpacker #icetrek

new lockscreen unlocked🩵🏞️🥾 • 25km later and I think we’ve just about recovered but the laguna de los tres hike might just be the prettiest one we’ve ever done anywhere in the world, this was SUCH a good start to our time here in Argentina, I’m already in love 🤩❄️ @imheretravels [gifted] • #argentina #patagonia #lagunadelostres #backpacking #southamerica #travel #trending #explore #hike l #patagoniaargentina #explorepage #backpacker #travel @visitargentina

I didn’t know the Peruvian desert was on my bucket list (I actually didn’t even know Peru had a desert🫣) until I arrived here but this evening has quickly become a highlight of our entire trip 🤩🏜️🌵💛 • #peru #huacachina #huacachinaoasis #peruhop #travel #travelling #backpacking #southamerica #desert #peruviandesert #explorepage #explore #backpacker

highlights from week one in peru… 🇵🇪🏞️🦙🛖🌈 from quad biking up the famous rainbow mountain [a gifted activity that we organised with @getyourguide 🧡] & hiking the very top bit which stands at over 5000m above sea level (which isn’t far off the altitude of Everest base camp we found out afterwards!! makes me feel better about suffering with crazy altitude sickness this entire week) to sailing on the highest lake in the world at Lake Titicaca in Puno and visiting the communities that live on the islands here, to visiting Arequipa’s old town & it’s beautiful Colca Canyon. All of this (and so much more) to come in the vlog going up tonight on @youtube at 6pm! 🥳🎥 But do not be fooled, this week was not without its challenges, actually it was probably the most challenging travel week we’ve ever had as we were both super unwell before we arrived in Peru, and that combined with the altitude, which I definitely underestimated, combined again with the two overnight buses we had to take to get between these places, it was NOT the smoothest sailing and I’ve maybe never been more tired - but that’s a reality of backpacking for you!🤣🇵🇪 @getyourguidecommunity [ad gifted] • #getyourguide #getyourguidecommunity #peru #backpacking #backpacker #travel #southamerica #cusco #rainbowmountain #puno #laketiticaca #arequipa #colcacanyon #vlog #vlogger #explorepage #trending

I just LOVE this trend!! 🥹 I’d mainly wanna tell her to be kinder to herself, those years in your hometown don’t have to define you. I know she’d think older me was pretty cool, and I feel proud of both of us. Being 16/17 was both the hardest and the most fundamental age I’ve ever been, so much of who I am now was built on the decisions I did (and didn’t) make back then, and it seems so much clearer looking at it from 8 (🤢🥴) years on, but truly, if you’re feeling more like the first person, or maybe you’re only 16 or 17 yourself reading this: everything does get a little easier💛✨ • #youngerme #trending #explore #travelreel #explorepage #trendingaudio #backpacking #reeloftheday #reel

⬇️ one to save if you’re planning your own Costa Rica & Colombia route!! 🇨🇷🇨🇴🙏 • We knew we only really had about 3 weeks to split across these two countries because of the rest of our itinerary, so this is how we split out time, and honestly for us, this felt perfect! If I was going to change anything I’d maybe lose a night in San José and add it on to Santa Teresa just because I loved the laid back-beach vibes here! Otherwise though, this felt a good amount of time in each location while moving pretty quickly but still seeing everything we wanted to! 💛🏝️🗺️ • In terms of actual travel, we used internal buses & private transfers within Costa Rica, and local buses and then internal flights within Colombia (partly to save time, partly because the internal flights were very cheap and saved on an overnight bus which I’d heard sketchier things about) - all of the above was super easy to organise & we didn’t book any of it ahead of time other than the flights in Colombia! I’m writing two travel guides to add to my website for both of these countries so if you do wanna know more, they’ll be up there (eventually) 📖🚎✈️🌎 • #costarica #colombia #backpacking #southamerica #backpacker #travel #budgettravel #trending #trendingaudio #travelcouple #sanjose #lafortuna #monteverde #santateresa #cartagena #santamarta #salento #cocoravalley #medellin #explore

my main takeaway from our time in Colombia is that: people’s stereotypes of this country are mainly wrong!! You think of ‘hostel’ and you think of ‘Colombia’ but actually, these have been some of the best we’ve ever stayed in 🙏🇨🇴💛 (ps. the outtakes of the beginning of this reel are hilarious, I’ll post them to my story but credit to Tom for always being a good sport hahahaa) @t6mbrown • #hostel #travelling #backpacker #backpacking #colombia #travelreel #trendingreels #trending #trendingaudio #southamerica #explorepage #hostels #selinahostel #socialtel #cartagena #salento #medellin #minca
