Another incredible day in the Sacred Valley! Today, we ventured to three stunning sites that showcased the ingenuity of the Incas. We began with the salt mines of Maras, an otherworldly landscape of thousands of salt pools glistening in the sun. The sight was mesmerizing, and learning about […]

Today was the day we had been waiting for—our visit to the legendary Machu Picchu! The morning started with a scenic Vistadome train ride from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes. The journey itself was magical, with panoramic views of the Urubamba River, lush valleys, and towering peaks. Upon arrival, […]

So then it’s time. In a week’s time, we’ll be on a plane to a whole new continent. SOUTH AMERICA. This trip wasn’t really planned but we’re so excited! We will experience both Machu Picchu and Galapagos for about two weeks. That’s what happens when you’re bored during […]

After exploring Nairobi for a couple of days, it’s time for the Safari tour. Nairobi is an interesting city where we took a tour of the slums and met the people who live there, what a contrast. It is unusual as a Swede to take a taxi everywhere. […]
