I spent a few weeks travelling through Central America this summer. I came back with a camera roll big enough to be worrisome, memories I will cherish for the rest of my life and too many new friends to count. Here are just a few of the things I did:
Continued my project of photographing myself in dress I take all around the world. This time, I twirled on black sands where the tides fight each other under the looming volcano of Ometepe island in Nicaragua.
I hiked. A lot, in every country. I don’t think I’ve ever sweat that much before but it was so worth the views, every time.
I got to visit intricate Mayan ruins in Hondouras and see the cities that inspired one of my favourite animated films, El Dorado.
I boarded down an active volcano in Nicaragua. I got so much rock and soot in my mouth, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Our guide also gave us a salsa lesson at the summit 💃
I went horse back riding in the hill of Costa Rica and got to relive my childhood dreams of being an equestrian.
I relaxed in natural hot springs in Honduras, heated by volcanic activity in rivers that get up to 90 degrees Celsius. Yes you read that right, no I didn’t dip my toe. The spa was built around the spring, cleverly using a flowing system that cools the pools the further down the mountain you go.
I went surfing in El Salvador. Okay, I tried to, but I didn’t die, so I’ll take the win. I will say, impressed with myself because they threw us into real waves hundred of feet off shore. No baby waves or hand holding here.
I went zip-lining through the rain forest on the longest lines in Latin America.
