Travel Day 011 – Lima to Quito, ECUADOR It was an Active Travel Day again and I was leaving Peru already behind and heading for Quito in Ecuador… When I booked my Round the World Ticket, I chose Lima as the main hub to fly in and out of, because most connections went through Lima […]
Travel Day 010 – Barranco, Lima, PERU After spending most of the day in Miraflores yesterday, it was about time today to explore this lovely looking place called Barranco a little bit… My first walk of the day took me along the main street that once seemed to have had a trolley running on it, […]
Travel Day 009 – Barranco and Miraflores, PERU Even if I arrived already yesterday evening, today was my first full Arrival Day in Barraco, in Peru and in South America… After a good night of sleep and some nice breakfast in the hostel, the world looked very different again. Also the fact that I got to […]
Travel Day 008 – Miami to Lima, PERU I felt terrible again. When I got up after two hours of sleep, I had to realize that going out late and drinking a lot wasn’t the best idea after all. So instead of enjoying the beginning of my Round the World Trip, I was completely wasted […]
Travel Day 007 – San Juan to Miami, USA Due to Hurricane Erika I had extended my stay in Puerto Rico, but today I was finally leaving for Miami. The flight back to the US made this not only an Active Travel Day, but also the day where I finally reached the starting point of […]
Travel Day 006 – San Juan, PUERTO RICO Initially I was supposed to leave for Miami today, but because of a Hurricane threat named Erika, I decided to stay one more day and try to figure out how to pack and travel light with my backpack… When I had left my apartment in Boston, I ended […]
Travel Day 004 – Old San Juan, PUERTO RICO After the great day in Old San Juan yesterday, I just had to come back again in the morning and see more of this amazing UNESCO World Heritage Site… Actually, as I found out online, the entire old town with its surrounding walls, its bastions, its powder […]
Travel Day 003 – Old San Juan, PUERTO RICO If the beaches had initially lured me into coming to Puerto Rico, colonial Old San Juan turned out to be a historic gem that was well worth a trip on its own… My day started off quite relaxed as I had decided to spend all morning at […]
Travel Day 002 – San Juan, PUERTO RICO Finally the world looked sunny again on my very first day of Travel Daycation. After a great night of sleep in my nice hotel room and a good breakfast, most of my worries were gone and I felt a great relief from the last really stressful weeks… It […]
Travel Day 002 – Boston to San Juan, PUERTO RICO I felt terrible. I hadn’t slept all night, my backpack was way too heavy and I seemed not properly prepared to leave home and my old life to travel around the world… Obviously I was prepared as best as I could be, considering that I never travelled for […]
Travel Day 001 – Boston, USA Today felt easily like the worst day of my life. It was not only the last day of life as usual, but also the very first day of my new life since I was already living with my backpack… Yesterday I had put everything that I owned into storage […]
