Intrepid trip

There are some things people generally assume about Belize. They assume it’s sunny, that the vibes are always good, and that the ceviche is the best ceviche ever. Take it from me, all of the above applies, but tenfold in Caye Caulker.

Little did I know that there was a whole Caribbean coastline to explore and on this particular itinerary, my perceptions would change after spending a couple of nights in the laid-back beach town of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca.

After exploring the area on my Highlights of Italy tour, I left with memories of one of the most fulfilling 48-hours full of food, sunshine and challenging hikes.

From island hopping in the Caribbean’s Bocas del Toro to watching an enormous passenger ship pass through the iconic canal, there is so much diversity offered in the land (and seas) of this country.

Rainforests. Beaches. Ruins. Temples. Tea. Surf. Trains. So many reasons to visit the idyllic island nation of Sri Lanka.

It was only after a breakup that I decided to pack my bags and head south from the concrete jungle of New York to the rainforests of Costa Rica.

For most travelers, myself included, it’s the highlight of visiting Peru. This ancient Wonder of the World exceeded all my expectations, mostly because I got to do and see everything I’d hoped.

I had been travelling in Indonesia on my own for two months before I joined the Intrepid tour, and to put it frankly, I was starving for quality human interaction. So the next day when my smiling roommate walked into the room, I was practically bursting with things to say to her!

Just a little while back, I got to be a part of Intrepid’s Delhi to Kathmandu tour. This is a trip that offers you the opportunity to wave goodbye to your comfort zone, while linking arms with your fellow participants, and an incredible tour leader.
