Monday was a great day to visit the 15th-century Inca citadel that has countless numbers of foreigners visiting Peru for. We knew we would be going to Machu Picchu since the inception of this trip and after 420 days on the road, we made it. Yes, it is heavy on the tourist traffic; however, it […]
Riding into Lima was, quite possibly, our most stressful arrival upon a city on this trip so far. I have ranted about Peruvian drivers being certifiably insane and Lima, being the capital city, seems to be a cesspool of the worst drivers imaginable. Not only did it seem like everyone on the road was trying […]
We have a new video up on our YouTube channel of our time travelling through the Central American countries of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Enjoy, subscribe, and share! 🙂
Before delving into our favourite places in Central America, I would like to call attention to the fact (as obvious as it may be) that everyone travels differently. Phil and I enjoy exploring cities, meeting different types of people (preferably those without psychopathic traits), learning about the history and culture of the place we are […]

After the visit to the Starbucks farm, our following few days were uneventful and spent mostly working with a break to go see the new Tomb Raider movie at the cinema. We decided to pay a visit to the old capital of Costa Rica, Cartago, on Tuesday, March 27. The ride from the new capital […]

On Friday morning, we left San Ignacio and headed to the Guatemalan border with team Notier’s Frontiers. The crossing was fast and easy for team Riding Around the World as we had made photocopies of all our documents beforehand. I had actually copied the wrong page of Phil’s International driver’s license (oops!), but the border […]
After a couple of days of doing nothing spectacular, we decided to do a day trip to Tulum on Tuesday, December 19. It is under an hour’s ride away from Playa del Carmen and is comprised of three areas: the ruins, the city, and the beach. We started our day with a visit to the ruins […]
On the morning of Saturday, October 7, we headed to Teotihuacán with our new friend and fellow Canadian biker, Simon, to see the pyramids. The origin of the city’s founders is uncertain; however, what is known is that the area was a large urban center around 1,000 years before the Aztecs, and the city was already […]
