Horse power and PVC: visiting the Mennonites
It feels like time travelling when visiting Springfield. But we’ve learned so much about the different groups of Mennonites: those with horse and water power, and those with big tractors and shops.
Prehispanic Civilisations: the Mayas in Guatemala
We finally arrived in the Land of the Mayas and we directly end up in the middle of a ceremony.
El Salvador: between security and state of emergency
Some said it is very dangerous, others that it is the safest country in Latin America. Here comes our experience.
Where bibles are hidden and trees are made of metal
The regime’s paranoia can be seen in the entire country: from strict border rules to metal structures called “trees of life”. A country full of contradictions.
Nicaragua – the dreaded border
The Nicaraguan border is dreaded by most travellers, but it looks like we were very lucky. A fast crossing into the country and then we go off to explore it at the slow speed of 50 km/h.
An incredible year!
A full year on the road with so many adventures. It’s time to look back and to appreaciate everything we’ve seen and lived. We hope 2026 continues the same way!
Mould, mould, mould and the constant search for spare parts!
Isn’t travelling wonderful? Every day is an adventure. It’s especially wonderful when mould is lurking around every corner and spare parts never make it to the local shops. Thank goodness for friends who play the role of both mule and saviour. It’s time to complain a little about cleaning.
Looking for gold in Venezuela
Travelling through Venezuela also means discovering another world. In the south of the country, we see how politics, tension and money determine people’s lives. And we find gold.
Between thrills and warmth
We were nervous about entering the country, but what awaited us on the other side was more than we had hoped for. Our first days in Venezuela, a journey into the unexpected.
South America – what is dangerous?
We have visited almost every country in South America – and the ones that everyone warned us about were the ones we liked best. Here’s a reflection on what safety can be.
