The Iguazu Falls in South America may be some of the most spectacular falls you will see in South America. They are so vast and incredible, that the span across two countries; Brazil and Argentina. I spent a whole day exploring the falls on the Brazil side, which was easy to do independently, as well as a not so eco, eco adventure. However, the explorer in me...
“One way to get the most out of life, is to look upon it as an Adventure – William Feather”. This is the statement that I base my life on. In fact, anything that sounds like an adventure, and I am on it. So when I was told of an ‘Eco-Adventure’ I could do whilst exploring the Iguacu Falls in Brazil; I was sold on it. The Eco Adventure in...
There is something rather exciting about getting to cross a land border on foot; it feels like a massive step to take from one country to another, were in reality it is really not.

In most places, you’ll get a menu, choose something that sounds nice, and it’ll be served to you. When travelling in countries were English is not the primary language, this can be a little challenging. In the...
The hipster movement is literally taking over the World. It is a contemporary subculture that is continually evolving. It may be slightly different in various parts of the World, but is generally associated with the arty, and trendy types. If you live in London, Shoreditch is were you’ll gravitate to as a hipster, and for New York, it is all about Williamsburg...
When you think about large cities, places like New York, or London will often come to mind.
