Someday Sherpa shares the stories of a girl and her Sherpa taking a big kid gap year to travel through Mexico, Central and South America.
It took me a long time to be able to say Nicaragua. Don't ask me why - it's just one of those words I continued to stumble on.
Today marks three months on the road and it happens to coincide with Thanks Giving.
My #bigkidgapyear at looks dramatically different to my gap year at 18 - some more embarrassing than others.
Thanks to a crazy Aussie, volcano boarding was born in Leon, Nicaragua and is a must do if you're in town.
A little bit gritty with a host of natural attractions, El Salvador opitimises everything we thought Central America would be. Plus, it’s full of spirit, kindness and surprises.
Welcome to Sherpa (me) hitting a big dream goal, we visit Land of Lord of Rings.
Guatemala - what an unexpected surprise. Lush jungles, active volcanos, lakes to linger by, Mayan Ruins and quaint yet contemporary towns.
Antigua will captivate you. The historic, Spanish inspired town is a delightful contradiction where the Mayan traditions and simple life compete with a bustling cosmopolitan vibe.
Stepping into Chichicastenango markets, with the moniker of 'Central America's largest market' is a true assault on the senses.
Regarded as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, Lake Atitlan will not disappoint. Prepare for sunrises and sunsets that will render you speechless.
One of the questions I keep getting asked is 'do you still feel like you're on holiday?' Absolutely I do.
There's something new on the scene. It's a difference I'm noticing from my previous, more youthful backpacking trips - napping.
So thanks mum. Thanks a lot. What a perfectly planned bum-steer.
Apologies for not writing you sooner, have been very busy with Lisa's (Lady Client remember) travel needs.
There is only one thing that can make you feel smaller than a mountain, and that's a volcano, or three.
Some places are special. So special that you think the universe is putting on a special show, just for you.
I’ve been looking forward to my 35th birthday for a while now. Knowing it was to be spent somewhere in Central America with best friends (Lisa, Rhod and Beth) and adventures makes for a unique experience not soon to be forgotten. How right I was!
Flores makes a beautiful first impression and is a perfect first stop in Guatemala.
