Our time in Colombia has ended. We had a blast. We’ve been backpacking for a month, enjoying this beautiful interior, and then we ended up in Cartagena for unplanned upgrades, renovations, new friends, and a new crew member
We’ve been silent for a while. Reason is heartbreaking… What is the hardest part of cruiser’s life? We’ve been asked this question quite a lot. People think it’s hurricanes, pirates, sharks, living together in the small area, homeschooling… none of it. It is the saddest news from family back in Europe. Recently, we lost our…
Colombia 🇨🇴: This is just another curiosity from the strange city of Pasto, which we liked and it surprised us in many ways.

Luckily we didn’t have any problems, but we were facing unwanted quarantines, PCR tests, and we were never sure if we would get where we wanted. Very uncomfortable. I guess we…

We made it! We finally have left Martinique. It took us only… a year! Very strange feeling, very strange… especially now that I look at it from another island, just 250 Nm away. It was so easy to leave, yet so hard! It’s like our friend Andrew said: “This (Martinique) is the best place to…
