Emily's Jericoacoara hotel round-up
I have just returned from a wonderful trip with my sister along the so-called Route of Emotions, between São Luis and Fortaleza, in northern Brazil.

Lizzy heads off the beaten track in Costa Rica
I was excited to be seeing some of the lesser-visited areas of the country on this, my fourth trip to Costa Rica.

Nikki heads off the beaten track in Argentina
I was very excited to be able to do a road trip around the Iberá wetlands of north-east Argentina recently, having never spent time in this area before. With a love of nature, of the unknown and of discovering new, out of the way places, this was the perfect trip for me. Covering more than 1.3 milli... Read more»
Hannah explores Costa Rica and Panama
As an adventure-seeker and outdoor enthusiast, Costa Rica has long been on my list of places to explore so when the opportunity arose to visit in April, I jumped at the chance.
