French Polynesian diaries

Maybe around 6 weeks all around French Polynesia was quite the adventure. So to put the experience in few paragraphs here is how it all more or less went down.
Arriving to Marquesas Island of Fatu Hiva having just suffered some set backs with health was quite the experience. Amazing landscape and friendly people all around. [...]

Pavement story – adios Americas!

I’m off. So the idea is to sail to the Pacific and see what happens. With Nina and Flo I’ll get to Marques islands in French Polynesia. After a stop at the Galapagos it will be a month of sailing before seing land. From Marques I have to find another boat to hopefully go further [...]

Hiking up volcano Tajumulco, the highest peak in Central America

The hills of the mountain were a sad sight. Locals had destroyed almost entirely the dense forest that once covered the whole mountain.
