Holbox Island – Quintana Roo’s Unspoiled Escape (Photos)

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Who needs Netflix and chill when you can hammock and chill? Two nets draped mid ocean offer just that: a hammock nap in the sea, party of “we.” Holbox Island is one of Quintana Roo’s best kept secrets. While international tourists flock to Cancun and Playa del Carmen and back-packers make Tulum their own, Holbox Island is for those seeking to escape the crowds.

 

So where do you go to be undisturbed? Where do you go when you want to do nothing? Holbox Island.

Staying at the Villas Paraiso Del Mar, Holbox Hotel

Mingle with the local culture.

The local walls are adorned with murals from artists around the world. There’s only one bar and dance cub. The food trucks smell of rich food and an entrepreneurial spirit.  I can’t put it into words. Check out my Snapchat video for just a little taste of a day in Holbox…

La Chureca: Living In Garbage

Image
Toxic Fumes at La Chureca Landfill Near Lake Managua Managua, Nicaragua La Chureca is the largest garbage dump in Central America. It’s located on the outskirts of Managua, the capital city of Nicaragua and covers over 4 square miles (7 sq. km). One thousand people live & work on the “City of Trash” every day. Getting here was not easy, and traipsing through burning, rotting garbage wasn’t exactly a picnic either. But the hardest part of all was bearing witness to the way of life these people have to live. They are called Churequeros . Their homes are made of trash. They scavenge through the garbage for food. Every day they search for scraps of plastic, cans, and glass to sell for recycling.

Most start working long hours in the landfill every day with the rest of the family. The peo...

An eco-break at Piran Meadows, Darwin Escapes: REVIEW

Image
I’m what you may call a ‘holiday intruder’. If any family members or friends announce that they’re going away; I’ll try my best to ensure that I can go with them. So apologies if you know me and you’ve planned a cool trip that you don’t really want me to come on… I’ll probably find a way to be there I’m afraid. It’s just what I do. So, when my dad told me he was planning a week in Cornwall with my gran and great aunt, I immediately booked three days off work and decided to visit for half a week. (Which I think they were pleased about…) We got an amazing deal at Piran Meadows Resort and Spa; just £250 for a week’s stay in a luxury three-bedroom caravan. It’s the kind of place that obviously comes alive in the school holidays, with lots of kids’ activities and sun lounging opportunities! But there’s plenty to enjoy out of season too. The scenery around is absolutely breath-taking and there’s lots of activities and adventures to be had in Cornwall. The caravan park is kitted out wi...
