As this site is not just a resource for other travelers but also my own personal travel diary, I like to take some time to […]

Just because I was too much of a wuss to make it to the summit of Rinjani doesn’t mean you all should be denied the stunning views. Anders, being the mountain man that he is, practically sprinted to the summit — while occasionally stopping to do […]

By 4:00, I was in tears and growing more overwrought with every step. I knew I could not make the rest of […]
