Just wondering how long you spent in Thailand to fit all of that in? Going there in summer & thinking of a similar route.

If you are looking for an adventure I would definitely say do it alone but do your research (Trailfinders are a good source of information) and make sure that you are not trying to do too much in too little time. Spanish is an easy enough language to pick up and lessons are easy to come by, and cheap, in most South American countries. Pointing and urgently gesturing has been working fine for us so far.

Hope this is helpful – happy travels!

We’re planning to do some travel and was wondering if you’d recommend travelling south america independently? We were thinking of joining a tour. Is it dangerous? Do you need good spanish?

Yer blog is super fantastic by the way

For example, I created a page called Thailand. I then created a sub-page of this page called Bangkok. The gallery widget is inserted on to the Bangkok page. I then placed a thumbnail on the Thailand page and linked it to the bangkok page. These steps are repeated for each location I visit.

When planning your gallery it may help to plan it on paper. This saves time waiting on internet connections.

I hope this helps.
