📍 Egypt

Five of Us, One Nile, Zero Regrets: How Our Cairo-to-Red-Sea Chaos Became the Trip of a Lifetime

Five Global Hobo misfits. Nine days. Enough chaos, mint tea, and underwater encounters to rewrite what we thought we knew about Egypt.

Temple Glow and Floating Villages: My Messy, Beautiful Week in Cambodia

Siem Reap nearly broke me. Then the temples, the water, and a woman named Sokha fixed everything.

Chasing Ghosts in the Jordanian Desert: A Solo Reckoning

I came to Jordan alone, unmoored, carrying only stubborn questions. The desert answered them slowly, in rust and salt and stone.

Panama: Sweating Through the Seams

Muddy, lost, and grinning—a slow-travel ramble through Panama's beating heart, where infrastructure and jungle are locked in eternal argument.

I came to Tanzania for the wildlife. I stayed for the chaos, the kindness, and one very persistent mountain.

Five of us, zero shared language, infinite motorbikes, and the kind of meals you dream about for years.

📍 South Africa

Five of Us, One Table Mountain, and the Slow Unravelling of a Perfect Plan

The Crew Goes to Bolivia: Five Days of Salt, Sweat, and Señora's Kitchen

Five Global Hobo crew members converge on Bolivia for adventure, terrible decision-making, and unexpected wisdom from a woman named Delphine's kitchen class.

Five of Us, Five Days, One Absolutely Chaotic Peruvian Education

We came to Peru for the sights. We stayed because the people, the food, and our collective ability to get hopelessly lost rewired something fundamental.

📍 Nicaragua

Nicaragua After Dark: When the Volcano Glows and the Rum Flows

I came to Nicaragua for the volcanoes. I stayed for the screaming, the fish guts, and a meditation session that nearly drowned me.

Five solo travellers collide in Sri Lanka and decide to stay together. What could go wrong? Everything. What goes right? Also everything.

📍 Ecuador

Lost in Ecuador's Vertical Paradise: How I Nearly Drowned, Fell in Love, and Found My Flip-Flops

📍 Taiwan

Five of Us, One Island, Zero Plans (Mostly)

We arrived in Taipei with vague intentions and left with dumpling-stained shirts, sore calves, and a collective obsession with bubble tea.

I came to Kenya looking for the hippy trail. Instead I found it was never really lost.

📍 Argentina

Following the Dusty Trail: My Stumbling Journey Down Argentina's Hippy Heart

I arrived in São Paulo knackered and left it dazed. Brazil's after-dark scene isn't for the faint-hearted—or the sober.

📍 Greece

After Dark in Greece: My Midnight Spiral Through the Aegean's Weirder Corners

Forget the whitewashed Instagram hell. I chased Greek nights through hidden coves, limestone vertigo, and a food tour that made me understand why Athenians never leave their neighbourhood.

📍 Guatemala

After Dark in Guatemala: When Everything Goes Sideways (And That's The Point)

I went to Guatemala for ruins and came back with singed eyebrows, a market nemesis, and the kind of story that demands a cold cerveza to tell properly.

📍 Japan

Chasing the Dharma Through Tokyo: How I Stopped Running and Started Eating

I came to Tokyo seeking enlightenment. I found it in a noodle stall, a Mario kart, and the sweaty grip of a sumo wrestler's hand.

📍 Vietnam

I Rode a Soviet Motorcycle Into a Ceramic Village, Got Lost in Hanoi's Backstreets, and Found Myself in a Homestay 1,500m Up a Mountain

Vietnam promised chaos. I didn't expect it to change how I travel entirely—or leave me genuinely terrified of going home.

Chasing the Ghost of the Hippy Trail in Kenya

📍 South Africa

Five of Us, One Mountain, and the Winelands: A Week Gone Right in South Africa

Five Global Hobo writers descended on Cape Town with a loose itinerary and no real plan. What followed was scrambling, penguins, wine, history, and one very honest mountain.

From Shanghai's dawn streets to limestone peaks that inspired Avatar, I discovered that the best China travel happens between the famous bits.

Slow Bullet Through the Middle Kingdom: A Love Letter to Messy, Magnificent China

Three days chasing thermal waters, handmade pasta, and the ghosts of Pompeii. No filters. No bullshit.

I went to Uganda looking for enlightenment. I found tubes, rapids, mountain gorillas, and a cooking class that changed everything.

📍 Turkey

Five of Us, Two Continents, Zero Regrets: A Turkish Reckoning

We came for the clichés. We stayed for the dingy bars, the Segways, the sunset yachts, and the kind of chaos that makes a story worth telling.

📍 Tanzania

Five of Us, Two Weeks, One Glorious Unraveling in Tanzania

We arrived as strangers, scattered across three continents. We left as the kind of people who'd share a tent with each other again.

📍 Guatemala

Jungle Gods and Runaway Chillies: My Chaotic Week in Guatemala

Lost in Antigua's markets, half-lost in Tikal's jungle, fully lost trying to bike Guatemala City. A proper adventure.

I came to Spain chasing Gaudí and left chasing sunsets. What happened in between was nothing like my spreadsheet.

Cambodia teaches you that temples aren't just ruins—they're doorways. And sometimes the best part of the journey is the people sitting next to you on a night bus.

Seven days of overland meandering through Costa Rica's green heart taught me that the best travel happens when you're completely lost.

Lost in Panama's After-Dark Pulse
