Rolo on Tour

I get a lot of questions like „What was your favourite country/place/thing you did..“.
The thing is, I can’t answer these questions, as I cannot reduce a 1-year-trip to just a simple answer to that. So I decided to choose some categories and then single out the things I remember most within these categories. Let’s begin:

• Country, which has the best food: Mexico for sure
• Best meal I had: Pancakes filled with cheese on a street food stall in León, Nicaragua for around 0,40$ a piece. Delicious!
• Country, which has the friendliest people: Cambodia
• Country, where travelling is easiest: New Zealand
• If god were a men, every country would be like: Argentina (A country where half of the space in restaurants is occupied by a big barbecue, soccer is the national religion and women are beautiful. ;-))
• Most strenuous activity I did: I call it a tie between climbing Volcano Concepción in Nicaragua and climbing Huayna Potosi in Bolivia.
• Best fun sports activity I tried: I guess I have to say Skydiving, although it hurts your budget a bit..
• Biggest surprise: Ending up as a participant of a Waiter’s run in Guatemala
• Best Experience off the beaten track: Doing the Quilotoa Loop in Ecuador. A trek in a beautiful landscape, which is not crowded at all with tourists and where you meet friendly local people in the small villages along the way.
• Places to skip: Cancún, Mexico and Baños, Ecuador; they are way too touristy for my taste
• Best trip: The boat rides from Iquitos into the jungle and from Siem Reap to Battambang
• Worst trip: The 36 hour bus ride from Luang Prabang to Hanoi
