Europe meets Asia
East meets west, Europe meets Asia, TwoGoGlobal meets one of the worlds most cultural cities. We were both excited about the few weeks we would get to spend in Turkey, even if it was at the height of winter and terrorism threats! Our first stop was to the sprawling...

The Beauty of Agua
Lake Atitlan is absolutely beautiful, at an altitude of 4,500ft with uniquely distinct villages and towns scattered around its shores! There are 3 volcanoes that rise up from the edge of the water and tower 6,000ft above the lake, Volcan San Pedro, Toliman and...
Trip from Esteli, Nicaragua to Panajachel, Guatemala
We arrived in Leon on December 26, 2012. We both immediately knew that Leon was not for us. We had already spent 4 weeks in the city of Granada (a week extra for Dengue Fever) and it was now time for some beautiful mountain scenery on a lake - hopefully without all...
El Dengue!
So here we were, 24 hours before flying to the Corn Islands for a Christmas ‘vacation’ and Andrea just got admitted into a Nicaraguan hospital with Dengue Fever! Can someone please remind me what use mosquitoes are to the planet again? This is certainly not a pretty...
The best of Granada
We’re sadly leaving Granada on Friday afternoon, after spending 20 days here. We have had a wonderful time exploring the city and surrounding areas, but we’re ready for a change. We'll be flying from Managua to Little Corn Island, Nicaragua in the Caribbean for a...
Granada, around and about
Wayne and I arrived in the colonial city of Granada on Sunday, December 2nd. After getting lost in the municipal market and having a nice man help us with our location we eventually found La Perla, our home for the next 3 weeks. From the street this place looks like...
Volcan Concepción
Isla de Ometepe, the largest island on a lake in the world is formed by two volcanoes in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. We chose to stay in Moyogalpa, the islands largest town as it’s the base camp for the climb up Volcan Concepcion which we had planned for Saturday,...
Getting from La Fortuna, Costa Rica to Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua
We left La Fortuna in Costa Rica on Monday morning and got an 8am bus to Florencia where we only had to wait around 15 minutes for the bus to Los Chiles. After walking through town we found Rio San Juan and paid an official looking guy 60 Colons each for a port fee...
Corcovado NP Hike
La Palma to Sirena I’m sure we can’t put into words what a wonderful adventure this turned out to be in Corcovado, but we’ll try. Our second good decision, after deciding to go to Corcovado, was hiring Nito from Surcostours as our guide for 3 days. His knowledge of...
Jaco and Out
Surf Lesson Our friend Jamie was coming for a long weekend to stay with me whilst Wayne was doing the La Ruta bike race for 3 days, or so he thought. It was her idea to sign up for surf lessons and I’m glad we did. Jaco is extremely popular with surfers from beginner...
La Ruta de los Conquistadores
Pre Race Discovering La Ruta was pure coincidence. By chance I saw post from a guy on the Leadville 100 mountain bike news group asking if anyone doing Leadville had an available room for a Costa Rican Pro in exchange for accommodation at La Ruta. This peaked my...
A’s First RTW Work Week
The plan for the first couple months of our RTW adventure was for Andrea to remain working, this was her decision and nothing forced onto her by her semi-retired husband! That’s what also made Costa Rica our starting point, due to it being on a 2 hour time zone...
First Weekend
Saturday 20th October 2012 This was supposed to be the first day I get to ride day 1 of the “La Ruta de los Conquistadores” mountain bike race course, a 3 day event from Jaco on the Pacific coast to Limon on the Caribbean. I signed up for this crazy event after...
The Trip Begins
Thursday 18th October 2012, 10.45am Retirement is definitely not over-rated, at least not for me – Andrea may not agree with that yet! So we arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica on a classy Spirit Air flight from Fort Lauderdale and immediately paid too much for car...
Bucket List
So what's on your Bucket List? I try to update this based on both myself and Andrea's must do's, our would like to do's, and our already dones! As we're not always on top of what we would like to do we often add items to the list after we have done them. I know if we...
Packing for Central America
Wayne and I did a test run of our backpacks for Central America. Nice and Light! Mine is only 24lbs! We've spent a lot of time reading other blogs to figure out the best stuff to take. Luckily, we're coming back to the states after Central America so we'll have a...
Leadville 100
What an awesome day! Wayne kicked ass at the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike race on August 11th. He finished in 8:49 and earned his BIG BUCKLE! I'm so proud of him - he trained really hard for this :)Elation after 8 hrs and 48 mins in the saddleReceiving my BIG buckle...
Two Become One
So on a beautiful day in July Andrea and I exchanged vows and got married - my parents, sister and brother-in-law, and Andrea's parents and sister were all in town for the affair. Alongside family we had 22 good friends join us on a boat cruising the Intracoastal...
Happy Times!
We have just booked our first accommodation for the trip! We'll be in Jaco, Costa Rica for 5 weeks. We found a fabulous tropical bungalow 1 mile from the beach and on the edge of the rainforest. We're hoping to see the many scarlet macaws, toucans, butterflies,...
Austin Rattler
One hundred miles across the high-altitude, extreme terrain of the Colorado Rockies. Created for only the most determined athletes. Starting at 10,152 feet and climbing to 12,424 feet, you’ll be challenged to catch your breath — while the views try to take it away....
More than Sport
Wayne and I attended a fundraiser for MoreThanSport.org. It's an organization founded by Ironman Champion Chris Lieto. His goal is to help communities in the places where he is racing. Their first event was in Panama City last month when we were there. We weren't able...
