Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

 

Bolivia certainly is an interesting country to travel.

It has quite a lot to offer, it has beautiful landmarks, very rich culture, colourful cities and generally, things to look at.

 

It is hard to miss Bolivia if you travel by land. And it is pointless to miss it, because you can cross the whole country in about $15.

Bolivia is one of the “true” backpacking experiences, which not many are probably ready for. All the complaints that we hear about “too touristy” places and even countries that are solely designed for “tourists” can be put on hold, because nothing like that exists there. Of course there are hostels and of course there are bus companies that cost more than a flight and take you from border to the border. But if you’re on limited budget, you would probably do the way locals do it. So you can forget about heating in your rooms, or barely warm water can be called Hot, you may not see vegetarian options listed on the menus in weeks and you might forget what supermarkets look like.

Apart from a little ugly colourful imitation of Klimt’s trees all over the city and a terribly dirty lake, Managua could be an impressive example of ginormous colourful NON-Place which you pass and never remember again.

Cuba and Safety

Cuba is probably the safest country you could visit. Regardless of all the warnings and stories you may come across on internet, not even once we felt unsafe there.

Cuba and Ideology. Fidel, Che and McDonalds

 

Cuba and Lifestyle.

I think that Cuban people are very special, either it is due to survived horror or simply because they are, Cubans have their ways in everything. And if I was to categorise my impression of an average Cuban person I would describe as someone…
