Hidden gems in Central Chile for introverted travellers
A lot of people who come to Chile only hit three spots: the Atacama desert in the North, Santiago de Chile in the centre and Patagonia in the South. Maybe they make a stop in the lake region around Villarica and Pucon, if they have the time, or they fly the four-plus hours to Easter Island. And don’t get me wrong, all those

My introvert travel guide to Easter Island
When talking about introvert-suited travel destinations, most people name places that are secluded, only have a limited number of people to allow for plenty of alone-time and impress you with plenty of breathtaking nature.

Why travel is not for introverts – and how to master it anyway!
One thing that drives me crazy every time is that stereotype of the extroverted traveller. The idea that you need to be outgoing and bubbly and socially hyperactive to survive on the road.

From mountains to salt flats: touring Southern Bolivia
It’s no secret I consider Bolivia one of the most beautiful, breathtaking countries there is. Just look at Lake Titicaca. Or Sucre. Or even La Paz, for all its hustle. However, some of the most memorable days of my Bolivia-trip came when I took a four-day tour from Tupiza to Uyuni, exploring the South-Western part of the country, close to the Chilean

How do you get pictures of yourself as a solo introvert traveller?
I wrote this blog post and then realised I’m not really giving an answer to the question in the title. The reason behind this whole article is that I don’t have that answer. But don’t stop reading yet! Let me elaborate on the problem of how to get pictures of yourself when there’s no one travelling with you, and then maybe we

The five things you need to do when visiting Sucre
Sucre is Bolivia’s official capital. Yep, that’s right. It’s not La Paz – even though the latter is the seat of government. A bit confusing, I know, but at least they’ve come to an agreement – they had a civil war about this issue once. In fact, depending on whether you talk to someone from Sucre or from La Paz, you might

Why Bolivia’s Lake Titicaca is the perfect introvert destination
After staying in La Paz for a few days, I continued my Bolivia travels by visiting Copacabana on the shore of Lake Titicaca. I didn’t know it yet, but this little town near the Peruvian border would prove exactly what I needed after that stressful week in La Paz. Moreover, it makes for the perfect introvert travel destination. Here’s why. Far away
