TRAVEL OFTEN AROUND YOUR 9-5⬇️

🟠 Obvious choice but make use of the weekends. Fly out on Friday night and home Sunday evening. Really good to squeeze in a mini city break.

🟠 For longer holidays use the same method as above. Fly out on a Friday night and home the following Sunday. You can get almost 9 days away and only have to take 5 days off work.

🟠 Make use of your bank holidays. Tag on an extra day off around a bank holiday. For example around the Easter break.

🟠If you are flying on weekdays fly out late evening and fly home early morning so you don’t have to take those flying days off work.

🟠 Work from your holiday. Commit to working one or two mornings whilst you are away. This can help in saving up a few half days when you get to the end of the year. However this is probably not worth it on shorter trips

🟠 If you are able to travel with work. Make a holiday out of that by tagging on a few days holiday after the work trip is over.

Do you have any other tips?

📍The SPACE - San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua 🇳🇮 @thespace.sjds

This is the perfect hostel for travellers looking to unwind and relax (unless you are there on a Sunday when it’s part of the Sunday funday bar crawl 🙈)

🛌Dorm rooms start from £11 and Private from £50 🛌

🚖 It located a 6 minute drive and a 30 minute walk outside of the town. They do offer a free shuttle bus to town and from town everyday!

🧡One thing I’m super grateful for is my supportive boyfriend no matter how ludacris my ideas.

✈️He loves to travel and explore new places but it’s definitely not on the same scale as me!

💻 He also doesn’t have a job that gives him the same freedoms as mine does

🌎I’ll be leaving him for a while very shortly, and Ive talked about how I want to go away for a few months at some point in the future.

❤️Despite the fact we miss each other he’ll always support my travels whether he can come with me or not.

10-Day Nicaragua Itinerary 🌴🌊🇳🇮 1 nig

10-Day Nicaragua Itinerary 🌴🌊🇳🇮

1 night - Leon 🌋
2 nights -San Juan Del Sur or Popoyo 🏄🏽‍♀️
2 nights - Ometepe 🌋
2 nights - Laguna de Apoyo/ Granada 🛶
3 nights - Little Corn Island 🌴🌽

📆For those of us who are limited to 25 days of holiday a year - 10 days in Nicaragua is TOTALLY doable. You’ll be on a tight schedule and will need to spend more on transport/taxis to get to places on time …. but it’s all worth it. ✈️

⏰If you have more time, I would say stretch to 14 days and up some of the stays to 3 nights. This will give you a chance to relax in each location. 💤

Full-time travel/time freedom is the goal but for now, I’m grateful that I get to experience snippets of these beautiful countries!

Would you visit Nicaragua for 10 days?

Day 8&9 - Nicaragua 🇳🇮

Day 8 📆

🤿We paid $20 each to go on a snorkelling tour with with our guesthouse (Graces Cool Spot)

🦈It was a 2 hour trip and we got to see lots of nurse sharks, plus others saw turtles, stingrays and lobsters which I missed

🚤Later that afternoon we had to leave Little Corn 😫. We were planning to leave the next day but they weren’t going to be running the boats to Big Corn due to the wind….. so if we didn’t leave we would have missed our flight.

⚓️Something to be aware of if you’re travelling to the corn island’s

Day 9 📆

✈️We flew from Big Corn Island back to the main land early in the morning.

🚕We then got picked up from the airport and we decided to go back to Laguna de Apoyo and stay @paradisonicaragua

🍺 We spent our last day drinking turbo shandy’s and swimming in the lake (which was a lot warmer than we expected)

🌎Favourite places in Central America

🧡I’m totally in love with Central America and I haven’t even scratched the surface yet (more countries to visit and more places to visit where I’ve already been)

🌎Whilst I find it difficult to say where my favourite place is because they are all so different, here are some of my favourite places in each country I’ve been to so far:

Mexico 🇲🇽

🌮Valladolid
🏝️Isla Holbox

Guatemala 🇬🇹

🌋Antigua (+ Acatenango Volcano hike)
🌊Lake Atitlan

Costa Rica 🇨🇷

🦥Puerto Viejo
🏄🏽‍♀️Dominical
🍃La fortuna purely for @arenal.lodge

Nicaragua 🇳🇮

🌋Ometepe
🌽Little Corn Island

Still have so many places to visit in these countries but these are my fave so far 🧡

Day 7 - Nicaragua 🇳🇮🏝️

Today was a very chill day 😎

🍳We woke up for some brekfast and then headed off to explore the island.

🚶🏽‍♀️We headed north of our hotel at Graces cool spot and walked as far around the island as we could, taking in all the beautiful views along the way.

🌴The most popular beach on the island is Otto beach and we were going to stop here but the bar was shut and after all the walking we were super hungry.

🍃We decided to walk through the island and into the main “town”.

🎶We stopped off at a reggae bar called “Beach Bar” for lunch and stayed there for ages drinking and catching some sun and going for dips to cool off.

🌮We then headed back to get read for Tacos and Triva night at Tranquilo cafe. The tacos were AMAZING but our trivia was terrible. We came last 😅

One of my favourite days of the trip!

Day 6 - Nicaragua 🇳🇮

✈️Today we had to wake up super early to catch our flight to the Corn islands.

🚕We headed from Leon to Managua airport which was approx 2 hours drive (of course we used our fave driver David)

🔖We checked in for our flight which was very easy they give you a baggage receipt which you must keep hold of as they check it the other end when collecting your luggage.

🛩️💵The flights were roughly $111 one way with La Costena airlines (they are not on Skyscanner so we had to book directly)

💰We then had to pay a $2 tourist tax to board the flight

🛫The flight was totally fine (I was a tad nervous but had no need to be.

🚎The flight kind of works like a bus which was so new to me. There are no assigned seats so you just pick whatever is free.

💙It first lands Bluefields airport where it lets passengers off and more people on. If you’re flying to Big Corn you just stay on the plane.

⏰In total it was about 1.5 hours

🚖Once we landed in Big Corn we had to catch a taxi to the ferry port. This cost us $1 per person

💰Once we got there we then had to pay ANOTHER tourist tax for around $1 to enter the port.

⛴️We then waited for our ferry to little corn. There are only 2 ferries a day to Little Corn 10am ($20) and 4:30pm ($10). Take a look at this last picture for more info on this.

🏨Once we arrived we were greeted by someone from our guesthouse ( Graces Cool Spot) at the port and he walked us to the hotel.

🍹Once we checked in we got showered up and had a little explore. We then spent the evening at at tranquilio cafe drinking cocktails with some lovely humans that we met at our guesthouse.
