One Day in Vancouver

The rain poured down on Vancover when we arrived there in the late afternoon. In the bus terminal where we had WiFi, we tried to figure out how to get to the car
relocation spot but the company already closed for this day. Still having not received a confirmation email we wrote them an email explaining our situation. We were in a
pretty bad mood not knowing if we can get the relocation deal.

What is car relocation?
A cheap way to get to a rental car.
On a website called iMoova.com you can find relocation deals for cars, camper and RVs. The offers are mostly rental companies. Basically you just have to being the car to the place the company wants it. For us it would have been Vancover to San Francisco. You get the car for free in exchange for relocating it. You also get a timeframe. We would have been allowed to have the car for 7 days.

We check into a cheap hostel and wait for the rain to stop to walk around in the city. 
The next morning we still had no email from the company called Jucy.com our relocation would have been for.
Here we are now sad with no plan how a d where to travel. Maybe fly to Mexico or Hawaii? Take the bus down to Portland? Nothing seemed right. We don’t just want to fly from one point to the next. We also want to see what is in between. The thought of buying a car came up. Actually we thought about that before but now we really want to do it. So we hit google to inform ourselves if it is possible for us to buy a car in Canada. Turns out British Colombia is the perfect place for tourists to buy cars. We decided to go to a used car dealer after breakfast.

Advice:
+ buy cars in Vancouver

- don‘t go for breakfast to China Town
where: Vancouver, BC, Canada

Where is my Coffee from?

Image
The package only reveals that the origin of the coffee is El Salvador. Now I also know the farm, the families who work there and the process from the seed to the cup. Thanks to a video deal with Santa Cristina Specialty coffee, Niklas and me were able to visit three of their coffee farms near San Salvador. We got picked up in the morning by our very own driver for the day, Alejandro Flores. He also provided us with snacks, soft drinks and of course fresh coffee. Together we visited the different farms belonging to Santa Cristina. San Luca, San Francisco and Santa Cristina We talked to the families who lived and worked on the farms and they showed us their plantages proudly. On the last farm we were able to see the process of picking the ripe red beans, the sorting of the good and bad, the drying in the sun on the so-called African beds and the weighing and packing. The whole family was participating. Something that really impressed me was the diversity of fruits and veget...

Active in Antigua

Image
We arrived in Guatemala with not really a plan except to visit the Festival de Barriletes Gigantes. Luckily we still had Marion with us who knew where to go. The first night we stayed in Flores, a small town on an island. Thanks to a tipp from a local I searched google for Guatemala's so called 'primary roads' because this are the main (good) roads. Everything else but these roads is basically a dirt road according to our friend. After a long day of driving we reached Antigua which is filled with really cool hostels, shops, architecture, activities and restaurants. Exploring beautiful Antigua 1st of November we headed to Sumpango for the Festival de Barriletes Gigantes. The locals traditionally decorate and visit the graves of there deceased family members similar to our tradition on All-Saints Day at home. Additional, they have the Mayan influenced custom of the Barriletes. The big kites are believed to scar away bad ghost from the graves. Early in the morni...

How to travel plastic free

Image
I started to reduce waste mainly plastic as much as possible when I was still at home in Vienna. I managed to swap single use items for reusable ones and I hardly bought any new plastic items. I promised myself to do my best to keep this up while traveling.     Here is what I have with me: Reusable Waterbottle The most important item in everyday life. In some countries it is easy because you can drink tap water but also in other countries it has never been a problem for me to find a place where I can refill my bottle. Almost all Hotels/Hostel/Camping areas I have been to provide a free water fill stations. Also most public places like airports or shopping centers provide free water. There is also an app called Freewa  where you can search for free drinking water near you. Also check out there website.  Especially for traveling I looked for a very stable and long-lasting bottle which I found at  Klean Kanteen . Coffeecup Very important item for ...
