After a harrowing jeep ride on one of the world’s most dangerous ride, we finally made it to Fairy Meadows in Pakistan. But the highlight of the visit was the hike to Nanga Parbat basecamp the next day.
Conundrum Hot Springs is one of the most popular backpacking trips in Colorado. A friend was lucky enough to snag the highly coveted Conundrum permit. Even though I’m not a big fan of hot springs, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
A jeep will give you access to over 500 miles of off-highway trails and some of Colorado’s most stunning landscapes. We love hitting the roads behind the wheels of a 4×4 jeep. It’s so much fun and a great way to explore the backcountry.

Meroe was much bigger than I expected and walking up and down sand dunes was definitely not the easiest. I stayed until the sun set and it was too dark to see. There were pyramids still unexplored. Yet, I was content.
Can you travel Sudan independently? Doable, but not easy. I traveled in Sudan by myself visiting Khartoum, Meroe, and Kassala using public buses and taxi.
