Mérida is the adventure capital of Venezuela set in the foothills of the Andes. It's visited by outdoor enthusiasts to climb, trek, paraglide, do water-sports or go fishing. With a large student population there's no shortage of things to do at night too.

From Lamayuru we reached Leh on day 3. In-between we visited few beautiful locations. Well let me tell you every place in Leh-Ladakh region is picture perfect. We visited meeting point of Indus and Zanskar river. Had lunch on the way at Pattharsaheb gurudwara. In the evening we reached Leh town and checked in at Hotel Mahey retreat. Beautiful snow mountain view from the room. Now it started little altitude problem while walking for the dinner at Gizmo. We had yum honey ginger lemon and yak cheese pizza!!

I had the opportunity to spend a week in and around Medellin, Colombia this summer. One of the highlights was visiting a 400-acre coffee farm out in the nearby countryside, and the city itself is a clean, beautiful, bustling place full of colorful sights and friendly people. This piece is a collage of impressions of each of the areas I visited during my trip.

A map I created to show the world some of the beautiful things we have in Venezuela!

A good activity for kids during all of the World Cup action: Go Play Outside! Fancy equipment not needed ... use what you have. Cheer for any team you wish! (Yes, Canada did not qualify, but we are cheering anyways.)

If you are in Bariloche, should book two or three days to make this hike! Take a bus to Pampa Linda and walk two days up to Lago Frías, then back to Bariloche by boat.

A small tour around the chaotic sao paulo still with tons of places to discover to enjoy.
