Top 5: Islands and Beaches

1. Archipelago San Blas (Panama)

Paradise. No buildings, no shops, no people. A true desert island experience in the Caribbean, I visited whilst catching a yacht from Columbia to Panama.

2. Caye Caulker (Belize)
This small island in the Caribbbean off the coast of Belize has great diving, cheap rum and Bob Marley non-stop on the record player. Perfect for a few days chilling out (or 8 in my case).
3. Pulau Perhentian (Malaysia)
This backpacker island has the clearest water you have ever seen, no roads and cheap beer (very impressive in Malaysia!)

4. Punta Del Diablo (Uruguay)

This surfing town was supposed to be the perfect place for me to wind down after the Rio carnival, however it was a little too fun for that. The 5 days I spent here was all too few, but very enjoyable.

5. Utila (Honduras)
The place where I learnt to scuba dive was also a pretty fun island to hang around and the first English speaking place I had been to in 5 months!
