Vanlife diaries #52: Izta-Popo National Park, Cholua & Puebla, Mexico

March 7, 2022

hi, I’m brooke!

I've spent the last decade exploring the world— everything from solo climbing in the Andes to overlanding in Zambia, all while completing a PhD in Biomechanics. In 2020, I fulfilled my dream of becoming a full-time nomad! Whether it’s vanlife in Mexico, scuba diving in the Galápagos, road-tripping through the Middle East, or climbing in the Dolomites, I hope this blog will inspire your future adventures & help you find wonder in every corner of the globe. xx bb

  • climbing our way through the Middle East 🧗🏻‍♀️✨ After climbing in Jordan’s incredible Wadi Rum desert the previous month, we were eager to get back on the rock during our time in Egypt— and there’s no better place than the Sinai Peninsula. Bedouins have been climbing these mountains for centuries, but bolted sport routes have only appeared in recent decades as European climbers partnered with local communities to establish more official routes in the canyons around Dahab & beyond. The fantastic team at @egyptclimbing set us up with a local guide who drove us out into the desert & unleashed us on the shaded red granite of Wadi Gnai. I’ve climbed almost exclusively on sandstone & limestone in recent years, so it took a minute to adjust to a totally different rock experience, but we ended up having so much fun! Worth hauling our climbing shoes around all year even for a few minutes of this 😂 . . . . . . #dahab #experienceegypt #sinai #sinairockclimbing #sinairockclimbingcentre #dahabegypt #girlswhoclimb #climbon #climbing #climbersofinstagram
  • Planning a scuba trip to the Red Sea several years ago, Dahab first popped onto my radar as the site of one of the most exciting adventures I’d EVER heard of: an overnight camel diving safari. For several decades, @desertdiversdahab has been leading intrepid divers up the remote coast of the Sinai Peninsula to access some of the region’s most pristine marine environments— a shore diving paradise completely devoid of people. And finally, after years of dreaming about it, we set off on camelback for an adventure of our own that was every bit as incredible as I’d imagined. Can’t wait to share more about this experience in an upcoming post, but for now: put this on your bucket list!!!! . . . . . . #dahab #dahabegypt #sinai #rasabugalum #cameldivesafari #egypt #exploreegypt #discoveregypt
  • Standing at 2,285m (7,500ft), Mt Sinai is a sacred pilgrimage route for thousands of annual visitors— believed by Christians, Jews & Muslims to be the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments ⛰️🐪 While most hike Mt Sinai under the stars for sunrise, we switched it up completely & headed out with our friends from @desertdiversdahab smack in the middle of the day. There was a lot of sweating, but the reward was cresting over the summit without another soul in sight, staring out at the vast Sinai desert in bug-eyed awe of a magical landscape that has captivated humans for millennia ☀️ On our way to the mountain, we also explored St Catherine’s Monastery, the oldest continuously operating Christian monastery in the world. Home to an unparalleled collection of ancient manuscripts and icons—which, thanks to its remote Sinai location, survived unscathed during the Byzantine Iconoclasm—it’s a testament to the enduring significance of this sacred place. Perhaps most importantly, it was also home to an unparalleled number of cats. All of whom I stopped to snuggle. THIS is my sacred pilgrimage 🐈 . . . . . #mtsinai #egypt #visitegypt #exploreegypt #ancientegypt #sinai #dahab #dahabegypt
  • a few of the wonderful & wacky places we worked on the road this autumn in the Middle East 🇯🇴🇪🇬🇦🇪🇾🇪🇴🇲🇶🇦 it’s not easy travelling full-time & trying to keep on top of our MOUNTAIN of work— between photo & video editing, blog writing, brand collaborations, actual trip planning, and the fact that I’m still fulfilling a university research contract (on an increasingly casual basis), we have been BUSY this year… but we still wouldn’t choose any other office 🌍💻 . . . . . . . #workfromanywhere #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomads #fulltimetravel #todaysoffice
  • Come with us to the annual camel racing festival in Wadi Rum, Jordan 🐪🇯🇴✨ We found out about the races from a camel guide in the desert, and it was pure coincidence that it lined up with our month in Jordan, so of course we had to go check it out. And it was every bit as incredible as it sounds! As the only foreigners here, it really felt like we got an authentic glimpse into Bedouin culture— and we couldn’t wait to share it with you! See you next year, camel lovers. . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #discoverjordan #travelbeyond #camelracing #wadirum #camels #camelrace
  • Bedouins have been using domesticated camels as transportation (& a source of milk) for thousands of years, and unlike some of the other places where you can ride camels internationally, the camels in Wadi Rum are truly happy, healthy & so well cared for. We had a really positive experience with every camel we interacted with in Wadi Rum & saw firsthand how important these animals are to Bedouin culture, as well as how lovingly they’re treated. If you’re considering a camel ride, we’d strongly recommend skipping busy sites like Petra (& definitely the Egyptian Pyramids or Mt Sinai) where camels are often overworked & poorly treated. Instead, support ethical camel tourism in Wadi Rum, where the welfare of these incredible animals is a priority. TIPS FOR ETHICAL CAMEL ACTIVITIES IN WADI RUM 🐪 book through a trusted local Bedouin guide—ask questions about how the camels are cared for 🐪 avoid any operation where camels look stressed, overworked, or malnourished 🐪 opt for short camel rides (1–2 hours max) rather than all-day treks 🐪 happy camels are usually calm, well-fed, & not overburdened! . . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #explorejordan #discoverjordan #travelgirl #adventuregirl #travelbeyond #wadirum #camels #camelsofinstagram #wadirumdesert
  • 10 BEST EXPERIENCES IN WADI RUM 🐪🇯🇴✨ 1️⃣ Little Bridge: a picturesque natural arch perfect for a quick scramble & photos 2️⃣ 4x4 jeep tour: half- or full-day jeep tours are the most popular way to see the desert; most tours include stops to - Little Bridge (1st photo) - Khazali Canyon - Lawrence’s House - Mushroom Rock - random lunch & siesta spot - Sand Dunes - Um Frouth Rock Bridge - Burdah Arch Viewpoint (which you can climb later!) - & somewhere to watch the sunset 3️⃣ sport climbing: even though Wadi Rum is best known for its trad climbing, there are about 40 (beautifully bolted, shady) sport routes out here in the desert— contact @hussain_al_zalabieh for guiding 4️⃣ scramble to Burdah Arch: this 3hr return hike offers some of the most incredible views over Wadi Rum 5️⃣ ride camels through the desert: domesticated camels have been used as a source of transportation for thousands of years in the desert & Wadi Rum is a fantastic place to ethically engage with well-treated camels; expect to pay ~$15 for a 1hr ride 6️⃣ watch the sunset over the desert: scramble up the nearest rock pile to watch intense shades of red & orange burn across the landscape 7️⃣ sleep in a Bedouin cave: nomadic Bedouin tribes have lived in Wadi Rum for centuries, settling for a few months at a time in various caves before moving further afield; our friend @rakan_wadi_rum_tours can help organise an unforgettable overnight stay in a Bedouin cave 8️⃣ camel racing: for more than 1400 years, Bedouins have been racing camels in the desert, and if you’re lucky enough to be there during one of the events, it’s SO COOL to see in person! (camel racing reel coming later this week 🐪) 9️⃣ summit a Jebel: Wadi Rum is full of incredible mountains with panoramic hiking routes to the top, including Jebel Umm Ad Dami (the tallest mountain in Jordan) & Jebel Rum (the 2nd tallest!) 🔟 overnight at a traditional Bedouin camp: opt for a luxury tent at @arabiannightsrum , we had the BEST experience here! . . . . . . #jordan #visitjordan #jordantravel #experiencejordan #explorejordan #discoverjordan #travelgirl #adventuregirl #travelbeyond #wadirum #wadirumdesert #camelrace

Planning a scuba trip to the Red Sea several years ago, Dahab first popped onto my radar as the site of one of the most exciting adventures I’d EVER heard of: an overnight camel diving safari. For several decades, @desertdiversdahab has been leading intrepid divers up the remote coast of the Sinai Peninsula to access some of the region’s most pristine marine environments— a shore diving paradise completely devoid of people. And finally, after years of dreaming about it, we set off on camelback for an adventure of our own that was every bit as incredible as I’d imagined. Can’t wait to share more about this experience in an upcoming post, but for now: put this on your bucket list!!!! . . . . . . #dahab #dahabegypt #sinai #rasabugalum #cameldivesafari #egypt #exploreegypt #discoveregypt

Standing at 2,285m (7,500ft), Mt Sinai is a sacred pilgrimage route for thousands of annual visitors— believed by Christians, Jews & Muslims to be the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments ⛰️🐪 While most hike Mt Sinai under the stars for sunrise, we switched it up completely & headed out with our friends from @desertdiversdahab smack in the middle of the day. There was a lot of sweating, but the reward was cresting over the summit without another soul in sight, staring out at the vast Sinai desert in bug-eyed awe of a magical landscape that has captivated humans for millennia ☀️ On our way to the mountain, we also explored St Catherine’s Monastery, the oldest continuously operating Christian monastery in the world. Home to an unparalleled collection of ancient manuscripts and icons—which, thanks to its remote Sinai location, survived unscathed during the Byzantine Iconoclasm—it’s a testament to the enduring significance of this sacred place. Perhaps most importantly, it was also home to an unparalleled number of cats. All of whom I stopped to snuggle. THIS is my sacred pilgrimage 🐈 . . . . . #mtsinai #egypt #visitegypt #exploreegypt #ancientegypt #sinai #dahab #dahabegypt
