Stuck in a Bat Cave in the Panamanian Jungle
As far as hiking habits go, ours tend to always lead us well off the beaten path. We’ve taken tumbles into poisonous plants, trodden on venomous snakes, and been chased off Australian military bases by ferocious rottweilers.

Since summiting Mt Kilimanjaro back in 2010, I have been looking for inspiration for my next big trek.
Everest? It’s on the list – though everyone’s doing Everest these days. The Kokoda Trail? This trek won’t be for a while until we return to Australia. The Inca Trail perhaps? We experienced a heavy downpour of rain while in Peru so opted out and jumped on a train instead.
