The chicken bus took us to Rivas in south Nicaragua. From there we took a cab out to the magnificent rock, overlooking the rock Jackson and his family has build a beautiful hotel with rooms for all kind of people; penthouse suit, doorm rooms and apartments with kitchens. If you walk ten minutes down the beach you get to the wave Popoyo, Petter and Nick seemed to have a lot of fun there..

Organization is the key to easy travel. This year we have been traveling to more places that ever before and doing short stops here and there = unpacking and then packing it all again x 50. We’re lucky to have a range of Sea to Summit’s traveling light gear to help us! Now I can’t imaging a life without packing cells, garment mesh bags, see pouches and hanging toiletry bags.

With these smart products everything got its place, I don’t have to empty all my bag when I’m looking for the nail clipper. Packing up and leaving is also made so much faster, we can spread our stuff out and then quick pack our bags in just ten minutes when it’s time to leave, cause we know where everything should be! At Magnific Rock, who’s our next stop on this trip, it was really easy to feel at home. We packed up our bags in their “wardrobe”, wish more places had smart solutions like this.

We’re carrying our whole lives on our backs, in our backpacks, it’s our “room”. That makes our packing cells and mesh bags to the interior. Like a drawer where I have my underwear or the medium packing cells is like my desk, except it’s weighing 56 gram, where I have all the pens, stickers etc. It’s so smart!

Jumped on a local chicken bus and started to head towards our next stop. Chicken buses are so much fun to go with, you never know if it will stop, when it leaves, when it arrives or how much it costs. But you always know that you can fit inside it,  and you can bring whatever it doesn’t matter how full of people it is. Once we where in one and we calculated it to about 100 persons in our bus. We had to squeeze our boards and then ourselves, while inside we didn’t find each other or the boards, it was craazy, haha. And yeah, they are called chicken buses because people bring chickens on them of course. And iguanas, and snakes, and birds, and all sorts of animals and things.

We took our golf car and went hunting for some barrels along the coast in this gated community.  Here’s some pretty rad waves…
