Millennial travel & finances – what’s it all about?
*This millennial travel post is a collaboration with Shepherds Friendly Before we start, let me just say how much I hate the term "Millennial". But I love talking about both finance and travel – so saving for millennial travel is something
![[AD] I’ve been lucky enough to do some amazing things across the world, but climbing Volcano Acatenango for sunrise was a once-in-a-lifetime experience I won’t forget. 😍

I was working with @tropicanahostelantigua for the two-day trek which saw us climb nearly 4,000m to base camp where we spent the night watching lava spewing from nearby active Volcano Fuego. 🌋 -
Words cannot do justice to the most incredible sunset we watched from high above the clouds and smoke billowed from Fuego. ✨
-
Every 10 minutes the air was filled with the boom from the explosions and as day turned to night, we could see red hot lava spilling over the sides of the volcano.
-
At 4am, we rose after a crazy night’s sleep to start the final ascent to the summit for sunrise. 🧡

It was hard, I won’t lie. I struggled a LOT with the altitude and could barely catch my breath at points. It was frustrating for someone who is usually super fit, but you have to listen to your body and learn to go slow. ☺️

The whole experience was led by our amazing and super patient guide, Johnny who helped us every step of the way. We had all our meals included – plus wine, hot chocolate and banana cake at base camp. -
But best of all – we got to spend the night in huts with an epic view of Fuego. Tropicana Hostel is the only trip operator that offers this experience in Antigua – and trust me, we were grateful not to be in tents when the temperature plummeted after sunset.

I’ll be sharing a full blog post very soon – with full details of everything I needed for the trip including clothes, snacks and how to book. But for now, *SWIPE RIGHT* for more epic pics! 😊
What’s the craziest travel experience you’ve had?
