Felt cute, definitely not deleting later 💁🏼‍♀️
Hi my name is Coley, and I like sand dunes and being inconsistent on IG.
Some of my favourite #35mm shots from Argentina to let you know that I FINALLY got the next South America vlog up! If you wanna see what we got up to in Argentina, check out the link in the bio. I’m not going to lie, this vlog makes me hella emotional, and I definitely cry in it 😂🏔
If this isn’t a don’t fuck with me pose idk what is 🤷🏼‍♀️ but honestly guys... why are sand dunes so magical?!?
Funnily enough, all of my favourite places we went to on our trip, are all places I suggested to @julianatk we go to 😏 Arequipa was one of those places. The minute we got there we were blown away with how much it looked like a little mini Spain. It was so clean, the people were nice, the architecture was stunning, and there was so much history. One of my favorite things we did whilst there was spending the day exploring around the Santa Catalina Monastery. The beautiful colourful exteriors and gorgeous religious artwork took our breaths away. The café inside also had amazing lemonade which is a perfect way to catch some shade after walking around in the hot sun. Arequipa ending up being my favorite place we went in Peru, and I definitely think this Monastery is a huge reason why.
One of the most beautiful hot springs I’ve ever been to in my life 😍 Chile you take my breath away.
It took us 5 days, we walked over 70kms to get here, but in the end it was definitely worth it 😍 Machu Picchu is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my entire life, it’s a magical place full of beautiful energy. Have you ever done a trek before? This was our first and it was hard as balls but finishing here made every step worth while.
I’m not saying I’ve spent my entire trip looking for baby alpacas to hold and mountains to climb, but if you looked at my Instagram feed you’d think that’s the case 😂
STORY TIME 👇🏻 Our alarm went of at 1:50am, and I remember seeing Julian’s hand drop down from the bunk above me in our hostel, the only thought running through my head was... what on earth have I signed myself up for? We quickly got our boots on, grabbed our bags, and were out the door and on our way to the trailhead. We reach the sign at 2:15am that tell us that there are 10 kilometres ahead of us. I took a deep breath, and away we went. The first three kilometres were hard, my body sweating in the first 5 minutes as I fought off a constant state of nausea and made my way up the gradual incline of the mountain. I was consistently asking myself, and sometimes out loud to Julian, why we were doing this and regretted my suggestion. Then, after we passed our 3 kilometre marker, the ground flattened out, the nausea subsided, I could breathe again, and we were passing each kilometre faster than the next. But we were also nervous... the sky above us was not clear, and it was starting to look as though all of our efforts would be for nothing... what it we couldn’t actually see the peak as it was covered by clouds? We tried to ignore the thoughts and kept pushing on anyways. And then, around 5am, the clouds cleared, and thanks to the small amount of moonlight we could see it... Fitz Roy in all its glory, with a million stars, and even the Milky Way above it. At this point we were excited. Jules stopped to get photos of the stars (no surprise there), and I kept going, as I am significantly slower than his long legs and knew he could catch up. We finally, after what felt like years, reached Pointmont - the campsite for all the hikers who wanted to sleep close to sunrise spot so they didn’t have to get up at 2am like us. We arrived at camp and could just start to see flashlights of people opening up tents, and gearing up to get onto the trail - we were right on schedule and before we knew it we reached the sign... the last kilometre marker before our destination. But unlike the rest of the markers, this one came with a warning: telling us how the last kilometre was also a 400m elevation gain, and that only those in optimal shape should continue on...

Wishing the happiest birthday to my favourite person. 🥰
