Bolivia

Copacabana is a nice town just before the border with Peru, situated on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Most travellers spend a day or two in the town and a night on the Isla del Sol, an over-hyped guidebook island. It’s a nice town with a good vibe, however, and many travellers stay much longer.

The lake is incredible. It’s a massive freshwater lake flanked by huge snow-capped mountains. From the boat ride heading towards the Isla del Sol there is a breathtaking view of the Cordillera Real. On a very clear day, it is even possible to see the Cordillera Apolobamba, eight hours away by car.

The town itself sees a lot of travellers, and there is a decent budget travel industry established. There are several cool bars with live music and a lot of Argentineans make it this far north. It’s a good place to score weed for those who are looking. Ask at the bars and you should have luck in no time.

M.J Lloyd was born and raised on a small farm in rural Ohio. At the age of 18 he hit the road to Alaska with a meager savings and no plan. Over the next 2 years he wandered in search of real answers and a livable life. The journey has taken him through three continents, various loves, battles with the loneliness and insanity of the road, and extreme poverty. Though the lessons haven’t been easy, he has learned much from the trail, and has reached a much happier and more peaceful understanding on the nature of his life.
