Nele lost her heart to Latin America when she completed an internship at a hotel in Santa Teresa on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica in 2023 as part of her tourism studies. From the very beginning, she was impressed by the joy of life, serenity, and especially the warmth of the people. After her internship, she traveled around the country for several weeks and discovered the incredible diversity of Costa Rica.

What is it about Latin America that never lets go of me? The nature, the animals, and the warmth of the people—which makes every trip something truly unique.

Auf meiner Bucket List

Patagonien

Eine Reise nach Patagonien steht ganz oben auf meiner Bucket List. Ich möchte die beeindruckende Natur des Südens Südamerikas entdecken. Von den spektakulären Wanderwegen im Torres-del-Paine-Nationalpark über die gewaltigen Gletscher der Region bis hin zu den wilden Landschaften rund um El Chaltén. Der Fokus soll dabei ganz auf Wandern und unberührter Natur liegen.

Nächste Reise

Ecuador

Meine nächste Reise führt mich wieder nach Ecuador. Ich möchte das Land noch intensiver kennenlernen und nicht nur die bekannten Highlights sehen, sondern tiefer in die Vielfalt des Landes eintauchen. Besonders freue ich mich darauf, die Anden, die einzigartige Natur und die verschiedenen Regionen des Landes zu entdecken

She was particularly impressed by the breathtaking nature and the unique biodiversity. She describes her time in Costa Rica as a journey full of adventures and unforgettable moments. From horseback riding on the beach at sunset in Santa Teresa to relaxing hours in the hot springs at the foot of the Arenal Volcano, to hiking through Corcovado National Park and whale watching off the coast of Uvita.

Afterwards, she spent another two weeks in Mexico. Although the country conveyed entirely different impressions, she was immediately captivated by the openness and warmth of the people there as well. Personal highlights for her include the impressive Mayan site of Chichén Itzá, swimming in the crystal-clear cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula, the dreamy sunrises on the Caribbean coast, and the relaxed island of Holbox.

Just a year later, she was drawn back to South America - this time to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands. She fell in love with this destination immediately as well. Above all, her time on the Galápagos Islands is among her most extraordinary travel experiences ever. Even today, she raves about snorkeling with sea lions, encounters with giant tortoises, and the fascinating wildlife that can be experienced up close there.

Nele is fascinated by Latin America mainly because of the combination of impressive and unique nature and wildlife, exciting culture, and the warm-hearted people who make every trip so special.

Her next dream? A trip to Patagonia. With its spectacular mountain landscapes, massive glaciers, and untouched nature, this region is at the top of her personal wish list.
