We love travel; backpacking, hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, sight seeing, camping or skydiving; whatever package it comes in. We hope to travel, to see, to feel and experience as much of this planet as possible. Mobile bases: California, USA to Calgary & Toronto in Canada, Brazil and Germany. With no permanent "dwelling", home is something we carry around in our backpacks, literally. P.S : Sometimes, the experience of the place is bigger than expressible in words. Hence, pending many blog updates...working on it... cheers -travelbuffs... full info

Excellent description, very useful!
The title says it all, just wanted to point out a minor thing. The 500mm lens is not a macro. Its plain Telephoto lens. The longest macro designed till date is the 180mm one. Also how can we book the hostels? do we go there and book a room, or do you book from here prior to planning a trip?
