El Cafecito Travel Talks

Lotte Heeman from Holland, as a result of a lifestyle change, was able to lose 30kg which then inspired her to climb Mount Mount Kilimanjaro. On summiting the mountain it triggered her to continue the journey and become a world traveller.

Lotte on her one year anniversary on the road, tells us about transitioning into a traveller at 42 and being wiser than her younger backpacker years. She believes that anyone can do it. Yes, it's hard to leave your loved ones behind but the new experiences and acquaintances that you make along the way will more than compensate.
