Roaming with Hammo
Canada
Приєднався 12 бер 2021
Hey! I'm James Hammond (or Hammo), a Vancouver-based travel podcaster showcasing my travels with weekly episodes. This channel contains my worldwide travel adventures, Vancouver (where I am currently based) and British Columbia, Canada.
Originally from Norwich, UK, I have lived in four countries and visited 70+ countries (UN Countries) to date. I also host The Winging It Travel Podcast, which began in February 2021 (check the links), and now I am sharing video content of my previous and current travels. I love roaming around, travelling to all corners of the globe, and feeding my curiosity about our world.
My channel mixes backpacking, adventure, city breaks, hiking, meeting great people, travel guides for first-time visits to places, coffee recommendations, road trips and hostel life. I have just completed a year trip with my partner Emma (@wanderandcreatewithemma) in 2023 with a lot of wanderlust, reflections, lessons learned, funny stories, + great tips.
Cheers, Hammo.

My Ultimate Packing List for A Month Trip In Central America
Welcome to my latest video, where I share my backpack for my monthly trip to Central America. I am visiting El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico, starting in San Salvador in El Salvador.
The aim is to reach Mexico City in a month by travelling overland using buses or hitchhiking. Although the dry season is approaching in this region, November is still the shoulder season, so there could be rain.
In this video, I share my packing list and essential items for my month-long backpacking trip across Central America.
I discuss the importance of choosing the right gear, including clothing, tech equipment, and toiletries, while emphasising the challenge of fitting everything into a carry-on backpack.
I have no idea if I have missed any items, taken too little, or not enough, but I think I have covered all bases.
Let's go roaming around Central America!!!

This is devastating, as I would love to showcase these in a video, but they are in ...

Interesting you chose to travel during the offseason
Packing Cubes! Get them for underware socks and t-Shirts. Makes life in Hostels so much easier.
I used one for my tech in the end but not clothes, I’m not a huge fan of them. I’ve gone with one compression pack which has worked a treat so far.
Enjoy brother
Hammo, This is a wonderful video. We appreciate your intelligent overview ... the map, the ferry logistics and cost. We really enjoyed your video, it gave us a sense of the island. Aloha
@@anahata7578 cheeeeeeeersssss Anahata and Aloha!! Glad I can help you out somehow. Not quite sure the beach matches Lanikai Beach but it is great for BC 😀
why do you need a car? Is there no public transportation on Hornby or enroute?
@@hedycampbell586 great question, definitely possible but the journey from Vancouver would be loooong. You would be relying on buses to work out from a timing perspective in line with ferry times and then getting across Denman Island to get the ferry to Hornby. A bicycle would work if you are biker. But a lot of coordination and time needed. For Hornby there is a small community bus I believe but that is it. It isn’t quite small enough to walk everywhere. Again a bike would help but a car would be easier imo.
Loved it!
Great being back in the camper!
Amazing..👌👌
@@celestialtranquility6593 thank you 😊
Amazing video mate!
@@theguitarfiles cheers dude!
Nice video thanks for sharing
@@barnchips thanks dude appreciate the comment.
Loved your video. I had no idea deep cove was so beautiful and such a cozy town! British Columbia always amazes me
@@user-fb6ns4zq2r thanks so much!! Yea an amazing part of the world, so lucky to have it on my door step.
Is the guide attached at the hip or does he leave you alone if you want?
Hi David, great question! He was with me for the hike, checkpoints, and organising the next accommodation. However, I had a rest day in Langtang Village, and he left me to explore the village for the day. Somewhere like the Everest region, it is not a fan of the policy and doesn't police it apart from the major hikes like Base Camp or Everest of course.
Amazing
Great last name!
Well in James! ❤
@@jamiestrings3354 cheers dude!
Subscribed ❤
@@michellelightlovereiki838 amazing thank you! The views are breathtaking up there 🙌
First❤❤❤❤❤
This video literally came out when I needed it the most!! Hope this is a sing to pack my bag and go! So you preferred overall Annapurna or this trek?
Awesome, glad to help. :) It's a tough choice between the two, but the Annapurna is a two-week trek to complete, so it depends on how much of a hike you want to do. Both are incredible, but I found Annapurna the hardest. Hopefully, you get that bag packed!
Which month? ❤❤
@@ShresthaYT this was May 🙌
@@roamingwithhammo cheers!
@@ShresthaYT No worries :)
❤
If you're island hopping on the west coast I would recommend the BC Ferries Experience card. It offers significant discounts on all the non-Vancouver routes. The circle tour around Vancouver island and the Sunshine coast is a personal favourite .
Outstanding trail man, views are simply unbelievable! 👏👏
Cheers @ervinslens appreciate the comment! You have done serious hikes on your UA-cam, awesome man! Will check them out! Hammo
Hi lake
Shhhhh!!! Don’t forget chronic affordable housing challenges for locals 🤔

Cool video!
thanks guys!
I live there
That’s incredible
Loved it
Love the video friend!!!! So grateful we met you! 🎉🥰
Thanks guys and can’t wait to see you guys again! 🙌🙌🥰
boring, gray, and too big....that is china.
Boring? Grey? and too big? Those comments must be from weebs. I love Seoul and want to go back so badly. Thanks for the video!
Yea unfortunately I read some quite disparaging views on Seoul which influenced my thoughts before I had even been there. I am so glad I went and experienced this great city. Thanks for your comment and we have a mutual appreciation for Seoul and a mutual distaste for weebs!
Can't wait to see your book in Powells one day! Such a good bookstore. So glad we crossed paths in PDX!
Thanks guys, you will be one of the first to receive it! So glad we met and keep in touch 🙌🙌 hopefully see you on the road.
I am a full-time digital marketer and virtual assistant. The services we provide cover aspects of social media advertising, Pinterest marketing, Data Entry,UA-cam video SEO and email marketing. Lead Generation. It will be a pleasure working with you. Thank you so much.
Incredible
Oh my gosh I LOVE the custom playing cards! I think I would've had to get one of those as well. You're gonna be our go-to for coffee recs!
Yea he told us that his son travels the world as a photographer then he creates them. What a combo! There are a few coffees I missed out as well 😅 but if you one, give me a shout!
That’s so cool!! That really is a perfect combo
Great video!! 😆 Loved seeing you go back to Cheryl’s. Also, it was lovely seeing the rose garden in the daytime. We went at night and used flashlights. 😂
Cheryl's has to always be on the list now! Haha you creeping around the Portland parks at night? You guys make me laugh!
@@roamingwithhammoLol 😂 We thought we were going to get kidnapped.
I love all the coffee adorations.also we missed Salt and straw!! Bah!! Also, you should come hike with us in Asheville! You covered so many places-so jealous! You found a view! If you want more than “average donuts” we got an Asheville spot for you… best donuts in the world
I have added Asheville to my list! The average donuts comment might get some controversy ha!
@@roamingwithhammo we agree though, voodoo was mid for us too
@@ChrisandEllen great minds think alike
What a great video, Hammo!! We miss you!
I miss you guys too! WE NEED TO ARRANGE TO SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!
@@roamingwithhammo yes!! 🙌
You’ve been to some pretty awesome places. Nice trailer
Thanks for the nice comment; I am very lucky, indeed. Where is your favourite place?
First time came to know about Nafplio. Complete guided video & amazingly beautiful place. Keep it up 👍
Thank you and appreciate the comment 🙏 😊
Whilst Athens is just okay. The south or the Peloponnese has far more to offer.
I love both and went to Peloponnese afterwards (my latest video) 😊
@@roamingwithhammo oh, i will look for it.
Beautiful
