Quito is a strange place. A contradiction really. On one end of the city you have the "New Town" which reminds me alot of Beaumont Street or Darby Street in Newcastle. Its cosmopolitan - cafés, restaurants, hostels and hotels nestled amongst ... Read more >

Imagine walking on islands that have never been inhabitied. Each step you take may be treading on the ground never walked on by another. Imagine swimming & snorkelling for hours in bright blue water with floating sea turtles, curious sea lions, ... Read more >

Isla Isabela is a place here in Galápagos that was recommended to me by many travellers as a nice place to visit, so I booked a 3 day trip to see what it was like. I had high expectations, which were exceeded completely! This has been my favourite place ... Read more >

Morning nomads. With fingers intact its time to go diving finally. It's off to the dive shop by 7 am so another early start. Why can't vacation days start at 9 or 10 in the morning instead of 6 am? Oh well off I go. At the dive shop its ... Read more >
