Breathtaking Quito
Quito is probably a real estate agent’s dream: "Location, location, location!" The location is indeed breathtaking – and due to the altitude (about 2,900 meters) in more than one way. Continue reading Breathtaking Quito

Farewell to Galapagos
My Galapagos cruise ended in San Cristóbal. After my cruise, I explored this island for three more days on my own – and it truly was a worthy conclusion to my stay in Galapagos. Continue reading Farewell to Galapagos
