Otavalo in Ecuador is a pretty little town, a couple of hours bus ride north of Quito. It’s largely famous for its market, which, to be honest, didn’t totally blow us away. It was very nice and all, but it wasn’t exactly a reason to visit this particular town over many others in Ecuador and […]

The Ultimate Travel Packing List for Digital Nomads
Packing! It can be the most difficult part of travel. Deciding what to take, what to leave behind, what to wish you’d brought with you. With this in mind we’ve put together our ultimate list for travel packing, based around our experiences from years of adventure. We’ve also sprinkled some photos in from our travels, […]
And Tarzan Was Jealous: Treehouse Living In The Galapagos
Note: since we wrote this post and stayed in this treehouse in 2013, a reader has let us know via comment that the treehouse is sadly no more. You can still visit the property and there is still unique accommodation on site, but it is not the same experience we write about. We will leave […]
Riding the Devil’s Nose Train in Ecuador
Trains! I’ve already expressed my love for their intrinsically romantic nature in this post, and had the luck to experience some fantastically scenic journeys in my life so far. Suffice to say, I’m a fan of the train as a means of getting from A to B, even if the activity upon arriving at B […]
Galway and its Hookers
Okay, let me get this straight off your dirty minds: a Galway Hooker is a boat, people; a boat! Now that we cleared that up (and had 95% of people leave the site immediately), I would like to get back to the topic, and that is Galway, which is the name of both a city […]
Hiking, biking, cycling and more! An adventure tour of the Galapagos
The Galapagos! Yes, I think I will start every post about the Galapagos like that. They are just such an awesome place to visit! Which was something we recently had the very distinctive pleasure of doing, on a 10 day adventure tour with GalaKiwi. The thing is, when you tell most people that you are […]
The Best Bars in Poznan for Beer
Yes, it’s me again, the German lady who doesn’t like beer, and I am going to talk to you about… beer! No, I still don’t like beer, but I gained a whole lotta respect for beer culture, and I thought I’d spread the word. Okay, I’m saying that like I ever thought there was such […]
One Day in London: What to See, Do and Not Miss
I lived in central London for a couple of years, and Jess and I still visit regularly. So when I’m asked what to do with just one day in the city, I have a pretty well-tested answer. This is a walking itinerary that takes you from the Tower of London to the West End, covering […]
In Photos: From the Facebook Page XIII
Lucky number 13! Time for another round up post of some of the most popular images that we’ve shared on our Facebook Page over the last couple of months. Since the last post we’ve been busy touring Brazil, Ecuador and the Galapagos, so naturally we have photos from those adventures in this collection – as […]
The Galapagos: Boobies and… Coffee?!
I’m not saying you’ll have a hard time finding souvenirs to bring home from your trip to the Galapagos, what with the shops on the bigger inhabited islands. But maybe you suspect T-shirts saying “I love Boobies” (referring to the famous bird you can spot here, the blue or red footed booby, of course) are […]
