Difficulties of Buying and Selling Foreign Vehicles while Abroad
Read more: Difficulties of Buying and Selling Foreign Vehicles while AbroadWhile Ambulicious (The ambulance we converted and lived in for our first year of travel) and Dusty the Mudslinger (Our Landcruiser 100 series with a rooftop tent) served us well for the last 7 years on the road, we always knew that they wouldn’t be our forever vehicles. The way we travel evolves as we…

Chocó Colombia Part 2 of 3: Utría National Park
Read more: Chocó Colombia Part 2 of 3: Utría National ParkAfter arriving in Nuquí following a terrible boat ride, we were looking forward to putting that behind us and having some amazing experiences.

Chocó. Colombia’s Nearly Inaccessible Pacific Coast Part 1 of 3
Read more: Chocó. Colombia’s Nearly Inaccessible Pacific Coast Part 1 of 3After returning from the Amazon, we took a short flight to the Pacific Coast to Bahía Solano. We’d been wanting to explore this region since arriving in Colombia. Mostly because we know it’s fairly inaccessible and as such, probably less inhabited, less touristy and more authentic. Even searching for flights took a few days, but…

We had thought that spending our Christmas holiday on the islands would have been loud and rowdy, but it was anything but that. Because the Galapagos islands are a National Park and all the non-domesticated species on the island are…

Isabela Island, Galapagos: What to do?
Read more: Isabela Island, Galapagos: What to do?The consensus of all three of us is… We wish we’d stayed longer on Isabela Island. It was the most peaceful, least congested and had the worst internet of all three islands we visited, but the sheer number of things to do on the island definitely outnumbered the activities on the other islands. Most things…

Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos
Read more: Santa Cruz Island, GalapagosAfter a very confusing morning at the airport and getting onto the Galapagos Islands, we were excited to finally be welcomed at our hotel very warmly. We were showed to our room and got set up for the week. But after that first day, the staff seemingly vanished. They were nowhere to be found…

The Galapagos Islands- Know Before you Go!
Read more: The Galapagos Islands- Know Before you Go!First things first, decide your budget… Then the length of stay then what Islands you plan to visit. Your budget will determine what you can do and essentially whether or not you’ll have enough money to eat more than the menu del día 3 times a day. Getting onto the Islands is pretty expensive. There…
