Exploring Ecuador ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ


Hola Reader!

I'm currently traveling around country 42nd, Ecuador, with my parents! I love that even though I live so far away, I can still enjoy exploring new places with the ones who made me fall in love with travel in the first place. This was supposed to be a solo trip, but glad to be able to spend time together especially since I now live far away.

On the 3rd day of the Brazil Group Trip we did a hike to another beach on the island. It was a bit challenging but the girls pulled through and enjoyed the day! Watch the full video.

Zipline from Spain to Portugal

This is the most unique way to cross from one country to another. Up until a few months before I did this I had no idea it was even possible. Add it to your itinerary and get the full details below.

๐Ÿค” Where to next?

For the next week I'll continue traveling around Ecuador. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ I won't have time to make it to the Galapagos this time around but planning to make a group trip here in the future.

After wrapping up here I'll be back in Lima, Peru for 4 days to spend time with some family before heading back to Portugal to see Bebino!

Hola Reader! It's been nice being back in Lisbon especially now that the weather is getting better. For the month of May, many parks around the city are hosting 'Jardins Abertos' (open gardens) especially ones that are rarely open to the public. Some are open but cost a fee, but for the days they're open for this event they are free. I'm looking to start a separate list to share Lisbon related activities so let me know if you live in the city and/or plan to visit and want the tips. Do you...

Hola Reader! My month long trip around Peru and Ecuador is coming to an end and I'm getting ready to head back to Portugal. This morning I woke up to news that power is currently out in Portugal, Spain, and parts of France and Germany.
