Where to Wednesday
Guayaquil, Ecuador!
Guayaquil is commonly known to be a connection city between you and the Galapagos Islands, however, there is more to discover here. If you decide to stay close to the city, you could visit places like Malecon 2000, or Las Peñas neighborhood, but you probably already googled that ;)
So let’s go deeper, how does a local, still family-run hacienda sound to you? Chocolate making, farm-to-table dining, outdoor activities, retreat-style accommodations, relaxed luxury, spa, and much more.
So, think about it…it could be your first stop before you go to the Galapagos Islands or your second one on the way to the middle of the world!

Why buying Travel Insurance should be a MUST for you next trip
Some people skip travel insurance altogether thinking "well, nothing will happen to me", however, let's be honest, mishaps happen at any time and even to the savviest travelers.
Your medical insurance and credit card might cover you for some reasons, for some amounts, but most probably won't cover you outside the USA. It is always important to double-check and not assume. Medical attention can become very expensive very fast when you travel abroad, and if you need to be evacuated, it could cost you more than your whole trip.
Cancellation windows and rebook policies given by our travel partners have been incredibly flexible, but as COVID is starting to become "more common" and "less scary", these policies are phasing out.
Also, there are the CFAR (Cancel for any reason) policies. Think about your daughter or friend getting married during the same dates that you had planned your African Safari, or you want to attend the birth of your grandchild, niece/nephew? These are situations that can be covered by a CFAR policy.
Travel insurance is always a good idea, especially now. It will cost you a small percentage of your overall trip but provide the protection you need to travel with peace of mind.
Do you have any questions about travel insurance? This is just one of the things I help my clients with as part of their travel planning.

I heard that it's snowing in Seattle... And guess what? Although I love the snow, I love the sun way more!
Can you recognize this beach?
It's located on the Northeast side of O'ahu, far away from the crowds and the big hotels, excellent for snorkeling, surfing, and also for kids! Who would think that a beach could be kid friendly and you could surf as well?!?
It's called the Aweoweo Beach park, and very close to here was where the plane crash scene from "Lost" was recorded.
Off-the-beaten-path? Sign me up!

I love traveling, but there is something I enjoy more, and it's traveling with my little family. Being on the move with my husband and little daughter has become my favorite pastime.
It challenges us as grown-ups and, at the same time, teaches her way more than what we could ever teach her at home or even school.
Traveling with kids can be daunting for some, but a few little changes can make it way easier to deal with:
🐤For the flight: snacks and lollipops! Kids love munching and well, the planes don't usually have what they like, so fill up your handbag with their favorite snacks.
🐤Foldable stroller and car seat, yes, car seat! Keep your regular car seat at home; some strollers in the market fold and fit in the overhead bin, and the same thing with the car seat(for higher kids). This will have you outbound faster and safer while on transfers.
🐤Find kid-friendly activities, take breaks while on long transfers, and do not rush. Kids like to absorb, ask questions and do everything at their own pace. Ask your agent to get you a kid-friendly guide that will adapt the tour to include your kids. Otherwise, you will end up with bored/crying kids.
Did these tips help? Let me know in the comments would love to hear what other information you have for fellow travelers.
Pro-tip: One of the best ways to get to see Sydney's Harbour is by taking the local ferries.
Conveniently located near the Rocks area and it runs to many destinations throughout the day and night!
Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃 I know what you are thinking... what does this Koala has to do with Halloween...but look at it??

Whales!!
If the ☀️ shines in the Pacific Northwest, it’s all about the Whales! 🐋
Recent studies show that Whales migrate thousands of miles to warmer waters to molt. Such a long trip to start a new cycle in their skincare.😅
🇺🇸 Here you can spot orcas, humpbacks (in the video, can you see the water blowing?), minke whales, gray whales, porpoises, seals, and sea lions during the summer months.
In Latin America🌎, the seasons are a little different. 🤓
🇨🇷 Costa Rica: 🇨🇱From July to March, humpback Whales. Making it one of the countries with the longest season for Whale watching.
🇨🇱Chiloé, Chile: from late January to March, the most diverse sightings destination in South America.
🇪🇨Galapagos Islands, Ecuador: their nutrient-rich water makes it a year-round destination for whale watching, yet, the higher number of sightings happen from July to November.
🇦🇷Valdéz Peninsula, Argentina: special location because you can see the whales from land. February to early March to see Orcas hunting sea lions onshore.
Have you gone whale watching around the world? Where was your favorite spot?
