Quito is safe they said. I wasn’t worried if Quito was dangerous. It was just curiosity. But you never know these days. Rest assured everyone told me that Quito was safe. I always like to learn about a country on a drive from the airport. This certainly wasn’t the Ecuador that I knew of. I […]
Watching The Superbowl Galapagos Style
Was the Superbowl really that weekend? I just couldn’t go to the Galapagos and miss the biggest sporting event televised across the United States could I? Sarcasm ends here. The land iguanas found all over the island aren’t afraid of people at all. We were walking around the island of Baltra to see the land […]
Land Iguana in Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
The land iguanas at the Galapagos Islands were something else to experience. Most can be said for much of the wildlife I was able to encounter across all of the islands we were able to visit. We were walking along a very rocky mountain path on the island called Seymour Norte on the last day […]
Learning How To Speak Colombian Spanish: Basic Expressions (With Video)
Its time to learn how to speak Colombian Spanish! Colombian Spanish basic expressions are quite similar to those of regular Spanish.

From pre-Columbian Taino-Indian petroglyphs to Spanish fortresses; gorgeous beaches to rainforest adventure parks: Puerto Rico is the kind of destination that draws thrill-seekers and history buffs alike.

The Visiting Catalunya (Catalonia) Experience: Spain
The Catalonia experience is the name of our new adventure in Spain. I have been humbly invited by the Catalonian Tourism board to tour the entire state/region of Catalonia for over a week!

Veggie Shopping in Goa, India
India is one of those places that you understand or you don’t. A fan on the WanderingTrader Facebook page set one day “there are two types of travelers, those who go to India and those who don’t”. Things are done in such a unique fashion in the country and shopping is no different. There are […]
A Gondolier In Venice, Italy
The Gondoliers in Venice are something else. Some get really into their roles and others just allow you to enjoy the ride.

Another unique feature of the bridge is that couples […]
