Travel inspiration for wannabe nomads!
The Galapagos islands are on many peoples bucket lists, but deciding which islands to visit and whether to do a cruise or not is a difficult choice! After much research, check out our tips for making the most out of your time on these beautiful islands!
The best part of the Galapagos islands is arguably what happens in the waters surrounding the islands. We were lucky to snorkel a number of times on our trip, swimming with turtles, sea lions, sting rays and even (gulp) sharks!
As we sailed on our catamaran, we encountered a pod of over 200 dolphins who swam alongside us and began launching themselves out of the water! Possibly our favourite part of our Galapagos experience!

Enjoy our photo journey through South Plaza Island, a stunning part of the Galapagos Islands group! Relaxed iguanas, birds and beautiful scenery!

With our love for Peruvian food growing by the minute, it didn’t take us long to sign up for a ‘Peruvian Cooking Experience’ in Arequipa and get our chef hats on, literally! On the menu today, ceviche and pescado a la macho!
Days 2 & 3 of our journey across Bolivia, as we see some more incredible rock formations, sleep in a hotel made of salt and finally reach the other worldly salt flats!
After leaving San Pedro de Atacama in northern Chile, we took a dusty and bumpy 3 day jeep journey through the northern highlands of Chile into Bolivia en route to the famous salt flats!
