This year I spent New Years Eve in Ecuador and can honestly say it’s the most insane, strangest, craziest New Years celebration in all of South America (and for the world in that matter). I helped the locals burn down their city, chased the bad demons away for the coming year and supported the local [...]
Another long day at the writing class and time only for pictures. I know I’m like Jim Carry in Liar Liar about not writing the explanation for the lady boys on New Years. In fact I think I might have over blown this so much that no matter what I write it will be a [...]
I know I said I would tell you guys what these pictures mean today but I’ve run out of gas… sorry. Today I started day 1 of a 4 day writing course for Viva Guide Books. Their like a Lonely Planet guide book but they focus on Latin America only so far. Anyways, when the [...]
Ok I know I must be killing you all without the explanation as to why all these guys are dressed in drag but I think a few more pictures are in order before I give the whole breakdown of Ecuador’s tradition for New Years. So I promise to tell you all tomorrow as what happened. [...]
I thought about writing a full detailed list of what I did this year for New Years in Ecuador… but thought better of that and decided to just post some pictures first. Yeah, yeah I’ll give you the full run down later but pictures are worth a thousand words and to fully appreciate where I [...]
We’re going into 2010 and I want to know what your thoughts are on certain aspects of the website. I created a short survey with 10 questions, that should only take about 2min to fill out. Please if you would, fill it out to the best of your ability and let me know what you [...]
Today I am officially out of my 20′s. I’m so sad about this in many ways but it’s a part of life you have to deal with I guess. 30′s just has a bad ring to it for me though. Anyways, I woke up this morning to a pancake (for real she made a cake [...]
Sorry for being gone the last couple of days. I figured you wouldn’t read anything I wrote anyways, as everyone should have been spending Christmas with family and loved ones. As for me, I spent the holidays here in Quito, Ecuador (by-the-way- Ecuador is in South America and not Africa as some people have been [...]
This is Part II of the series from my day with the kids at a daycare here in Quito, Ecuador. If you want to see the full article I wrote on this, with all the photos (almost 25 total) check out the GoBackpacking piece I wrote on it below. I hope everyone is enjoying the [...]
As promised, photos from my day at the daycare with the kids. Between the sugar highs and wide eyes, the pictures came out great I think.
Since having this blog I have always wanted to meet some like minded travel bloggers someday in person. Last night I finally got to and met up with Jason Castellani & Aracely Santos from www.twobackpackers.com. I have been following their site off and on since they left the US and when I seen a twit update [...]
After being in Ecuador for 6 months now, I thought this year for Christmas I would give back. The girlfriend had told me about this daycare house here in Quito that had a lot of little kids that were 5 and under. Most of these kids are pretty poor and don’t have a lot. So [...]
