Floripa, short for Florianopolis, is an island off the coast of Brazil. It’s a big city but has some very idyllic locations. Sunset by the bay is a romantic experience and the views are amazing! The prawns there are chunky and delicious!

Life on the Galapagos Islands is tough. After foraging for food all morning it’s time for a nap! This fellow was caught taking a well deserved snooze in our hotel :)
Sharing Andean Tales
There’s something wonderful about seeing people floating around in traditional garb. We spotted these ladies while walking around Chivay in the Peruvian Andes. They were standing there exchanging stories about what’s new in town. I couldn’t resist. Chivay is a quaint little town at about 3300m altitude in the Colca … more »
Funky Moai
Not all Moai’s are historic ruins. This fellow sits in the middle of Hanga Roa, Easter Island and has some pretty funky tattoos on his back! That’s some pretty interesting artwork – I wonder what it means..

The grass is always greener on the other side
We met this fella in a monkey reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon. As the cities around the Amazon extended, part of the Amazon was deforested and the animals found their natural habitat destroyed.

Gingerbread house by Gaudi
Barcelona is a city with startling architecture. Littered with the dreamy houses, parks, and cathedrals created by the mastermind Gaudi. This is a gingerbread house found in Park Guell. Gaudi took his inspiration from nature and didn’t believe in straight lines. As you can see this house is a delight … more »
