I love avocados and chocolate. Together they make my favorite dessert with minimal effort.

Admittedly - before I arrived in South America, I myself had some concerns when I thought more carefully about the idea of sleeping a lot in nature. Hardly any person I met before the beginning of my journey had anything good to say about South America - no matter which country. It appears to be a great need for many people to warn of possible dangers in the countries one is travelling to. That the dicey situations, which are shared with you without asking for it, did not usually happen to the narrator, but to the friend of an acquaintance, doesn't matter.

I admit that I don't always succeed in this, but in order to be dissuaded from a project, it takes more than the widespread fear of the unknown, which seems to live in many people.

A couple of days ago we returned from the Galapagos Islands, a place that, first of all, I never expected to actually exist and secondly, one (or more precise: me) could ever visit. For a long time we questioned ourselves whether we really want to afford to go to a place that so openly is categorized as being highly expensive. After doing a lot of research I found a couple of Blogs that wrote about affordable accommodation and the possibility of Last Minute Cruises and eventually we searched for a flight. When we stumbled upon a unmatched price we gave in. This is our collection on how to travel the Galapagos on the superduper cheap cheap.
