As I mentioned in my last post (which I forgot to switch to "live", sorry!), I'm now in Cusco. The plan was to take an 8-hour bus trip across the border to Piura, fly from there to Lima, sleep in the airport for a few hours, and then fly on ... Read more >

The last two days here in Vilcabamba have been truly wonderful. It's an outstandingly beautiful place, a tiny town snuggled into the lush green Andes, which rise up on all sides. We stayed at Cabañas Rio Yambala, a handful of cosy adobe and wood cabins ... Read more >

After a cracking few days in Cuenca, one of the most beautiful cities I've been too, Jenn and I are now in Vilcabamba for a spot of hiking and relaxation. It's a beautiful little place from what we've seen so far, nestled in the green lower slopes of ... Read more >

Only one more week to go on the farm and I can’t wait to get going and see more of the country. One month would have sufficed really. I’m a little tired of being trapped in this tiny world consisting of the farm, Canoa – where there’s nothing to do ... Read more >

Hello
again! I’ve just been to one of the most incredible places on Earth and am

Mindo is a
lovely little town in the Andes and is where I’ve
spent the last three days with Nicol. Just over two hours from Quito, it’s such a stark contrast to the

The second week of the course is over now and it was just as good as the first. Again, we seem to have covered lots in quite a short time: organic pest management, plant nutrition, fertilizers, and lots more. I’m now able to identify different plant ... Read more >

Hello, I’m
in Quito.
Sitting in a very funky little internet café eating a huge bowl of fresh fruit,
