ECUADOR | Tuesday, 7 Jun 2016 | Views [607]

USA | Monday, 11 Jan 2016 | Views [407]

After months of planning, our trip is finally under way! We eased into it, staying in Waikiki which is well-developed, clean and scenic, if a little pricey. We're learning to do travelling the backpacker way, which meant staying in a hostel, catching ... Read more >
