Last week we had a great #TRLT’s Twitter Travel chat on LESSONS.

In the summer of 2015 Kees and I had an unquestionable Sihpromatum when we were forced by altitude to reroute our South America trip and ended up in Ecuador. It took me quite a bit of effort to persuade him to take the relatively far journey to Galápagos […]
What a special country!!!! Although I’ve been to Paris several times, including a trip for my 21st birthday, and have loved it each time. The countryside and small villages is where I get the most pleasure when travelling through France. We’ve driven through and stayed more times than […]
