Hey guys! If you haven't seen the buzz going around the travel community, there is an awesome new photo round up posts and I am taking part in HostelBookers 7 Super Shots. Basically, you scour your photos for the best ones that you feel fit perfectly in the categories listed. So I'm super proud of… Continue reading 7 Super shots with @Hostelbookers
***Please excuse the picture quality as we took the pics on my iPhone 3GS. I had no clue what we were getting into.*** If there is one thing on this earth that Shaun and I are not ashamed to spend money on, it would be food. Living in Austin has spoiled our taste buds and… Continue reading A Foodie Experience at Tiesto’s in Cuenca, Ecuador
I did the one thing I said I would NEVER do. I guess when my mother asked me, "If your friend jumped off a bridge, would you?" didn't properly sink in as a child - because I went puenting. I, Erica, who is deathly afraid of heights, jumped off a bridge in Banos, Ecuador. And… Continue reading Episode 19 – Puenting: Banos, Ecuador
We have been in a video frenzy lately due to our travels and adventures in Banos, Ecuador. To be honest, I don't think pictures would have accurately captured our experiences. One of the must do/must see things in Banos is to go on a 60km downhill bike ride that happens to give you the opportunity… Continue reading Episode 18 – Waterfall Tour – Biking in Ecuador
Another thing conquered in my Adventure Girl series - we freaking ROCKED at white water rafting in Ecuador. I wasn't scared for a moment (adrenaline talking?) and had complete faith that our team would do our best. The water was intense, bumpy and kept splashing in my face but I had a grin plastered to… Continue reading Episode 17 – White Water Adventure in Banos, Ecuador
I was that little girl. You know, the one who asked a million questions. The one who challenged social norms. The one who couldn't for the life of her, understand why the boys in her church group got to go whitewater rafting and rappelling while the girls had to stay put and make quilts for… Continue reading Geotours: Taking My Adventure Virginity in Banos, Ecuador
If you haven't been able to tell by now, we have been on a very serious Couchsurfing kick. Not only are we having some of the most amazing experiences but are meeting incredibly rad people. We mainly went to Banos due to a bazillion people talking about the rafting, rappelling, bungee jumping, and crazy things… Continue reading Feeling at Home in Banos Ecuador
We stepped off the bus into unfamiliar territory as a cloud of smoke and dust plumed around us and the bus lurched away. Ominous clouds formed overhead (attributing to our rain curse of course) and Shaun and I looked around curiously. So this is what “Middle Earth” looks like. Or, in other words, the quaint… Continue reading A Lack of Hobbits in Middle Earth, Ecuador
We made our way back to Quito, Ecuador from Montanita due to a skatepark Shaun wanted to cover on his Boarderless skateboarding blog. Honestly, I wasn’t thrilled to visit. After hearing about several thefts of camera gear from multiple people, I was a bit concerned about running around with all the gear that we do.… Continue reading Who the Hell Goes to Quito, Ecuador?!
Oh how time flies and we’re already in the epic country of Peru. While we do have other plans for 2012 it is weird to think we’re already on our last leg of this tour. And while we have been hostel hopping and Couchsurfing to push though the last bit of our budget, we are… Continue reading Hostel Hopping with Hostelbookers!
***I know we're a bit late on this post but better late than never?*** I think there is something wrong with us. We knew we had to get from Medellin, Colombia to Montanita, Ecuador in one day and somehow we took a 22 hour travel period with no complaints. I think my patience is becoming… Continue reading A Fiery Start to the Year in Montanita, Ecuador
After being nominated by both D Travels 'Round AND Breakaway Backpacker, I figured I might as well give this a shot. So here I go on the bandwagon! Welcome to our Travel A-Z! A: Age you made your first international trip I personally don't count Mexico as I was brought up in El Paso and… Continue reading Over Yonderlust’s Travel A-Z
We're making this week a video week (we're making up for lost time due to our stolen camera). We finally left Colombia after spending 6 glorious weeks there (and had only intended on 2). Since we got our replacement camera in Bogota, we are missing quite a bit of our adventures in Colombia but I… Continue reading Episode 16 – Momentos: Colombia Video
After wandering the streets of Banos, Ecuador looking for a decent wifi connection, we finally bring you Episode 15 - one I'm so proud of and I'm stoked to show you. This one goes down in history as one of the most special nights on our travels and one I will hold dear to my… Continue reading Episode 15 – Lanterns in Medellin, Colombia
We came to Cali, Colombia not knowing what to expect. We had just heard from the backpacker trail that is was the capital of salsa and we had to come. Shaun had promised me some time on the dance floor and I was going to take advantage of his promise. From Shaun skateboarding all over… Continue reading Photo Friday: Cali, Colombia – Cali Pictures
