South America

A continent with a strong character that is currently at the top of our travel wish list for longer trips. In the east, the Andes rise and extend on a stately length from north to south. The large plains on the west side create space for rural places. All in all, a continent full of life – we won’t miss this impression any more soon!

About us

We are Paddy and Mimi, a travel-hungry couple from tiny Switzerland in the middle of Europe. We call ourselves slow travelers, because we like to spend enough time in one place or country. Therefore we don’t only visit the typical sights but also get to know the culture of the respective country.

Our current location:

Galápagos, Ecuador
