My friends who love schedules and itineraries would strongly disagree with me, but I believe the best travel adventures are the ones that are unplanned and spontaneous!

When boarding our flight to Guayaquil two years ago, I never anticipated that our South American honeymoon would end in a trip to the Galápagos Islands. Our time in Ecuador was rocky to say the very least, and without getting into too much detail, I was in desperate need of alone time with my new husband. A four-day stay on San Cristóbal Island was exactly what I/we needed, and the ‘secret’ beaches we discovered were even more enticing.

Whether you’re planning a long-weekend or long-term vacation, try going without an itinerary; you won’t regret it 🙂
