Welcome to the Letty, one of 3 yachts run by Ecoventura in the Galapagos! Along with 17 other guests of all ages, backgrounds and personalities we boarded the Letty with our two guides Cecibel and Gustavo and nine other crew members.

Gaining an Appreciation of Birding in the Galapagos
I have never been a fan of birds. In Costa Rica a few years ago I can vividly remember standing with a couple we met for about an hour with my neck craned looking into the trees and the hundreds of birds flying above us. After that experience I questioned why anyone would ever want […]
Accepting Our Role As Corporate Hippies

You’ve Traveled the World…and You’re Going Where Now???
We’ve spent the year traveling through Southeast Asia, Southern Africa and South America. We hiked to Machu Picchu, cruised in the Galápagos Islands, driven ourselves through Botswana and Namibia, fought off mosquitos in the Amazon Jungle and learned to dive in Gili Air, Indonesia.

What We are Thankful For Today
I sat down to write what I am thankful for. I got stuck. I sat at my keyboard staring at a blank screen, asking myself where do I start? After 30 minutes of writing, I deleted everything. Nothing I could write could explain the deep gratitude I have felt this year. I turned to Josh […]
