In this week's email:
- Happy pride month!
- I have recently noticed quite a lot of discrimination towards me, as a woman, in airports, and I am curious to know if you have seen that too
- Our second Galapagos luxury sailing launch was an absolute success and sold out in less than a week so we have added another date immediately before. If you missed out, this is your chance to snatch a spot with the same $1,000 launch offer
- This week's podcast episode is a deep and meaningful talk with Fatima, former Afghan tour guide who had to flee the country when the Taliban took over and moved to Italy as a refugee. She has just graduated from university there and we talk about ethical travel in a country where women are as oppressed as Afghanistan. Does travel, and influencers portraying a normalised version of the country, do good or bad in this context?
Happy Pride month!
I am from a small coastal town in Spain called Sitges that is a very well known gay destination and has been since I was a child. Pride is huge here and happened just last weekend.
Meg and I had a good time going out on Friday on her last night here. It has become a sort of tradition for us to go out at least on one of the nights when we are together which is not very often.
We hope you got to participate in the celebrations from wherever you are.
Our 2nd Galapagos sailing of 2027 is live - $1,000 Launch offer
Our 2026 Galapagos sailing sold out pretty fast, and then we launched a sailing for December 2027 and it was booked out in less than a week so we have launched another date for Nov/Dec 2027 that will be the last one for the year.
This departure also has a launch offer of limited spots at $1,000 USD off, so don't wait up if you want to avail of one.
If Galapagos has ever been a destination you wanted to visit, this is your chance to do it in style aboard a new eco-friendly, female-owned, designer catamaran that is carbon-neutral and solar-powered. This is the newest boat to sail the Galapagos and went live only this last April.
To say that it is beautiful would be an understatement.
Expect gourmet fine dining meals, attention to detail, service that hugs you warmly, a great naturalist and spacious cabins and decks that feel like a floating luxury hotel.
Here are the details:
- Dates: 25 November to 2 December 2027, or 24 November to 4 December if you add the Quito extension, a city well worth visiting
- Who: Maximum of 14 guests, and 2 single cabins
- Crew: 11 crew members taking care of your every need
- Dietary needs: All dietary needs can be catered for onboard
BOOK GALAPAGOS The itinerary
During the 8 days onboard, we will visit the best islands and spots in the Galapagos. I have recently spent 3 weeks there, plus 2 more last year, and have explores many of the islands. I can testify the combo in this itinerary is just perfect.
Islands visited: San Cristobal Island – Española – Floreana – Santa Cruz – Genovesa – Santiago – Santa Fe – Bartholomew
We will get to see almost all animals that call the Galapagos home, from white tip and hammerhead sharks to penguins, flamingos to large colonies or sea lions, sea turtles, lots of tropical fish, land and marine iguanas, dolphins, cormorants, frigate birds, red and blue-footed boobies, giant tortoises, petrels, finches, and so much more.
We will kayak, snorkel, swim, visit beaches, go on guided hikes, on dinghy rides and generally enjoy each spot from all angles.
