[NEW BLOG POST] Been a minute I know, but been having too much fun on this adventure! If you want a weekly update of my South American travels follow my facebook page of the same name 😊 Anyway up on the blog is five things to do to get to know Quito, Ecuador’s capital city. Five things I talk about correlating to my pics are 1. Exploring the historical centre, 2. Visiting La Ronda at night where I got to have a boogie 3. Climbing the magnificent Basílica de Voto Nacional towers 4. Picking up artisanal goodies at the local market and 5. Visiting the tallest aluminium statute in the world. . Link is in the bio! If you’ve never thought about visiting Ecuador before do! And make Quito your gateway into this splendid land! . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #quitoecuador #ecuador🇪🇨 #discoversouthamerica #seetheworldwithme #sudamerica #cornersofmyworld #mytraveldiary #blacktravelblogger #ecuadoramalavida #visitaquito #visitecuador #slowtravel #travelinladies #blkcreatives #travelandlearn #bestplacestogo #seekandfind #everydaylatinamerica #whereintheworld

THE IMPORTANCE OF SEIZING THE MOMENT So I went to visit this beauty 😍 Stunning right? We hiked down to get a closer look and me being me wanted to dip my feet in. I almost talked myself out of it cos no one was doing it, my Danish bro was like ‘nah don’t do it’ and I even said I’ll do it later and then I was like why? JUST DO IT NOW. And that’s the shot you see me smiling as I dip my feet in. Within 5 mins the weather changed drastically as I put my shoes back on (swipe along) That shot of me smiling with my feet in this beautiful crater lake would not be in existence. Not a big deal you might say but if I hadn’t seized that moment of just doing it then and there I wouldn’t have got my dip. I like when I learn simple lessons on my travels or have them reinforced. What lessons have you learnt on travels? . P.s. I got stone cold drenched that rain did not let up!! . . . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #lessonsfromtheworld #discoversouthamerica #seizethemoment #mytraveldiary #girlvsglobe #travelinladies #quilotoa #ecuador🇪🇨 #craterlake #visitecuador #ecuadoramalavida #cornersofmyworld #slowtravel #sudamerica #blackgirltravel #passionpassport #blacktravelfeed #momentsofmylife #girlsborntotravel

’We are all creatures of comfort’ . I have enjoyed my time in Quito immensely. It has begun to feel like home as I walk the streets to school and the lady I’ve passed several times over the month recognises me, smiles & says ‘Buenos dias.’ I have begun to wander aimlessly not afraid of being lost much like I do in London. I even found my way to my dance class without the need of my Google maps. 💪🏾I knew choosing Quito would be the best place for me, being a city girl myself. I love the historical architecture, the beautiful churches, the street food (pincho is my favourite) and the fact the Virgin Mary sits overlooking the city. I will certainly miss this place. I could easily stay on in Quito but that would be the easy option, its time for the next challenge (armed with my baby Spanish) . I will always have a soft spot for you Quito 💕 P.s I still plan to post about Quito, it deserves the spotlight. . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #quitoecuardor #discoversouthamerica #sudamerica #visitecuador #girlvsglobe #quitocity #afrolatina #homeawayfromhome #mytraveldiary #ecuadorturistico #cornersofmyworld #slowtravel #travelwithpassion #mytraveldiary #travelnoire #newdestinations #ecuador🇪🇨 #placestosee #travelinladies

[NEW BLOG POST] I get a bit philosophical on here (which is not something I do so publicly) but wanted to talk about the value of a 9 to 5 job giving you perspective about life and travel. And you will find out what I hope to learn out here in Ecuador. Engage, read and share your thoughts, its been a while since I’ve posted! Link in my bio! Have a fab weekend all! . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #adventureismysidehustle #9to5 #españolestudiante #quitoecuador #immersivelearning #visitaEcuador #discoversouthamerica #ecuador🇪🇨 #ecuadortravel_ig #ecuadorturistico #mytraveldiary #cornersofmyworld #mytravel #travelinladies #blacktravel #sudamérica #soloexplorer #yourstorybeginsinquito #girlvsglobe

I stand tall, blessed and happy in front of the Basilica del Voto Nacional on International Woman’s Day or in español Feliz Diaz de la mujer. . Tall because I am proud of the stock God has blessed me with in my heritage. . Blessed because I am in Ecuador and I live in a time where, as a British woman I am able to explore this beautiful earth. . Happy because I am finally doing what I have so long desired to do, learn Spanish and live in this part of the world. . My Spanish school in Quito is lovely. Today on International Woman’s day all the ladies were given a rose and cake. It really is a day of significance and as I walked around exploring I saw many ladies with flowers. What a country that shows such honours to its women today! . . . . . . . . . . . . #IWD2019 #internationalwomensday #quitoecuador #the5to9traveller #honourthywomen #felizdiadelamujer #travelinladies #adventureismysidehustle #girlpower #soloexplorer #wanderlist #mytraveldiary #nomadic #basilicadelvotonacional #muybonita #spanishclass #fulfillingmydreams #cornersofmyworld #womeninspirewomen #discoversouthamerica
