About this ebook
Three years ago, during a chance encounter in Cuba, I was asked why I'd never been to Ecuador. I mumbled, for I could think of no good reason. And so thought I'd better find out more for myself. What treasures I discovered! From ancient Inca sites constructed on top of settlements build by indigenous people centuries ago, to tortoises with supercilious smiles, to volcanoes, to amorous frigate birds and poisonous frogs!

JO CARROLL decided that thirty years working with traumatised children is long enough. Besides, if she left it much longer she would be too creaky to fulfil her adolescent dream of travelling round the world. So, armed with little more than general ignorance, a diary, and insatiable curiosity, off she went. A grown-up gap year. Except she didn’t always feel like a grown-up.
