Welcome to my new series: TELL ME MORE ABOUT: where I will be sharing resources from my favorite past adventures around our planet during this time when we cannot travel due to COVID-19. In the next weeks, I will share about all 10 trips in my recent article on Ms Magazine and I wanted you to have access to the photos, articles and videos that I produced from these experiences. For now, I hope you find inspiration until we can all begin to wander around the world again.
UPDATE June 2024: We are traveling again! And I shared about my amazing adventures in the Galapagos in this Travel & Leisure article “How Travel Healed Me After Divorce — and Made Me Fearless in My 50s — In her new book, “Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents and Feeling Fearless After Fifty,” travel writer Lisa Niver explores the ways traveling across six continents helped her heal and start anew.”

I had dreamed all my life about exploring the Galapagos Islands. I was invited to sail on Ecoventura’s THEORY in Dec 2019 and it was a magical adventure.

Thank you to Ms. Magazine for publishing my article: “10 Global Travel Adventures To Inspire Global Eco-Activism” which includes my Galapagos experience: “
Witnessing—and Helping Preserve—Biodiversity in the Galapagos
Often, when I travel, I think I am going to learn or see one thing—but when I arrive, I discover much more than I expected. When I was a young girl going to summer camp, my mom packed a book about Charles Darwin’s journey in the Galapagos Islands in my suitcase. Ever since then, and for many decades, I have dreamed about the birds, tortoises and endemic creatures of the islands and wanted to see them myself.
I finally made that dream come true when I traveled on Ecoventura’s Theory in December of last year. Not only did I see the blue-footed boobies, but I also learned that there are red-footed boobies, and Nazca boobies with orange beaks. READ THE REST
