60 second confidence challenge
Check your passport. Do you have at least six months left until it expires? Do you have at least four blank pages? Then your passport is in good shape. You're ready to travel, as long as you check for any Visa entries you may need.

Destination Deep‑Dive
Today's destination is: Galapagos, Ecuador
Galapagos means nature to most people.
The sights of wild animals, especially those near the ocean, fill the mind with beauty and a feeling of freshness.
One example: my hotel was located near a Flamingo habitat. They were found every day, nearly any time of day. I could go there and just watch them and smile. Sometimes there were 5 or 6 of them, just standing there. Lovely and especially memorable.

How much does it cost to go here?

It's expensive. Between 2 and 10k for most travelers. I spent a lot less, but that was from Quito. Ask me my budget.
What about mobility?
The islands are not built for wheelchair friendly travelers. Getting on and off boats, walking on sand and gravel and other obstacles make this not a great destination if you have this concern.
