Living the Coastal Life

"I’m sitting in a bus on the coastal roads of Ecuador, going from Puerto Lopez back to Montañita. Latin music is playing on the bus, it's salsa. I feel so happy and loving. I love South America, I love traveling, I love being on the road and I love the people I’m surrounded by. I feel better than I’ve felt in weeks. We just went to an amazing fishing town called Puerto Lopez, I loved it. We ate some seafood, got to now a local family, we snorkeled in the pacific ocean and got burned under the sun. Now, we're heading back to Montañita, the ultimate party town on the beach, to spend our last night with Zac. It’s hard to explain this happiness, but I feel like I belong to the waves of the sea and the unknown roads that are taking me to places I never thought I would see.”

Ecuador was lovely. The sea and beach always brings a certain atmosphere and feeling to the environment. 

In Montañita , the ”Magaluf” of South America as Sara and Zac called it, I loved sleeping late, having fresh fruit juices for breakfast, laying on the beach, checking surfers with a cuba libre in hand, sharing experiences with other travelers and, of course, partying at nights! The coastal chilled life tought me to live day by day, enjoy the moment and it made me do exciting things like surfing or dance in the club like-nobody-is-watching.

A fishermen’s town called Puerto Lopez, where all the rush and stress is forgotten, got me enchanted. I loved the easy-living life of this place with it's calm and relaxed atmosphere where people make their living of fishing and spend afternoons laying on the hammocks. I don't know what else to say, as I wrote before, I felt happy and free, no more words.
