In this episode I talk with Darren from Chews to Explore, his YouTube channel, where he and his wife share their adventures around the world.
In May 2022 they visited Ecuador, and in this episode we talked about their time in the country.
If you are planning to visit Ecuador, I’m sure you will find this interview interesting and useful.
