Evolution Tour, Q&A | Live Broadcast with Jon Perry and Nancy Miorelli

Evolution Tour, Q&A | Live Broadcast with Jon Perry and Nancy Miorelli

Happens but I’m going to go live so all right yeah it’s time we are live Nancy how are you doing how’s Ecuador doing great excellent we are doing great down here yeah so people who are on the mailing list if you’re not on the mailing list and you want to

Go on this tour you better get on that mailing list because but we were actually going to open sales ticket sales what two days ago two days ago three days ago the 10th three days ago yeah but because there’s some chaos in Ecuador right now we wanted to rearrange

Things the chaos has been reduced chaos happened one day we’re fine again but we wanted to make it easy for people to like be because it’s now you know there’s a nonzero chance that something crazy could pop off in Ecuador and you know this has happened before where

They’ll like cancel flights and stuff and so we wanted to make it way easier to get people’s refunded if something like that happens so Nancy’s reset you you’re using a a new um like registration form right yeah we’re going to be changing I’m changing the the

Booking page so that way we will accept a deposit first before you would have to pay everything in full um so now we’re going to be accepting a deposit and we have also postponed the signups so they were supposed to go live on the 10th they are now going to

Go live on the 24th so that gives us two weeks to see how the situation progresses it has been continuously de-escalating since the 9th so I only expect it to continue to deescalate but you know it’s always nice to have a contingent contingency and backup plan yeah yeah sorry you had a

Whole like thing I just I just started going off here but let’s stick to your your your outline here so um Nancy the floor is yours all right take it away um so I think the first thing that I wanted to do was to go over

The itinerary a little bit and um I’ve had some questions on this store and just generally in the past like what happens how does the itinerary work so this tour package is 100% once you pay for it in full you do not have to spend a penny more everything is taken care of

Here like all of your transport all of your food all of the logistics hotels activities whatever all of that is taken care of so the only extra spending money that you would might want is for souvenirs and uh I guess if you want to pay to have your laundry washed but and

Alcohol we don’t cover alcohol yeah so yeah so all your food all of your in country travel is covered but of course you got to get to the Ecuador yeah you have to get to Ecuador on your own but all of the in country travel is covered

And so we have two um we have two batches of pricing the first is the early bird so that’s if you sign up and you get your tickets right away that pricing is a lot lower it’s a 133% discount and that goes live on January 24th and then on January 31st that’s

When we have the per person um that’s when we have the like standard booking yeah um you can have upgrades So currently the way that it works is and this is because of the Amazon lodging that we’re at that you will have a roommate so you can either come with

Your own roommate or you will be assigned one for based on the lovely people from the tour so standard pricing is double occupancy you can pay extra to have a single and live like a king in the Amazon if you want I have some people who like to do that so that

Option is there for you um So currently we have everyone coming in on July 16th and that is because the tour is going to start on the 17th so as long as you are your boots are on the ground before 6:00 a.m. on July 17th then you made it good job yeah yeah

I do recommend coming in that that day before because then you can sleep and be rested for the adventures yeah exactly um so when you come into Ecuador what it will look like is that as John and I were just talking about right before this as you come into

The airport and it can feel a little chaotic the airport is very tiny but everyone tries to sell you a taxi they’re like taxi do you need a taxi do you need a taxi how about now do you need a taxi you will not need a taxi

Because we will have a driver there for you which will have a sign that has the evolution Evolution tour main branding and logo on it so you just find that sign and follow the nice man to their car yes and in most cases I will

Actually be there to pick you up at the airport the only time that I wouldn’t be there to pick you up at the airport is if you come in like after midnight because I’ll be sleeping or if you come in like right after I we just

Picked someone up and then you’d have to wait for us to come back so but yeah it’s going to be very obvious there’s going to be a giant it’s either me holding the sign or Jose is going to be holding the sign and it’s going to be

The logo of the tour um and yeah so just look for that person you will have a list of contact information as well so if you if you’re somehow confused when you get to the airport you really shouldn’t be there’s one exit um and again we’ll be waiting someone will be

Waiting there for you but if if you are somehow confused or you just want to double check something you know feel free to contact Nancy or I or me uh um we’ll have that that information there I’ll have my cell phone will be working it’ll be set up to work in Ecuador and

You should have Wi-Fi at the uh at the airport so you can contact me through like uh Facebook Messenger or something or yeah so that’s that’s how getting into the country will work it’s it’s it’s very smooth we’ll from from the airport we’ll take you to a hotel

That’s like what do you say it’s like 15 20 minutes not even 15 20 minutes yeah and Qui if there’s a cow in the middle of the road then it takes 20 minutes and it’s it’s kind of like out out in the uh country between the airport and the City

Of Kito so if you’ve ever been to Ecuador before you fly into the airport which is outside the city of Keto and then uh yeah keto’s kind of like the well it’s the capital but it’s just like the center of equity or it’s it’s the is

It the is it the biggest city or is guil larger uh we overtook guil a couple years ago in terms of population at least yeah we have about four million in keto cool so um so however while we are on Airport and airplane stuff you should definitely make sure that you have at

Least 2 hours if you have a connecting flight yes we uh you do not want to miss your trip because your first flight was late and you missed your connecting flight because pretty much there’s only one flight a day from any given airport that goes to Kito so we have there are

Flights that are coming from Atlanta Fort Lauderdale Miami and Houston are the main hubs in the United States but there’s only one flight a day out of each of those that are coming coming to Ecuador if you’re being routed through Panama there’s a couple so you’ve got a pretty good shot and I

Think bogot also has two if you’re coming through colia um but yes we did have some issues with people having layovers that were too short and miss them and especially like if you’re coming from Atlanta or Miami in those summer July storms you definitely want

Some extra time so even if you want to come in an extra day early and you need something to do July 16th just can’t just message me email me and I can either give you recommendations or set something up for you yeah I mean coming

A day coming an extra day early is uh I mean I always that’s I I always do that because I’m a little bit paranoid about ever well obviously CU I’m running the tour or helping run the tour I definitely have to be there a couple

Days early but the yeah I we’ve had I think we had did we have two people miss last year yeah and Tim’s in the chat he can tell you all about his experience last year yeah um but Tim you are not the only person and like I’ve had just individual cents

Come before and they just like booked their connection too short and didn’t make it yes yeah um I mean you know that’s one of the reasons that you get travelers insurance so that you can get refunded if you end up missing your trip but the uh um I mean that just sucks

Because yeah even if you did have Travelers Insurance you missed your trip because we really can’t wait like the I mean the tour goes that we have one day in keto so when you come in we have one day where as so the day you come in is

The day of arrival the 17th of July that’s the day that we start the tour so that’s a keto that day we get breakfast at the hotel and then we’re going up to the volcano Pacha it’s really beautiful up there I’m really excited it’ll be a really fun contrast of ecosystems

Between the high mountainous param and the Amazon so we’re going to go up the mountain and then visit a a really nice museum it’s a museum ecological Park which is really fun um and that’s basically our first day so if you do get tied up somewhere there is one extra day

To like get you and sometimes you’re Luggage in if there’s any problems but we only have one day in keto so yeah we have one of buffer right right now on that note of like luggage and stuff I always have on my my carryon that’s literally with me on the airplane I take

What if I had to do the whole trip with just that bag I that’s what I pack in that bag and then you know everything else you would want to have on the trip you put in your your um in your uh stored luggage but your checked luggage

But you know just you know I I in Canada I have to use Canadian Airlines and they tend to lose luggage fairly regularly and I mean you just it can take like 2 weeks to get your luggage back so I always just you always just plan to

Have your Essentials with you and of course you know if someone’s like doesn’t have any sunblock or bug spray with them of course you can just borrow that from someone else but yeah and we’ll have spots where we can buy some of that stuff too yeah and then and

We can arrange laundry you know if uh yes if for people who got yeah since you actually came to wa they actually got a washing machine so now they can do laundry on site and charge for it so that’s really cool yeah all right uh all right next on the

List so that’s day one hi Paro very exciting learning about different indigenous groups that uh were there before the Incans surpris the Incans were also colonizers but more on that later I suppose uh the second day we’re traveling to the Amazon this is a long day there’s no there’s no good way to

Sell it it’s just long but you’re going to one of the most amazing places on the planet and part of that long day is a really fun canoe ride where you go up the river so so yeah very long to get there but it is shorter than it normally would be

Because we are flying down there so we’re going to go from keto and we’re going to fly to a small town called coka M and then we are taking the bus from Koka to the canoe pickup point and then we have a three-hour canoe ride into wa

Basically we are going to be arriving to the airport around 7:30 in the morning and we will be getting to the Amazon Lodge around four or five so if you get boat sick or car sick uh I I recommend some Dramamine just like have have some that on you we

Are not taking the bus from keto to Koka we are just taking a bus from Koka to the to the canoe pickup ride yeah so so little airplane then bus then canoe it’s a yeah it is a fairly long day but and I just I

Did film in in a little ad for this tour I filmed what the the bus ride can be like because some parts of the road are very rough so people get car sick so I if if you get easily car sick definitely take some uh

In Canada we call it gravel I don’t know what what it is Dramamine Dramamine yeah yeah sounds like a drug what’s that we take the gravel well that’s what it’s called amazing but the uh I mean I’m in Quebec so maybe that’s a French name I

Don’t know but maybe yeah so yeah bring some of that stuff with you uh because yeah you don’t want to get you don’t want to get car sick or boat sick that that’ll ruin your afternoon uh then plus plus the the bus drivers in Ecuador they have no sympathy like they won’t pull

Over for you it’s it’s just kind of how it is um even yeah even we we had a tour bus driver and he’s like no just just do it in the garbage can yeah we’re not going to slow down so okay all right well that’s how it is so yeah so

The yeah just be prepared for that but yeah once we get into the jungle it is yeah it is it is so amazing I I was just looking through photos because you know I’ve got this little photo thing behind us right now and just going through and

Picking out photos oh man I just I just want to be there right now I I miss Ecuador so much um we have four full days in the Amazon so that’s something different that we did this time around on this trip trip versus last time we just had three full

Days in the Amazon but we have decided to add a whole extra day in the Amazon this time so four full days we have a bunch of different activities that will be weather dependent so it’s hard to give an exact itinerary because basically we wake up we’re like is it

Raining no we will do the thing or if we wake up we’re like is it raining we will wait to do the thing but pretty generally we’re going to have talks and both on Evolution and on uh insects we have talks on flight on feathers insect flight insect reproduction uh reproduction in general

Very exciting excited for today for this year’s themes and we’ll be doing canoe rides looking for various animals we’ll have the chance if the river isn’t completely flooded to go to a cayc to see parrots we can do paddle boarding there’s um night walks and light trapping rainforest walks just like uh

Learning about medicinal plants and indigenous uses of things we might depending if we can get some cacao and it’s in season and we can turn cacao into chocolate which is always a fan fave and then we can go visit the observation tower where you can climb up

It and you can see all of the rainforest from the canopy which is really cool and we get to Fish to that goes all the way up into the canopy it’s it’s really neat that’s yeah sorry no go and then we also can do fishing so if

You catch any piranhas we can eat them for dinner yes yeah you see this um piranha in the background here that’s uh last year we caught one piranha it was a huge one uh the photo I think that was I just showed was not our piranha I think

That was from a earlier trip that Nancy had done but yeah we we caught a big one and everybody got to everybody who wanted to eat some got to eat some piranha so that was kind of cool um and then we will be leaving the Amazon basically basically reversing

What we did except we’re not getting all the way to keto we will be stopping in Coca and having dinner and overnighting in Coca there’ll be a nice hot modern shower um there is hot water in at wa but it is solar powered so if it is

Sunny you get hot water and if it is not Sunny then you do not get hot water yeah they tell you there’s hot water there but it’s it depends on the day so but but cold cold water isn’t it’s like River cold water it’s it’s not not normal River it’s Amazon River cold

Water it’s not that cold but it’s you know it’s you notice that it’s not warm if you are a princess like I am the kitchen will heat you up some water in a bucket that you can use yeah yeah they didn’t do that for me but I didn’t ask

So it’s because you’re not a princess John yeah and so oh and the I showed this in the ad but the the place that we stay at in the jungle it’s like an the the buildings are open so it’s you know it’s pretty warm in there it’s uh you have mosquito Nets around

Your beds so that you don’t get bit by mosqu everything is screened in yeah yeah but yeah you know just just know that that’s what it’s like it’s not there’s not air conditioning and stuff we’re in the jungle so yeah and then the the last day we

Return to keto and then we’ll have like a half day in the cloud forest depending on when everyone’s flights are some flights leave early in which case we will just be in Kito at the airport and we will say goodbye um otherwise we get to be in the

Cloud forest for lunch and dinner because the other half of the flights don’t leave until like midnight so regardless of what flights you pick on the way out we have got you covered cool yeah it’s the cloud force is really fun too it’s a totally different ecosystem

Are we stopping in there on the way we’re not stopping in there on the way down cuz we’re flying no yeah cuz we’re flying we will fly over it you can look out your window and be like there are trees yeah the flight from Kito to coka is 30 minutes so very

Short yeah and it’s cool it’s it’s a cool little airport that you land in very very old school so all right let’s see are we minus 34° celius dear Jesus that it reminds me why I moved yeah I’m in Quebec and it’s uh it’s not even freezing right now it

Rained all day it rained on top of snow it’s probably going to freeze now it’s going to be horrible to try and walk around outside but yeah it’s not that cold here yep I knew I left winter for for a reason okay so Nancy the well what’s next on our list

Here um what sign up and cancellation would look like yeah yeah let’s talk about that because maybe we should talk a little bit more about what’s going on politically in Ecuador too sure if people saw the news it looked crazy because there was there was some guys in

Wakil which is we are not going toose ke it’s not it’s just I mean yeah it’s a it’s the other side of the country but yeah they’ve had some chaos there in the prisons there’s been prison riots and then a news station got taken over um I

Actually have a friend whose brother is in prison in wakil and we were worried that he might have gotten killed in that because it was it was crazy but he’s fine he said that uh the well in his situation was really good because if you’re in a prison riot basically you

Have to pick a side and hope that you pick the side that wins and the prisoners never win but they win temporarily so he had um luckily he was in a part of the prison that got locked down immediately he missed a couple of meals and he’s fine

But that’s good to know do you not plan on experiencing an Ecuadorian prison to be honest oh yeah there’s not on my to-do list yeah he he’s he was doing stuff he shouldn’t and he ended up well actually he he yeah long story we’re not going to go

There if you come on the trip maybe you get to hear the whole story that’s our I guess that’s our hook he’s safe that’s that’s what’s important yeah um yeah so the current situation everything kind of blew up on Janu January 9th as you may

Or may may not have seen in the news and in my opinion I feel like it wasn’t overblown in the media like what actually happened like the events that happened that were reported on in the media were true but I feel like a lot of what happened afterwards was just left

Out of the conversation which I personally did not think was fair so for example you might have seen like the news anchor that whole situation no one was killed no one was hurt and all 13 of the people responsible were captured in under in under 3 hours and about in

Under six the city was back under control and in under 24 there were like 400 arrests around the country from people who were just trying to cause chaos so a lot of what you were seeing about businesses that were closing etc etc was people like ecuadorians were

Worried I mean as anyone would be if you saw that on live television and so there was a lot of Miss information that was just flying so like for example there was like people in quena were talking about a shooting that had happened in the park and then later you found out

That there was no shooting it never happened so um a lot like misinformation was just spreading like wildfire everywhere all throughout WhatsApp the media well telegram I think it it’s helpful too just to back up and explain kind of like the history of what happened just you know South America if

You’ve all seen it on Netflix there’s a lot of cocaine and cocaine that’s going up to the US and Ecuador and Europe let’s not leave them out of this discussion yes Europe as well and Canada let’s not leave y’all out of this conversation either so anyway a lot of

Cocaine and Ecuador had kind of been people like the drug trade kind of skipped over Ecuador that was mainly due to a very um let’s say politically controversial president in the late 80s here in Ecuador yeah yeah it was I mean it was yeah cocaine was it was not safe to

Be a coke dealer in eador so people weren’t doing it but then during Co and probably before covid right but especially during Co it blew up I mean on the coast of Ecuador and then guil wakil sorry I’m saying it wrong and wakil that they’re just drug trafficking

Exploded and so they’re trying to get drugs up to Colombia and from there it goes to North America into Europe or just off the Co up to Mexico and then and then up yeah so you have you during Co when everyone was in under lockdown the drug dealer you know all the drug

Traffickers like hell yeah let’s let’s uh let’s spread no one’s going to do anything about it and they did uh last time I was in Ecuador this is so after covid I went to the coast there’s all these advisories telling you not to go there and yeah I probably

Should not have been there it was very rough on the coast and it’s it was just it was devastating to see like people are getting people’s communities are basically kind of it was it was just rough like you couldn’t be a fisherman without getting captured by this whole

Thing because there’s just so much drug trafficking along the coast we’re not going to the coast on our tour we used to do that but we’re not doing that now because it’s not safe there but the rest of the country is safe and this is the conflict is between the the drug

Traffickers and the police it has nothing to do with tourism and in fact everybody in Ecuador is like tourism is a major source of income and people do not mess with tourists in Ecuador it’s just like I mean there was there was a kidnapping years ago and the president

Himself got involved and the people got saved within a day and it was you know it was just people don’t mess with tourists here because that is the bread and butter of Ecuador aside from you know cocaine I guess oil oil aside from oil no well no there’s a lot of shrimp

Trading there’s a lot of oil uh there’s two types of oil there’s uh um you know gasoline oil and then cooking oil uh and then what else you got it’s bananas too palm oil H bananas and Sh bananas bananas chocolate coffee yeah so it tourism’s just been really important for

For forever for for Ecuador so the government is really focusing on keeping tourism safe there and and just the citiz the regular citizens are focused on that it’s there’s that’s like one of the big things that everyone sees in the news as well is like oh the military is

Everywhere and so the president our new president is employing the military out in tourist areas and also just generally in the private sector and people like ecuadorians are very generally happy about this they feel a lot safer they feel more protected and the language that the president was using calling the

Drug cartels terrorists and then declaring it as like an internal War which is like you know when you look at the news you’re like what is this it’s just essentially like political language to maintain or to really give him the power to employ the military into the

Private sector and really um do a lot to take control and really kind of crack down on this problem yeah yeah I’m I’m I feel really positive about it because like like I said when I went to the coast just seeing seeing what happens when things are not placed

Well uh I yeah I hope that within like a year or so we can actually take tours to the coast again because man it’s beautiful the coast is beautiful yeah yeah but yeah I wouldn’t I wouldn’t do that now but yeah out in the rainforest totally yeah totally fine

It’s totally fine out of the rainforest uh if you are concerned the minister uh of Tourism we have a minister of Tourism he has say he has like put out this c campaign called This is Ecuador or s s Ecuador and you’ll see people using those hashtags and kind of showing the

Beauty of the country and that everything is essentially fine business as normal um so if you’re like interested and want to just kind of see what it’s like from not the sensationalized news media perspective look up those hashtags but I mean even though we’re not too concerned

About I am very confident this is going to go just fine we did want to just make sure that it’s easier to do refunding and stuff like that so Nancy explain what what you’re doing for for that yeah so previously I had been using a program called Square which you may have heard

Of square is a I mean lots of stores throughout the US use Square it’s just a credit card processing company and it basically I could just it was easiest on my end to just charge the entire trip and that way I can make all the reservations and all that stuff with

Pretty easily um however just in case we do have to do refunds and cancel the tour what we have decided to do is I’ll be using a new program called we travel and they allow for payment and installments so I’m going to be setting

That up so you put in a deposit at first um and it’ll be close to a 50% deposit and then later in April we’ll be charging the rest of the trip and I have been working with wa which is mainly where we’re going to be staying the entire time about what their

Cancellation policy is going to look like and they have been very generous with their cancellation policy so basically right up until a month before the trip I should be able to get most people’s money back like most of the money back for everyone um so it just

Set up like some extra fail saes just just in case we have to cancel um yeah and the reason we have to cancel is if like the airport’s shut down or the government exctly or the government says it’s not safe um exactly so I’ll be monitoring the situation here which

Again I don’t expect there to be a situation but uh it would have to be something like what happened to during covid like the airport shut down and the government put out like a 24-hour curfew or something like what happened with the national strikes where like literally we

Just couldn’t get from one place to another but unless those advisories happen and unless like the Ecuadorian government says like hey no like we’ve got a situation here and we just we need to keep it under control the trip is going to happen um so but if you pay obviously and if

You’re on the mailing list then you will get all of the updates from from me about all of that yeah and then of course always just get travel’s insurance Travelers Insurance yeah and Nancy has like a list of of companies that are that are good and can actually

Refund you in case of um yeah you know I use the forb list that give like a lot of different options but it’d be really important um Travelers Insurance would cover any of that like Norm but we also really recommend the cancel for any reason travelers insurance which

Means if you like break your leg two days before the trip and can’t make it that traveler’s insurance will cover you which actually happened to someone it did happen to someone yeah please get Traveler’s Insurance yeah yeah so yes that that will um The Travelers Insurance is worth it’s worth getting mhm

I say that but I’ve never bought it before it’s really it’s really not very expensive but okay what’s next on our list that’s all I had written down is there anything you specifically want to go over um mainly I’m just really excited I I uh yeah I’m I am extremely excited so the

The the jungle is just it’s funny that the theory of evolution was proposed by two people at the same time by Alfred Russell Wallace and Charles Darwin both of them having just spent a bunch of time in tropical parts of the world and it’s you see that

Like once you get into the jungle you will realize why evolution is so obvious I mean it’s just everywhere it’s there’s layers and layers and layers of life and it’s just is the most amazing thing that I’ve ever experienced I yeah I am very excited I’m very I’m glad we got an

Extra day even in the rainforest because that was my he says as if he wasn’t the person who asked for that yeah yeah I mean it was just like last time we were there um I I I had had a little bit of a stomach ache because I I before meeting

Up with Nancy decided that I was cool enough to eat at any restaurant on my own without so I had a little bit of stomach problems and so I was I was so boned because I had a little bit of the stomach problem so I couldn’t fully

Enjoy the rainforest um so yeah I’m uh I I’ve just been wanting to go back ever since I got home basically so yeah I’m very excited also we will have an on-site doctor with us the entire time yeah so if there are any issues like any stomach issues you should let us know

Because Healthcare in Ecuador is free so you can use it and we will have a doctor so don’t suffer like we want you to enjoy your trip so um yeah if you have like any issues headaches backaches you tripped I don’t know got the sniffles whatever

That’s why we have a doctor on site and all the cooks that we’re using know how to cook for people with uh weak Western stomachs so and also if vegetarian or vegan or lactose free or kosher or whatever any of the long lists we can handle the food aspect of it yeah okay

Um Tim yeah yeah Tim’s question on packing yeah is the packing list for the July yeah so Ecuador does not I mean it has a rainy season and a non- rainy season but the packing list is the same welcome to the tropics uh in July it’ll be Rainier than

It was than it would have been in January so January is our dry season season actually I’m actually very excited for John to see the rainforest yeah in a complete in a completely different season cobano is really special it’s called The Floating forest and that’s because it floods way more

Than like the regular Amazon basin does and so like literally the difference in the river can be like 10 or 20 ft different um so it’ll be Rainier in July I would definitely re recommend your rain jacket but I would hope that you would bring your rain jacket to the rainforest

Regardless of the Season that it’s in yeah we we don’t let rain stop us from seeing stuff yeah so uh but if you want if I were to make any changes to the backing list I would just say bring extra socks and extra underwear because that’s the thing that gets wet and damp

That people really don’t like so and pack them in zip block bags so that way they don’t get damp from the ambient you you know 90% humidity in the rainforest yes yeah but packing list is the same yep um and the packing list is on the website

As well so if you go to e.info um on the travel and Logistics page the packing and travel info page it has our packing list on there and Isaac is chiming in to remind people doctor and medin included yeah mm yeah we we bring a doctor with us who happens to be

Isaac yes that is our doctor we found him thanks for being here by the way hash support um yeah well any any other questions before we end the stream just I very excited I love I love these tours that differ from like the normal Amazon tours

Like a lot of people would just like go to the Amazon they’re like yep that’s a monkey and then they’re happy and move on with their life but for me these tours are really really fun because we get to really dive into the biology and really dive into the um I’m just like

Dive into the biology and the systems and the theory at work behind everything yeah it’s a lot of fun and then uh Diego who’s you know he’s he’s the guy that pretty much he doesn’t live out there but he’s out there all the time it’s practically at home yeah he he’s he’s

One of our tour guides for down there like he he understands all this stuff plus he understands how locals view all these things he understands the local culture he understands native cultures various native cultures medicines like he’ll do a presentation on the native cultures for us too and kind of like

What has happened to them and the how the oil industry is specially has influenced the indigenous people in the area which I think is maybe sad to learn about but necessary yeah and Tim says he’s excited for another shot another shot let’s go as well for Tim we’ll do it this time

We’re gonna make it we tried so hard to get Tim here last time I was like if you can get to Kito I will get a canoe for you yeah okay well it looks like uh it looks like that’s it for for people’s questions I’m I’m just really excited

I’m I’m glad we’re doing this and I yeah I’m very confident looks like Ecuador is handling their you know local political drama with flying colors and we’re going to have they’re prioritizing safety for tourism uh I’m excited I’m very excited to get back there and let’s go let’s do it all

Right bye so long
