I have a deep love for South America, and this trip to Ecuador has only strengthened my appreciation for its rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and warm people. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to embark on this journey, as it has allowed me to explore new places, immerse myself in unique experiences, and create lasting memories. I’m thankful for the chance to connect with this beautiful part of the world once again.
MNL-KUL-AMS-UIO My flight route (Suleica Carteciano)
Traveling from Asia to South America is always a long journey, typically taking at least 24 hours. My trip from Manila (MNL) to Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and then on to Amsterdam (AMS) took almost 18 hours of travel time, followed by a 2-hour layover in Amsterdam.

Given how hard it can be to get comfortable on planes, a neck pillow can transform a long, restless flight into a much more bearable and even restful experience.

Taking small walks and stretching during a flight can be a game changer for your comfort and overall well-being.
For long flights, when the seatbelt sign is off and when I can not sleep I walk up and down the aisle to encourage blood circulation, especially in your legs and feet. Even a few minutes of movement can help prevent swelling, stiffness, and leg cramps. If walking around isn’t always possible, simple stretches—like flexing and pointing your feet, rotating your ankles, or standing to stretch your arms and back—can also alleviate tension and promote circulation.
Stretch your legs! Chat in the galley. (Suleica Carteciano)

We have had excellent results when working with Adventure Life. We've just set up out third trip with them because the first two were great! Adventure Life has always listened, worked with us, and set up trips the way we've wanted. They've also found experiences we wouldn't have known about otherwise, that have been some of the highlights of the entire trip.
