It is a new year. Maybe you have decided to travel more this year. Travelling has never been easier. With useful products like packing cubes, laundry bags and mobile hotspots.

After living in Quito for one year and a half I have learnt of my own good or bad experiences. I have got my phone stolen, almost got hit by a car and I have not been able to pay.

ALWAYS bring a warm rain jacket wherever you go. It is not four seasons in Quito, however the weather can change rapidly from 25 degrees clear sky to 10 degrees and pouring rain.
