Story
I have joined a team of keen swimmers, led by responsible travel agent Travel Matters and their founder Karen Simmonds. Together with a team of 8 individuals, Team Travel Matters are going to swim, run or cycle the length of the proposed Galapagos-Cocos Swimway route - 1125km or 700 miles - to raise money towards Travel Matters' charity partner's - Galapagos Conservation Trust's vital work. That's approx 140km per person, all between 5 May 2021 to 5 August 2021. I hope to swim 6km a week so I will also run some, aiming for 12km a week in total. Just being able to do anything positive at the moment to help those doing vital work in sustainable tourism, a sector totally devastated by the pandemic, is an honour. Thanks for a donation, be it a quid for a squid or a tenner for a turtle. (sorry..couldn't resist)
