La Selva Eco-lodge is located in the lush rainforests of the Yasuní Biosphere Reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon. It offers adventure travelers a memorable jungle experience with a touch of luxury.

Think long walks bushwhacking through the forest looking for wildlife during the day and coming back to a gourmet meal, a hot shower and a warm bed at night.

Over 500 different bird species have been documented just at the lodge. There are plenty of big forest creatures to see as well like red howler monkeys, three-toed sloths, white fronted capuchin monkeys, and anacondas.

La Selva Eco-Lodge offers all-inclusive 4 or 5-day tour packages year round. From birding, trekking, kayaking, and wildlife watching to relaxing massages and yoga sessions, you can design your ideal jungle experience.

Eva has spent the last 4 years traveling solo and documenting her adventures in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, and Mongolia. At the time of this recording she was traveling through the US in her Land Rover Defender (which she lives out of) with plans of driving up towards Alaska.

In this fun and motivating interview, she talks about the price of freedom, hitting rock bottom, living an unconventional life, and taking risks.

In this short video, some friends grab skis and kites then head to a frozen lake in Estonia where they glide across it. Even if this is something you’d never do, the scenery alone is worth checking out.
