She discovered her love for travel at an early age when she visited extended family in rural China. Later, after getting a masters in bioengineering from Stanford University, she worked as a product manager in the biotech industry, a job that frequently sent her on business trips that seemed much too short. So after a lot of dreaming and planning, she decided to take the longest trip of her life, leaving her career and buying a one-way flight to Cuenca, Ecuador. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In Ecuador the air was warmer, the mangos were cheaper, and the country was more beautiful than she had imagined. She started a blog about Ecuador and her travels around South America that led to a blog focused specifically on the Galápagos Islands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Her time in the Galápagos has been an interesting mix. She has stayed in backpacker hostels, upscale eco-lodges, and sailed on cruises. She has enjoyed once-in-a-lifetime experiences surrounded by sharks, sea turtles, and sea lions. She now feels equally at home in Ecuador and San Francisco, and splits her time between the two.","brand":"Lisa Cho Burns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45973985034468,"sku":"9781640494954","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781640494954.jpg?v=1737224769","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/moon-gal-pagos-islands-wildlife-snorkeling-diving-tour-advice-lisa-cho-paperback-1","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
