Pirate's Life Vacations - Kent, Ohio

Just got back from an incredible small-group adventure tour in Ecuador, and it was amazing! Angela (PLV) did a great job of organizing the trip, mitigating travel curve balls and helping book a last minute extra day, to make up for unavoidable flight delays! Thanks for making the trip so memorable and FUN, Angela!

Our G Adventures guide, Angie, was fantastic—so knowledgeable and welcoming. One of the highlights was staying on a family homestead near Tena, where we got to immerse ourselves in the local culture and traditions. Our days were packed with adventure—hiking to breathtaking viewpoints, cycling through stunning landscapes, boating, chasing waterfalls, and cooling off in beautiful swimming holes. We had an absolute blast and made some unforgettable friendships along the way.

If you’re looking for an epic adventure, I highly recommend Ecuador, and especially Angela at Pirates Life Vacations to make your trip extraordinary!

Angela Barizza-Young is an amazing adventure planner. The trip I recently took to Ecuador was the most incredible adventure of discovery and friendship. The trip was a blending of women from all walks of life coming together to experience the trip of a lifetime. Every moment of the trip was planned to engage the participants. The trip was a discovery of the jungles of Ecuador in Tena to the beauty of the Old Town in Quito. The four days spent in the jungle elicited wonderful connections to the people and the forest around us. I forged wonderful friendships through all of the activities I participated in. I ate new foods (well, not the bugs!) and experienced the Native culture. The people of Ecuador were so friendly and accommodating. Angela's planning and attention to detail made the trip unforgettable.

Planned a 4 day land 7 day cruise to Alaska and it was Fantastic. Angela was the best travel agent. Her attention to detail is extraordinary. This was a big cruise for us but she is so good at what she does we sailed thru it like a breeze. Her itinerary is like a bible, and her suggestions are right on topic. She has a vast sense of knowledge and we couldn't have asked for a better vacation and a better travel agent. Angela you are the BEST!
