Jon Jared is an intrepid writer and traveller living in Quito, Ecuador after leaving the safe haven of the States for sights unseen. His experience in Ecuador led to updating the 2015 Moon Ecuador and the Galapagos guidebook, traveling down the Napo and Amazon Rivers in Orellana's footsteps and many other adventures along the way, including an article about Quito in Delta Sky Magazine. Currently, he is obsessed with the Galapagos Islands and plans to keep exploring until he runs out of pages on his passport.
