“I've come to deliver a letter. A letter from the Galapagos Islands,” he said.
Originally from New Zealand, Beardmore found a small mail box while on Floreana Island that relies on the goodwill of travelers to get letters to their destination. The idea is, if you see a letter from your home country take it with you.
"You're encouraged to put a letter in and then it will go through the letters and see if you find one. And then you're encouraged to deliver it by hand,” he said.
Beardmore went much further. Back on March 1, 2024 he took 50 letters and is using the next year to travel the world and deliver each one by hand.
He said that people have been initially a little taken a back by the surprise.
"But then they're opening up their house in their home and they're telling me the most amazing stories of your life."
