O3b mPOWER in the Galapagos Islands (Part 3): Aim for the Moon

Plaza Luna Suites is a boutique hotel run by Dalila Efigenia Vargas Castillo and her family. A place her mother built from scratch when they first moved the islands in the 1950s. 

Dalila, much like her mum, aims for the moon when it comes to customer service. And having a reliable internet connection is essential to running her business in every way.

From ordering supplies, to responding to reservation enquiries, or booking guests excursions… “Without the internet,” she says, “I do not have a business, simple.”

So what difference will an improved service like SES’s O3b mPOWER and CNT Ecuador’s partnership make to people like Dalila? Satellite Stories host Kristina Smith-Meyer visits to find out.

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
