In this soothing bedtime episode of Sleepy Journeys Through History, we drift back to the haunting true story of Floreana Island — a remote volcanic outpost in the Galápagos that became the stage for a dream of paradise gone wrong.

In the early 1930s, German settlers fled a crumbling Europe in search of renewal, solitude, and purpose. They hoped to build Eden — but what unfolded was something stranger: shifting loyalties, vanishing settlers, whispered accusations, and unexplained deaths.

Known to history as The Galápagos Affair, this gentle, immersive narrative walks softly through the lives of Dr. Friedrich Ritter, Dore Strauch, the Wittmer family, and the enigmatic Baroness Eloise von Wagner Bosquet.

Let your thoughts quiet as we explore how idealism, ambition, and isolation reshaped a distant island, leaving behind more mystery than memory.
