What intrigues/excites you most about going to Ecuador?
I’m excited about the natural history study, and the exploration of unique and historical cultures.
How would you describe yourself?
I am a person that loves to spend time outdoors with my close friends and family. I appreciate speaking with new people and making new friends; however, I can come across as quiet because I tend to listen more than I talk. I love to travel as well and expose myself to as many different cultures and environments as possible.
Where is your favorite place you have visited and why?
My favorite place that I’ve visited is South Africa. I went on a two-week trip in high school and loved every minute of it. We were able to immerse ourselves in the unique culture of the people and spend time studying and appreciating the amazing plants and animals.
How many countries have you been to up until this point and which ones?
I have been to 7 countries in total: Jordan, Israel, Spain, South Africa, Costa Rica, The Dominican Republic, and Peru.
What makes you most curious (in life, in general)?
I’m curious about why people tend to care so much about the little things in life, especially in our own community, when the world and the universe are so large, and life is so short.
