What intrigues/excites you most about going to Ecuador?

I am very excited for the Galapagos for the sea life, or the Amazon for the snakes and other critters we will see.

How would you describe yourself?

I am a very outgoing person; I really enjoy pushing my personal boundaries and branching off to try new things that have a potential interest. I really enjoying being around people to share these new experiences to me so we have a memory that we can cherish together.

What is the best piece of advice/wisdom you’ve ever been given?

Don’t be afraid of failure. Don’t be afraid to try new things and experience stuff outside of your comfort zone because that’s where the most personal growth happens.

Where is your favorite place you have visited and why?

Spain, I love the lifestyle of the country. The lifestyle is very social and the people there care a lot about hanging out with family in friends frequently during the evenings and I enjoy spending time with the people I love. The history in every city is always super interesting. The fact each city has different stories to how they are today and how these magnificent cathedrals are built with such attention to every little detail is always really cool to me.

What makes you most curious (in life, in general)?

How to find friends and make my dog love me.
