What has been the most meaningful idea you’ve discovered or learned so far in preparation for your study abroad to Ecuador?
Even information that has been carefully evaluated and written up considering a wealth of observations and based on facts and research can be lacking sufficient evidence.
For me, the Ecuador Study Abroad is an opportunity to…
Experience the most biodiversity I may ever see in my life as well as improve my Spanish considerably and grow my global citizenship.
What makes you most curious (in life, in general)?
Physical challenges especially related to natural elements such as mountains, trees, and the ocean make me curious as to whether or not I can face them and I often encounter beautiful moments during these challenges that charge my curiosity further.
What is the best piece of advice/wisdom you’ve ever been given?
Find beauty in every moment.
What do you look forward to the most in Ecuador?
Meeting Ecuadorians and snorkeling.
