The Hardest part is saying Goodbye

The hardest part is saying my goodbyes. Being in Cuenca Ecuador has changed me. I have met so many new friends, lived with a wonderful and compassionate Family, Speaking the language (Spanish) and being emerged into the culture. El Nomad Ecuador​ has really opened up my eyes, whether it came to Volunteering at Foundation "El Arenal", Having my 1 on 1 Spanish classes or just exploring the city as a whole. I have treasured every moment of my time here in Ecuador and will never forget this spectacular experience. Thank you so much Rebecca Adams de Garate​, Bek Summons​, Graciela Granda Palacios​, El Nomad Ecuador for the best experience. I hope to come back soon and see what adventures will await me.

Cuenca Ecuador

Being in Cuenca Ecuador for 3 months have changed my perspective of the world as a whole. It is amazing how much of a culture shock it can be. Being in Cuenca for the past 3 months have really helped me open up my mind and think outside my comfort zone. Speaking Spanish everyday, Walking to get to places instead of driving, Bonding with my host family and doing activities together as a whole has helped me learn about the different cultural aspects here. I have learned so much being here, meeting new friends, volunteering at "El Arenal" or just walking around alone or with friends. Cuenca is such a close knit town. Everyone around you is so kind and willing to help out. I will miss Cuenca so much and all my memories here. My experiences have been amazing and i will never forget this experience.

Last Leg

I am in my last leg of being in Ecuador. I can't believe it is already march. It feels like i just arrived in Ecuador and started my Adventure. I have had so many good experience here. Meeting new people, meeting Ecuadorians. Being in Ecuador i have really come out of my shell and comfort zone. I have become more fluent in Spanish and learn about the culture as a whole. I hope i can come back to Ecuador and experience this adventure again. I have to take my days one step at a time. Whether it comes to Volunteering with the children at the Fundacion El Arenal, or having my Spanish classes. I am learning so much here and will treasure this forever. I can't wait what awaits me here. Vive Ecuador. <3 nbsp="">
