ECUADOR

Hello!

I'm off on another adventure! This one's different.

Most of my year off, is for traveling! So, the big trip is going to Ecuador for about 4 months, volunteering. You can read more about what I'm doing here.

I pay for the flight and pocket money. I will have 3 meals a day and free lodging (with a Host Family!!). We have lots of little excursions available to us, like salsa dancing, Spanish lessons (I'm pretty good at it though), a cooking class, going to the equator line, the Galapagos Islands!! :D

I'm so excited!! I leave NEXT WEEKEND! This isn't the first time traveling abroad without my parents, but being away from them this long. I'm actually not scared. I'm really looking forward. I know I will have fun. I will have to be responsible and independent. This is practice for when I go out of state for college.

I'm trying to get everything I need ready, before next Saturday. Vaccination, Medications, clothes, shoes, shampoo, lotion, body wash.... the essentials. All to last me until May... I might need a bigger suitcase!

I just got the information on my host family. - Very exciting! And that there is another volunteer there too! From Canada. She's about my age and there for the same duration! - ENGLISH!! :D

Wish me luck!

xoxo,
