One of the best things I’ve ever done!

Choosing to go to Ecuador’s Amazon with Amazon Learning was one of the best decisions I ever made. Andy connected me with just the kind of people I wanted to live and work with. It is 6 months later and I still regularly call my host family. I lived with one of the midwives and her family; they treated me just like their daughter and still call me such. During the days I worked with a group of indigenous midwives who have banded together to preserve their culture and incredible knowledge. They greatly welcome foreigners and love to share their love and wisdom. I also had plenty of adventures on top of my work—like jungle trekking, waterfall swimming, camping, kayaking, water rafting, and dancing. I grew so much as a person while I was there and I got to learn and experience things that most people in the world will never get to experience!
