My First Trip Abroad

Ecuador will always hold a special place in my heart because this was my first trip abroad. The staff at the Academia I am still in contact with today. Patty and Diego were extremely nice and always made sure my fellow classmates and myself we having a great experience. Patty even joined us on most excursions with her daughter Mariapaz. I spent a three weeks in Ecuador. While there, I took Spanish courses that I received college credit for, went on many educational and adventurous excursions. I enjoyed visiting Mindo Cloud Forest, Puerto Lopez and Los Frailes, this amazing private beach which was truly a dream. My favorite excursion was visiting Isla De La Plata and seeing sea turtles. I miss my Ecuadorian Mom, Patty, everyday. Gracias por su hospitalidad La Academia!
