My Ecuaexperience

This was definitely the most amazing trip I have ever been on. Every single day was so full of so many fun activities that really allowed us to truly experience the beauty of Ecuador. And since everything from the accommodation to food to transportation and everything in between was taken care of for us, we were able to enjoy the trip completely stress free and have a great time.
For the Help component of the trip we were working in a very impoverished village alongside the villagers to build homes for the people who needed them the most. It was such a life-changing experience to get to know them and build a relationship with them and know that the homes that we were working on would go to these people who had become our friends (especially the kids). It was definitely hard work, but by far one of the most rewarding experiences ever as it was surprisingly difficult to say goodbye to the villagers when we were leaving.
The Learn aspect of the trip though is definitely what sets this trip apart from all the others out there. You learn so much over the week as we go through a number of different wards in the hospitals watching surgeries and learning about how it actually is to be a doctor. As an aspiring med student, it was the part that really helped me confirm that this was definitely the career I wanted to pursue in my life. The tutors were all very knowledgable and were great at explaining what it is we were actually watching.
The Discover part was also fantastic as we got to do things like jungle hikes in the Amazon Rainforest, go repelling down a waterfall, paragliding, surfing and so much more.

Every aspect of this trip was unlike anything I've ever done before and it was so amazing to be a part of it. But the glue that held it all together was definitely all the incredible people you meet. All the other participants were so nice and I know I definitely made some friends for life out of this trip, but it was also the staff, the tutors, the leaders and the founders of the company who were so awesome and friendly and approachable throughout the whole trip. They were there to help out if we had any questions or concerns and really worked hard to make this experience amazing for us.

I would definitely recommend it to everyone!
