Amazing Adventure Full of New Experiences

Ecuaexperience was amazing. The volunteering, exploration, medical rotations, and leaders were awesome.

Volunteering at Pujili to build new houses for the locals was a blast. The feeling of making a difference and bringing joy to others is priceless. Meeting and playing with local children was touching. It was a eye opening experience and made me more appreciative for what I have.

From Pujili to Mindo to Canoa, I had an amazing time exploring all of Ecuador. Walking under waterfalls, sightseeing Quito, and horseback riding in high altitude were all amazing experiences that I have never done before. Hiking in the jungle, playing soccer with locals, and chilling at Canoa beach resort kept me entertained.

Medical rotations were amazing. The tutors were really patient and took time to explain what was going on. From the operating room to dermatology, I had an amazing time doing medical rotations and taking notes to expand my knowledge of medicine.

The program leaders Juan and Jose were thoughtful, kind, and entertaining. They are really great dancers and love to crack jokes. They are always there for you if you need something. They listen and value what you have to say. They are just fun to be around and are great leaders and friends.

What I feel makes this program fantastic is all the friendship and bonds I made. Being able to meet new people who have similar aspirations and getting to know them over the course of the month is what I loved the most out of this program. I have definitely made some long-lasting relationships during this trip. Being able to explore Ecuador and do activities with these people has been a blast.

Ecuaexperience has been a crazy ride. I can´t believe it´s already over. I´ll miss all of the people who I have been able to share this amazing experience with. Goodbye for now Ecuador.
