I'm not sure if all the places I'm going to are labeled on this map, but hopefully it gives a rough idea where everything is.

ONE WEEK!

I'm leaving for Ecuador in less than a week! I'm super excited. It's through a program called International Student Volunteers. I found out about it through my school and it includes Students from all over North America and Europe. For the first 5 days I have Spanish and Latin Dance lessons. After that I'll travel to my project site and volunteer for 2 weeks, building schools, teaching English, doing whatever they need me to. I got an e-mail from my project leader a few days ago and it sounds like there will be a lot of teaching/working with the kids. Then I will go for 2 weeks traveling all over the country. My last week will be spent at the Galapagos Islands! I'm also going with Julia and Greg! I have a lot to do in this next week but I can't wait! :)

  2. I'm excited for you, Julia and of course my Greg! This will be an amazing adventure and you'll remember it all your life. Do be careful at all times. Common sense is your best protection. If you feel uneasy, don't do it! (Except for sunscreen. Always do sunscreen. And bug spray!) Thanks for this blog so we can follow your voyage!
