Hey Everyone! Nothing incredibly exciting happened this past week, mainly just recovering from the high from my previous weekend.  Last week, I didn’t have a picture of the tubing, so here is what that looked like. We were all tied together, so no one could get lost.  Since there were rocks all over the river, … More Differences Between The US And Ecuador

Sorry for not giving y’all an update last week, but nothing too exciting happened and I was sick, so I decided not to write anything.  Lately, I have been busy working my 2 part-time jobs 5 days a week, so that doesn’t leave much free time.  For anyone that is interested in teaching English, I … More Having The Time Of My Life

This past week has been a great week for me!  Through a friend at the Spanish school, I found another part-time job working at a travel agency called South Expeditions.  There is a lady who works in the office doing marketing and planning that is about to go on maternity leave, so they needed someone … More Jungle Adventures

Now that I have been working consistently, most of my weeks are pretty much the same.

Since I haven’t said it in a while, I want to thank everyone again for reading this and having an interest in my new life!  This week was spent working more, while also trying to have fun with friends.  My work schedule is very different from a normal schedule because I have a class for … More Life’s Getting Busy

To start this week’s post, here is a picture that is just a small glimpse into my exciting week I have been in Ecuador for a little over a month now!  Finally, this week I started actually working.  I have a student that wants private lessons, so we met 4 times this week for 1 … More First Month Down

This past week, things finally started to come together.  I started the week with job training, a new home, and Spanish school!  I was so excited to finally do what I came to Ecuador to do. First, I will start with job training.  Training consisted of learning the methodology that Inlingua uses.  I was lucky … More Getting Settled

This 3rd week was by far the toughest and most interesting week so far during my journey of moving to Ecuador.  The week started with Carnival.  I honestly have no clue what the reason is for this holiday, but it is awesome and we really need something like this in the US.  The holiday is … More A New Day, A New Adventure

First off, I need to say thank you to everyone that read my 1st post.  I honestly thought my parents would be the only ones to read it. Now on to week 2: Since my family had already left, it was time for me to find a job and do it quickly.  I was lucky … More Job Search- AHH!
