When Katie Young, one of our trainers and Charleston Coordinators, first experienced Ecuador last summer, she couldn’t believe her eyes or ears. Or tastebuds!
Once she arrived, she could hardly comprehend that she had never thought that much about that little speck on the map. Now she’s hooked, and she looking forward to spending her second summer there.
Take a peak at Katie’s top 5 reasons she loves Ecuador! (and when you’re done with that, check out Marka Gurovich’s series of 25 reasons to love Ecuador on our Facebook page.)

1. Challenge your daily routine. Forget your morning Starbucks, they have café con leche or leche con café!!!!
2. Nothing is sweeter than trying exotic fruits in a foreign country. Have you ever tried taxo or grenadilla? I hadn’t either!
3. Learn about Ecuadorian culture. You’ll need to try encebollado and start putting popcorn in all your soup!
4. Push yourself outside your comfort zone! You too can look like a 12 year old while you go ziplining in Mindo, Ecuador.
5. Experience new heights personally and professionally. Quito is the highest official capital city in the world at 9,350 feet!
