Hey Chixs,

So here it is…the moment that I thought would never ever come. Unfortunately, my first study abroad program in Quito, Ecuador has come to an end! This has been one of the most impactful and life-changing summers I have ever experienced. Never in a thousand years did I think I would travel and see the things I saw in Ecuador from the capitals vibrant culture, to the Amazons abundant lessons hidden in raw nature, and to the Galapagos Island breath taking experiences!

Forever thankful to FEA for  what I have learned and what I have seen! Going forwards in my academic and personal goals I have learned that risks can be so rewarding and I hope that my blog and my entries helped motivate other people to do the same!

Ciao for now,

Gaby
