At the end of my study abroad program, I interviewed my classmates about what advice they had for the “next generation.” The following video contains eight pieces of advice for future exchange students. Some of the advice is specific to Quito and The Galapagos, while some of it is more general study abroad advice.
This video also contains footage from our time in Ecuador, including the trips to Quito, Tiputini Biodiversity Station, Mindo, Isla San Cristóbal, and Isla Santa Cruz. Hopefully this will give you a better idea of what to expect when visiting these destinations, and what to look forward to :)
For more information about day-to-day life while studying abroad in Ecuador, check out my “day in the life” blog posts on the IES website.
