Goodbye Ecuador!

Now I'm back at my parent's house in Seattle, where the internet is fast, everyone is speaking in English and I am spending 5 days here before heading off to camp! I will always remember of the 8 1/2 months spent in Ecuador as an incredible experience and I have so many good memories from my time there. I learned so much about Ecuadorian culture, traveling and medicine, and I can't wait to go back in a few years to see what happens in the country. Until then, I plan to finish my bachelors at Evergreen next year and take a year off before medical school. Thanks so much for reading my blog and following my travels, I hope to start it up again when I go on my next international adventure!
