¡Hola!

We have just finished up a beautiful weekend in Vermont, putting together the final details of our impending trip to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands. We are so excited to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Quito, a city built upon an ancient empire; hike up to the base of a glacial volcano named Cotopaxi; wander through the artisan markets of Otavalo; island hop and explore the incredible biodiversity of the Galápagos, both on land and in the water; and most importantly, work in our scenic host village, Iltaquí, alongside a kind and beautiful community. We hope you are as excited as we are to begin this adventure!

In the meantime, take some time to read about Ecuador and the culture you are about to become a part of. And here’s a little pro tip: try not to pack your whole closet—trust us, less is more!

¡Nos vemos pronto en Quito!

Saludos,

Zack y Emma
