I have loved it so far. Everything is so different from my country but I have adopted to it quickly. I really recommend other people to come and join this amazing teaching experience through Spirit. I ove the school environment and culture. Most people at school have been so supportive and motivating. This is a great opportunity to improve your own language skills and general understanding. You can also improve your own cultural awareness by sharing your main cultural features and learning from the American people.
Great experience so far!
I simply love it!

My whole trip in Ecuador was amazing!! Spirit Cultural Exchanged helped me through every step of the process before and during my travels, and they made sure that I felt comfortable and safe the entire time. Even though they planned it on short notice, they thought of every detail in advance. When I arrived, my host family welcomed me and practiced Spanish with me whenever possible. They made me feel at home, and my roommate was fantastic! My volunteer program was so much fun; I worked in a daycare and met many amazing people. I was able to go on weekend trips almost every weekend, and I'm so grateful to have gone on this adventure.

What a wonderful volunteer program Spirit Cultural Exchange is. Throughout my three weeks volunteering in Ecuador, I had constant support. The staff at Spirit Exchange and Simon Bolivar School (their partners in Quito) were always friendly and willing to help in any circumstance. They were very well organized and prepared for anything to help make my stay as comfortable as could be. I couldn't have asked for a better organization to volunteer with.

My time in Ecuador was amazing. The staff at Spirit Cultural Exchange were very responsive and helpful prior to my trip and throughout my time in Ecuador. The teachers and staff at Simon Bolivar Spanish school were very welcoming and excited to show me around Quito. My host family made me feel so comfortable and at home during my four weeks in my new home. Everyone at my volunteer project was very grateful and excited to have me there, I felt I was making a direct impact on the individuals I helped. Overall, my time is Ecuador went very smoothly and I would not change a thing. I couldn't ask for more helpful, supportive people that the staff at Spirit Cultural Exchange.
