Summer Search: First Weeks in Ecuador!
Welcome to our first blog! This is Elaisa and KC presenting how our first week at Ecuador has been. I know you miss us so Global Routes Ecuador is finally going to update you! We are currently on day three of our first homestay in Peguche. The views are insanely beautiful and breathtaking, nothing like New York. So far we have gone hiking, tubing, and swimming. The stay at our first hostel in Mindo I was beautiful.

Annapurna Base Camp to Kathmandu!
We finally got to the top at Annapurna Base Camp. The views were absolutely incredible, definitely some of the best views some of us have ever experienced. After we came back down we celebrated our friend Juliette’s birthday! 😁

Continued Learning & Time for a Dance Party at Momi’s
Since the last blog the group has been continuing to help Momi on her land and explore Hilo. We were able to meet Topher who is a past Global Routes OE who was able to teach us many new things about Hawai’i.

Camping in Miloli’i
Since Josie’s and Anthony’s blog we have left Momi’s farm and are now camping in Miloli’i. This is the last fishing village on the Big Island and we are lucky enough to have been invited here by Ka’imi.
