Past Review Guayaquil, Ecuador

It was worthwhile, but I would do an internship, instead, if I had to do it all over again. I learned a lot about my independence and ability to accomplish things on my own and about how I handle potentially dangerous or ambiguous situations. Cheyanna J - Berea College

Past Review Ecuador: Semester In Paradise!

I had thought that I wanted to live in Guayaquil for at least some of my life and this trip just confirmed for me that the positive aspects of the city outweigh the negative aspects. Having an internship there gave me a foot in the door if I want a job with them in the future. Megan M - Providence College
