I spent 3 months in Quito in 2005 - it is great to revisit these places through your essays. I especially remember the walks up the hills of Quito, the tiny mangoes and the winding buses through the mountains. Otavalo still looks as beautiful as it did then.
Yes I did like it. It was my first time in Latin America. I had finished my degree and I got an internship in a women's rights organisation called CECIM in Quito. I stayed in homestays - so I got to know the culture a little bit. I was there about 4 months and then I got offered a job back in Europe. I did really enjoy the hills even though they were quite challenging to climb.
This inspired me to suddenly start writing about Quito - thank you - that surprised me. You might see a piece from me from Quito soon :D How do you enjoy being there. I imagine it has changed since 2006 when I was there.
Great! Can't wait to read about it! My girlfriend lived 8 years abroad and she told me that it changed, and in some parts for the worse. About me, I love Ecuador, the people, the food, the nature!
That's wonderful you made a trip to Otavalo. I was there back in 2012. It's so big you can spend the whole day checking out different vendors. Fantastic photos as always!
This market looks spectacular. The photos make it appear very clean for a market. Was it?
Thank you! Yes you are right it was very clean.
