Volunteering: Jatun Sacha, Galapagos Islands. I went to the galapagos islands, 1 month. I did reforestation work and erradication of introduced plants at their biological station (200 ha). Also organic gardening. Weekends were free ( go to the beaches and see the wildlife). People are very friendly, environment: relaxed, the food is very good.
Year: 2007-2008
Description: Universidad San Francisco de Quito – Ecuador. I went as an independent student. Courses taken: ecology related . The courses are good (the field trips are the best part: e.g the amazon rainforest!), the professors are good and very approachable. It is a small university, private, american-styled, with many exchange students and many courses offered in english. . People are nice and friendly. Atmosphere at school is ok, not the best place to experience the local culture.
