Ecuador is a small country in South America, placed on the equator. Ecuador is crossing borders with Colombia and Peru. You have probably heard of The Galapagos Islands.

You might have seen pictures of the swing at the end of the world. That swing is in Baños, Ecuador. Did you know Baños means baths in Spanish?

Last Saturday my legs were aching for hiking. My boyfriend and I couldn’t find anything closer than Rucu Pichincha, which is just a couple of minutes from our apartment in Quito.

It was a Saturday, my boyfriend and I went to a flea market to some of our friends that were moving from Ecuador to Spain.

Always dreamed about living abroad? People might say; “Just go for it, you only live once!” But is it really that easy?

After living in Quito for one year and a half I have learnt of my own good or bad experiences. I have got my phone stolen, almost got hit by a car and I have not been able to pay.

ALWAYS bring a warm rain jacket wherever you go. It is not four seasons in Quito, however the weather can change rapidly from 25 degrees clear sky to 10 degrees and pouring rain.
