During our first month or so in Quito we all had some interesting experiences and met some amazing people. A big part of my journey here has been trying to understand people and their unique backgrounds. I figured that people from a completely different country would definitely have a completely different set of influences on their upbringings that would dictate how they think and act today. Although the world is very diverse, there are always certain commonalities that make us all human. We all have the liberty to choose how we use our time every day, and these choices ultimately resemble our character. To wrap up my short experience in Quito I made the following video to remember, relate and share the daily choices made by the everyday Ecuadorians I had met that I would soon call my friends. Enjoy!
