When I arrived in Ecuador, my host family, who live with during my visit to Ecuador, I had traveled to Cuenca, a historic city in southern Ecuador. My "Daddy" is named Eugene, my "Mommy" is named Alicia and my brother called David. Because my brother is twenty years and more to me, I need to use the "you" with the whole family. It's a little difficult getting used to, after I used the "you" in all my classes, but, with practice, anything is possible.
My brother David met me at the airport the night I came to Ecuador and the next day we traveled to Cuenca. The bus trip lasted nine hours! But when we arrived, I saw that it was worth. Cuenca is a beautiful city with architecture maj

Hi guys! My name is April and I am an exchange student at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE). As a student of English, will offer opportunities to study or travel to other countries in the future. But what happens when you study abroad? For many people, the idea is exciting. But, it could be scary too. During the next few weeks, I want to give you an idea of the exchange experience and show a little of the great country of Ecuador as well. Hopefully my experiences will inspire you to be an exchange student one day. Please, if you want, feel free to make comments or questions and answer them. Until next time, April
