An End and a Beginning
S at the waterfalls in Mindo, Ecuador
It’s been an amazing past ten days. S visited me and we travelled around the country doing all sorts of fun things like zip-lining, waterfall canyoning and attempting to surf. I managed to show her the mountains at Quilotoa, the cloud forest of Mindo and the party beach town of Montanita, all of which I have never visited myself. After her departure, I also packed and moved and am ready for the new year. Feeling happy and content, but this is also a bittersweet beginning for 2012. I feel like I have grown immensely from all the rich and novel experiences of the past year, and made many beautiful memories in a completely new land. In 2011, I moved to Ecuador, learnt Spanish, travelled, established good things with work, made friends from everywhere and began a vastly different life. Looking forward to more new and amazing things in the coming year. Happy 2012.
