Name: Johanna Katzmann
\n<\/strong>Country: Germany
\n<\/strong>Period in Ecuador: August 2011 \/September - November 2012
\n<\/strong>Age: 19<\/strong><\/p>\n

Johanna visited Ecuador for the first time with her parents in 2011. They had a trip around Ecuador & Galapagos Islands<\/a>. We could communicate and we had a dinner when they came to their only day in Guayaquil. It was such a great experience as I never thought that it could happen. I am so glad i met her with her parents! \ud83d\ude42 They are such wonderful people!
\nSo after a couple of months she told me that she would really come back and spend more time here, and sure it was but this time she came alone \ud83d\ude42
\nNow you are able to enjoy this nice interview and her wonderful professional pictures of the places she has gone!
\n
\nQ: What was your best experience? what did you like the most of Ecuador?<\/strong><\/em>
\nA: That\u2019s really hard to say, because I\u2019ve been to Ecuador for 3 months and had so many different but great experiences that you can\u2019t really compare with each other. I really liked working in a kindergarten, because you could feel the love the children give back to you. I did also like that people, wherever you go, are helpful, open-minded and interested. And I learned to take things easy, Ecuadorian people always seem so relaxed about everything and this is something I really miss in my home country.<\/p>\n

Q: Did you like Ecuadorian food<\/a>? And what was your favorite dish?<\/strong><\/em>
\nA: I loved Ecuadorian food! It\u2019s so different from what I was used to. I loved all the fruits that I\u2019ve never seen before, they were so tasty! And I really liked all the fresh juices. But my favorite dish was probably Ceviche<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Q: What were the activities you were doing in this country?<\/strong><\/em>
\nA: I came to Ecuador to have a Spanish course first. After that, I was volunteering in a kindergarten in the South of Quito. Every weekend I travelled to another part of the country, for example a trip to the rainforest, I had a surfing lesson on the coast, I did bungee jumping in Ba\u00f1os<\/a>. I had so much fun and saw so many different things!<\/p>\n

Q: Can you describe Ecuador in one word?<\/strong><\/em>
\nA: That\u2019s not easy, because Ecuador is so diverse! But I would say: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!<\/p>\n

Q: What are your advices for the foreigners who want to come to Ecuador?<\/em><\/strong>
\nA: The best is to see all parts of the country, the \u201cCosta<\/a>\u201d, the \u201cSierra<\/a>\u201d and the \u201cOriente<\/a>\u201d \u2013 nowhere else you have such a big variety just a few hours away from each other! You shouldn\u2019t be afraid to try new things, like all the food and activities. Just be open-minded, try to talk with the people \u2013 they will really appreciate it!<\/p>\n
