My name is Mia, I’m majoring in International Business. For this icebreaker I chose “Where would you like to go in the world and stay for a year? Why?” I’m Ecuadorian so I would go to Ecuador to visit my family. I know it probably doesn’t make sense but I haven’t been there since 2019 and there are so many things about Ecuador I miss, besides my family. I’m planning on going this year for my birthday or Christmas.
The person I interviewed was Jason. He told me three things that he likes about himself; he’s a morning person, likes drawing, I saw some of his drawings last semester and I really like them, he’s really talented. He also said that he can eat almost everything. He also told me that he had two dogs; a Chihuahua and Schnauzer.
I actually think that it does make total sense for you to want to go to Ecuador! I am Dominican and I would probably choose DR since I’ve only been there once. It would be great to connect with my people for some time.
Going to Ecuador would be amazing! It is always super nice to go back to your roots and connect with family and friends, all while having yummy amazing food in a different country. I hope when you do go again, you enjoy your time there!
I am Ecuadorian as well and I get what you mean when you say you miss a lot of things about Ecuador besides family. I am also planning to go but more towards the summer.
I have a few Ecuadorian friends and they always tell me how great and beautiful it is, they sometimes try to persuade me to go one day and so it seems I may go one day.
I think that you choosing to go to Ecuador is extremely cool. Being able to connect to your roots and culture is something everybody should experience. Learning more about yourself and also embracing where your family comes from, can bring a lot of self happiness and content. Sometimes it just takes one small trip back to the place you call home, to get the familiarity/nostalgic aspect again to keep your spirits up.
