The very first thing I smelt when I walked out of the meager airport was diesel. It was my first time out of the country and I didn’t know what I was going to expect. Was it everything people told me it was going to be? Was it depressing? Scary? Heart wrenching? Why yes‚ yes it was. However‚ it was an experience I will never forget. When I got to Ecuador‚ I didn’t know what I was going to expect. I walked onto this huge yellow bus that was going to take me to the humongous hotel where I would be
