EcoSwell

A typical day at EcoSwell begins at 9:00 a.m. where we have a meeting every Monday with all staff and interns to plan out the tasks for the week. Once I have ensured that all interns are clear with their objectives and tasks, I usually complete some administration or financial tasks. We have lunch in the early afternoon and afterwards head out into the community to work on the reforestation project or carry out some market research until 5:00 or 6:00 p.m.  

At EcoSwell, there rarely are typical days at work, but all of them give me something to smile about. As a Director I live half of my days on the ground in Lobitos working with volunteer interns and the community, and the other half in our office in Lima managing our marketing and public relations activities.

I decided to travel abroad during my gap year because I wanted to learn about and experience a different location and culture in depth. There is no better way to learn about different ways of life and ways of thinking than to live in a different country for a long time. I love to learn and immerse myself in new experiences, and that is why I travel.
