Ahhh, so my friends that were saying they seldom got a shipment in the outlying small villages were apparently certainly not the only ones! This is beginning to sound like a bad class D movie. Hoping it gets cleared up! Is whatever you ordered ... Read More

I so hope the people of Ecuador will have more common sense than so many people in the US who think it is their right to Not get a vaccine, and then get it and spread it and die! Sadly that is actually happening. Four news castors have had that ... Read More

Yikes, this is not encouraging. Would it be cheaper to buy a ticket for a friend to travel to visit you and bring it with them? Read More

Language school by Alexsandra123
Good morning evening afternoon =) I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good school or a good place to learn spanish. I have had a look around on a the net and have found places charging like 136 per week which is really too much. I do not need ...
I would much prefer smaller towns with more personalized language schools. It would also be great to be immersed in the culture and language through home stays. Simon Bolivar sounds good but rather corporate? I am not really interested in tourist ... Read More
