How much can you really learn about a "Culture" from traveling and visiting for just a few days? A LOT actually. But, there's only so much you can digest and so much learning you can force in a short time span. That's why I chose to move out of NYC and LIVE in Cumbaya Ecuador. And, after just a few weeks so far, the experience has been more insightful and instructive than I could have ever imagined. My biggest takeaway so far is that there is no one way of life that is universally better or worse for everyone. Rather, there is a specific way of life that may be the best for each individual person. Learning about culture is not about finding the best way of life but about finding parts and differences that are best for YOUR way of life and learning to understand and empathize with everyone's way of life better in the process. Tune in to see which parts of Ecuadorian culture I've chosen to incorporate into my way of life and how it has IMPROVED my day to day.
