Hola Global Glimpse family!!

We are the RB2 team: Melissa and Ana María! Sending big love from Riobamba, Ecuador! We are very excited to meet you soon and show you the wonders of the Chimborazo region. The both of us have spent over 4 months in Riobamba and we adore it. We have met amazing people, visited unique locations, and put together an awesome fifteen-day agenda for our dear Glimpsers. We are confident this will be an amazing cultural exchange and self-discovery experience for all of us! We’ve already had two amazing trips with the RB2 A and B delegations and took notes for improvement, so we expect this new (and last) trip to be even more awesome!

There are some curious facts about Riobamba: due to the bulge in the Earth’s shape, the city is located closer to the Sun than one might think. Also, the morning can be super rainy and then turn into a really sunny afternoon – be prepared for every weather in one day! Don’t forget to bring a warm jacket, windbreaker, and lots of sunscreen.

Finally, let’s remember that, in order to make the best out of this experience, we should not only keep an open mind but an open heart as well. Nos vemos pronto!

Ana y Melissa
