Bonjour everyone! My name is Candice Ng and I’m a rising senior from Lowell High School, San Francisco. I’m very excited for my trip to Riobamba and I can’t wait to see all the beautiful nature there! I am also very eager to meet the indigenous people of Ecuador and I am looking forward to meeting many more people and to all the wonderful friendships and memories in the next 2 weeks! I am a great lover of dogs (though I don’t have one YET) and I love music and singing. I have played the piano for over 10 years and I also can play the violin. I also love traveling, especially to visit family all over the world. I also love hanging with friends, and enjoying the outdoors and nature. I am also a feminist, environmentalist, and activist who tries her best to be compassionate and do good things- which is why I started the D.R.E.A.M. Club (our dream is to help people and act for love; to spread compassion)- search us up, we are on Facebook and Instagram @dreamclub.actforlove. 💟 I hope to gain more knowledge as a global citizen and to understand the experience and perspective of other cultures and people around the world. I hope to be a more compassionate person, and I hope this trip will allow me to be a better and more loving human being. Yay!!! Here I come Ecuador~~~~ ✨💪
