The Experience
My name is Andrea, I am 28 years old and now I live in the city of Loja, called the "musical and cultural capital of Ecuador" for its architecture, its cultural diversity, its contribution to the arts, sciences, music and Ecuadorian letters and for being the birthplace of many illustrious characters of Ecuadorian society. I had the opportunity to move to this beautiful city with the idea of helping people fulfill their dream of being bilingual.

My brief time at SALC Loja was a positive experience. The staff was professional and friendly and most of all, I enjoyed my conversations with the students from whom I learned about Ecuadorian lifestyle, culture, and food. There was cooperation from the Loja team to resolve issues that arose to make my stay comfortable. I also had sufficient free time in my schedule to relax and enjoy the calm center of Loja. I definitely recommend this institution and would be happy to visit again if time and schedules aligned. My best regards for success to the entire team.

Had a really good time in Loja! Would definitely have stayed longer if my schedule allowed it. The work was as described, the hours were fair and the host was flexible and accommodating if I wanted to move some hours around to get more out of my free days. Loja is a beautiful little town surrounded by incredible mountains. There aren't a lot of tourists so you really get immersed with the locals. People were kind and it felt like a very safe place to be. I truly loved my home away from home. Loja and the people I met through this exchange will always have a special place in my heart ❤️
