It had been great oppotunity to learn about Cañari culture and traditional Andes medicine. I was very lucky to participate to ceremony of Temazcal. And wedding of Alex :) It was incredible experience :) Mostly I had stayed in the house alone, so it was great oppotunity to connect to myself and spend quiet time. The work was very flexible… read more
