Jenna

1. Jenna hated Quito until two months ago when, to everyone’s surprise, she declared she was in love with the city and didn’t want to leave. Loving a foreign city doesn’t always come easy but persistence goes a long way. Our hats off to you, Jenna!

2. She excels at being a waitress. She loves the job and is great at befriending guests. There’s no doubt she will be missed at Uncle Ho’s.

3. Jenna bought a can of pepper spray and a whistle within a month after landing in Quito. Fortunately, she hasn’t felt the urge nor the need to use them.

4. An aspiring pastry chef, a funny joke teller, a light-on-her-feet dancer and a silent sleeper, Jenna is the perfect traveling companion.

5. Since we set foot upon Ecuadorian soil, she has been obsessed with Ayahuasca. What is it? Some say it is a sacred beverage usually prepared by and for shamans seeking guidance or wanting to foresee the future. Others say it’s a drug which, despite all the vomiting, gives you the best high. Jenna did A LOT of research on the subject and hopes to set upon an Ayahuasca spiritual journey.

6. Jenna is “looking for the truth.” May Ayahuasca help her fulfill this quest.

7. Another of Jenna’s obsessions since we arrived in Ecuador is Twilight/New Moon/Eclipse. It’s been a big joke all season long and, at some point, we have all joined her to watch RPATZ fighting the werewolves. Unforgettable, especially when Ryan fastfowarded the movie- dubbed in Spanish- to “get to the good parts.” Team Edward or Team Jacob? It’s a hard call…
