Rasmus Wendelbo Nielsen in Ecotrakers december 2000









Briefly, my name is Rasmus Wendelbo Nielsen. But people I have met through this travel might know me as Nelson, Ras, Erasmo, Rastafari or something even different.
Anyways I come from Denmark, born in 1974 and is presently 26 years old.

I have spend most of my life in school, most recently at university. I recieved a Masters Degree in molecular biology with speciality in protein chemistry in December 2000. So if any of your friends need a protein chemist you know who to call.

At the moment I do not have a permanent residence. But I will be back in Copenhagen, Denmark, on the 11th of august 2001 and then you can contact me on ph. 26-7-1964-9. Or you can always use the mail, safariras@hotmail.com.
Where
In Equador yes, but this page contains info about travels to some of the minor communties, Manglaralto at the coast and Guamote and Sisid in the Andes.
The stays were each for about one week and a part of a volunteerwork program under the Ecotrackers Foundation.

Why
I find it interesting to get of the beaten track and visit the small communities, talk to the local people. This is fairly easy when staying with a family on the same conditions as them.
Though, it also requires some spanish skills, which I wish was better for my part. But just speaking a bit of the lingua, makes things so much more interesting.


If you have comments or want further info, please sent me a mail..

Welcome to Our site During our travels through Central and South America Mark and I spent a week in Guamote, Ecuador with Ecotrackers. Ecotrackers is a non-profit organisation which aims to protect the environment and culture of rural communities in Ecuador through community ecotourism and volunteer work. The purpose of this site is to showcase the Guamote Carnival and encourage other travellers to visit the town, which has an amazing weekly market with squealing pigs and brightly coloured materials, and a train station, from which you can ride on the roof down to the Devil´s Nose.

My Volunteer Work with Ecotrackers My Experiences in the Coast of Ecuador With the organisation Ecotrackers I spent two weeks in the Esmeraldas regi on (north coast) of ecuador. I was able to stay in two communities, Bunche and La Tolita. I also spent time in Muisne, Esmeraldas, La Tola, Bourbon and Las Peñas. The following includes a story of my travels and some practical information for transport etc. My time in Bunche Primarily I spent one night (27/2/04) in Muisne and a day at the lovely beach there. There is some good hostels there on the beach for -5 per night, also a small spanish school. The next day (28/2/04) I headed to Bunche where I stayed for 6 days. I stayed with Clemente and his family. There was always plenty of kids about and while initally I was called ´gringa´ by the end they all knew me as Lorena. While I was there I taught a bit of english in the school, helped out in the day care centre for children (1-5 yrs) and worked in the garden growing cocoa ...

Barbara van der Heiden, the Netherlandsweeks voluntary work at Children’s Hospital Baca Ortiz in Quito

Barbara van der Heiden, the Netherlands 3 weeks voluntary work at Children’s Hospital Baca Ortiz in Quito After several months of excitement and preparation I finally left for Ecuador on Saturday June 16th 2007. I had the night flight from Amsterdam to Quito, with a stop in Bonaire and Guayaguil. The flight was fine, no delays or turbulence. Before I left I had several times contact with Dr. Maximiliano Moreno (Max, head of Ecotrackers’ projects) by email. I had the address and phone number, so I knew where to go after arriving at Quito Airport on Sunday morning June 17th. I took a taxi to the apartment and just pushed one of the buttons that said Ecotrackers. Max’ daughter was at the apartment and Max came in just after me. He welcomed me with open arms and that’s when I knew everything was going to be great. We chatted for a little while, Max told me all about the different projects they are working on. And he showed me the apartment, the views are wonderful, all around are mounta...
