ALICE MOORE
email: alice.moore[at]lead-adventures.com While studying at university in the United States, Alice Moore discovered she had a passion for Spanish. After much research, Alice decided to study abroad in Ecuador. She fearlessly jumped on an airplane and headed toward Ecuador leaving behind her simple, comfortable American lifestyle behind. In Ecuador, she became attached to this beautiful country as she rafted in the jungle of Tena, hiked down canyons and waterfalls in Banos, and explored the cannopied cloud forest of Mindo. Alice wants to help you connect with Ecuador the same way she did and introduce you to everything this beautiful country has to offer!
