Hello, I am Justin Crump, and I am very excited for the Plus3 Ecuador trip. I am just finishing up my freshman year at Pitt. I am currently undecided in the business field. I am from the Philly area and grew up in West Chester, PA. I was really interested in traveling to Ecuador because it really felt like a once in a lifetime experience compared to the other locations. I felt like after college life, I would have a much better chance at exploring other locations that Plus3 offers. Ecuador also has a diverse array of ecosystems that I am really looking forward to exploring. Most importantly I am really interested in learning more about global economy. I am really interested to learn more about of the rose and chocolate industries and how they adjust to high demand time frames such as Valentines Day and Mother’s Day. This is my first time ever visiting a foreign country outside of the time I spent a half of a day in Canada while getting stuck on a Ferris wheel in the in the middle of a hailstorm, and I am super excited!
