Here is the official gear list for the Ecuador Semester. I have included only the items that I don't already have. If you are able to lend or give me any of the items on this list, or let me know where I might be able to find these items at lower prices, that would be an awesome contribution towards my fund raising efforts. However, please call me before sending anything. Thanks for supporting my adventure!
