Episode 2: “Quarantine In Quito” a Story by Dave Suske
While traveling throug Ecuador, it quickly became clear that this country is truly the capitol of adventure in South America. Most backpackers will start a trip in Quito, and here you have many options of good hostel accomidations.
I first met Danger Dave Suske when I was checking into my dorm room at the Community Hostel in Quito . This place felt like home almost right away, as friendships blossomed among the travelers from countries like Germany, Canada, Finland, Austrilla, and the UK. That was in 2018, and good Ole “Danger Dave” was still there in 2020 as the Ecuador Covid-19 Lockdown came roaring though the capitol. It would leave many travelers stranded asking a lot of questions. So what was it like living in a youth hostel for over 3 months while on lockdown? You will find out on todays episode.
