PPEL and journalism double major, Logan Jones-Wilkin’s journey took him the length and breadth of Ecuador, where he had the opportunity to see and feel how the government’s road building investment affected regions differently. Over his nearly 1,500 miles of riding, he ascended and descended mountains, rode through rainforests, and crossed the equator six times.
"Over the two and a half weeks of riding through most corners of the country, I conducted interviews, documented my sensations, and built a story around the country’s roads and the politics surrounding them."
