Do you live in Quito, or are you just visiting? Im traveling through south america right now w-a girlfriend and we´ll be in Quito in a couple weeks. We really haven´t gotten many good tips from people about it, do you have any suggestions? Anything we really shouldnt miss?

I live here. First, when and how long will you be here? There is a wide variety of things to do here, but it depends on how much time you have and what you're in to.
As far as the city goes, the general partying and what not takes place in La Mariscal. It's a good time, but heed advice in guidebooks about safety. If you don't use common sense it can get dicey (like a lot of travel). For things to see, the Teleferico is worth the trip (it's a cable car that takes you to the top of the mountain overlooking the city. There's a good 2-3 hour hike from where it drops you off to the volcanic crater. A word of advice: if you plan to do the hike, go early, as it gets cold when the sun goes down. Also, it's worth considering that it is the rainy season. Storms at the top can drop temperatures even more, and it has been known to snow up there.
Let's see, what else? Centro Historico is very nice, there's lots to see. If you are into museums I can pass that kind of info your way. Another option is to try to catch the Ecuador/Peru world cup qualifier soccer match. I'm not entirely sure when it is, something tells me it's Nov. 20.
If I can do a bit of shameless semi-self-promotion, I work as a writer/editor for V!VA Travel Guides (the office is based here). From Nov. 26-30 we are offering a guidebook writing boot camp, essentially a five-day (OK, half-day) course on how to write hotel/restaurant/tour operator reviews and travel reviews for guidebooks. It's geared specifically toward our own style, but generally it is information you can use on any number of travel websites, blogs, etc. to get paid (a little) and prolong your travels. Anyhow, if you (a) are going to be here around then and (b) might be interested in writing up reviews on places that you are going to go after Ecuador, there's a chance you can earn something (again, not a lot, but maybe a per diem to cover some expenses) in order to prolong your trip. This is the first time we are offering the course, so we're not sure how everything will work, but it might be a good opportunity. OK, semi-self-promotion over.

Anyhow, maybe this would be easier if I knew the when and how long answer. Get back to me and I can tailor my answers accordingly.
