Annie here for her last blog. :(
with just 2 weeks to go now till I head off travelling I'm trying to soak up as much as Cochabamba as I can and do all the things I've wanted to do here since I arrived.
I've tasted all the main typical foods including silpancho, saltenas, pique machu etc. I have yet to try Chicha the sort of corn beer thing as I'm not drinking here but on my travels when I return to Bolivia I will clear up any things missed then!
I'm going to try to climb Mt Tunari on Monday because thats something I've always wanted to do!.....could be interesting with the altitude but we'll take it slow!
So what have I learned from my time here and what will stick with me forever?
Well I have really learned alot about myself (so cliche I know) but its true, I've learned that all around the world their are amazing people that you can make friends with for life. That I have definitely learnt to make compromises in my lifestyle depending on the circumstance...and the amount of money I have?! The things that will stick with me forever are the children here and their stories, the way we can give them a second chance and to see their lives and relationships flourish with this opportunity they've been given, the poverty and the culture of Bolivia, the massive clash of developed vs undeveloped, poor vs rich and of course my friends and all the lovely people I have met here which I hope I can stay in touch with as much as poss!
If you ever have a chance to come out to Bolivia, especially Cochabamba, jump on it! get here! see its beauty and culture! witness the many lives you can change and that can definitely change you!
thankyou for reading!
