It was a very early start to make the 7am flight. We got picked up by the taxi and after checking in, there was even time for us to enjoy a rather expensive orange juice and empanada/muffin in the departure lounge. Yet another flight with many people wearing masks.

Arrived in Cochabamba at 7.30 and waited until 8am for May Kristin, but s...

Alright so a little bit about Cochabamba, my home for the next month... Basically its the third largest city in Bolivia, and with wonderfully summer like (well Tasmanian summer like) weather all the time, truckloads of incredibly cheap fruit and veg available, the largest market in South America, and the 33 metre tall Cristo de la Concordia (not...

When I signed on I noticed its been a month since I have written. In my mind, it feels like life is continuing as normal. In reality there are many differences between what I previously considered normal, but I am readjusting my idea of normalicy, its a good thing. I am suppose to be traveling the country right now with my friend Faith, but with...

A pit stop in Cochabamba to meet up with Tio Caco, Tia Pilar, Horacio, Sonia, Andres, and Romero

Well, another week has passed. We all had a lot of fun last weekend at Tech Weekend and at all of our cookouts.

A quick lunch is usually 1.5 hours and a relaxing lunch is 3 hours. We tried chicha, a drink that is made locally from fermenting corn. It's drunk in a...

I had to come back to Cochabamba and couldn't have been angrier. The road is terrible, there is nothing to do here, and furthermore, the bus company sent our bags to La Paz. Smelly, worried, and without toothbrush, I wandered around all day again waiting for my luggage. Salsa lessons redeemed the day and at night I was off for a second consecuti...

There is nothing to do here. On my way from La Paz a semi flipped over in the middle of the road and we were stuck for several hours waiting for a crane to move it out of the way. I've been eating a lot of steak and french fries and contemplating watching Superman Returns again (it wasn't good the first time). It's Saturday, why is everything cl...

Yeah, so we flew TAM from Rio to Santa Cruz, and TAM doesnt fly to La Paz, where we want to go, so we are flying LAB from Santa Cruz to La Paz, but it goes back through Cochabamba...where we just came from...NUTS!
