Adventures

Travelling

In 2017, I left with a friend for 4 months on a trip to South America. First, we stayed for one month with a host family in Sucre, Bolivia, to improve our Spanish skills. For us, it was important to be able to communicate with the local people. After that, we discovered with our backpacks the rest of Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. I greatly appreciated being flexible, tied to nothing, being able to get up in the morning and decide at the same time what the next destination was going to be or if we were going to stay even longer in the same place. Something we do not know about in our daily lives. During this trip, I not only learned a lot about these different countries but also about myself. The time spent in South America made me realise many things and changed my way of seeing them. I did not realise how privileged I was to be able to study. But above all, I learned one thing; it does not take much to be happy!
