This week has been BEAUTIFUL! The sun was shining almost every day! I took advantage of this weather and went outside every chance I could. This week was pretty relaxing with not much traveling.
What do Camarones and Leticia in Colombia, Iquitos and Puno in Peru, and Mompiche in Ecuador all have in common? They are all places where boats or canoes are a main form of transportation!
What's it like to study Korean for the first time while actually in Korea? There are ups and downs, lots of studying and many ways to stay motivated along the way.
In this journal I'm going to talk about what it has been like to integrate myself into the community here. I am going to break it down into five phases.
There are so many traditions that these communities hold, and I love learning about the ones in Spain. Practicing, learning, and appreciating traditions are all great ways to understand a culture.
There are so many delicious foods to try in Brazil, from the familiar favorites (coffee) to new and exciting surprises (sugarcane juice and açai). Who knew you could learn so much from a snack?
The Amazon is the largest, longest river in the world! Hot, humid and thumping with incredible wildlife, it is often called la corazon, or the heart, of the world by the communities that live there!
