Adios Cochabamba, Hola Pittsburgh
In-Country Experience I cannot believe we have already returned from our in-country experience. Our trip to Cochabamba was filled with amazing memories with our amigos from CEOLI and Amizade.

An unBOLIVIAble Experience

Saying Goodbye to My New Home in South America
Leaving Bolivia was one of the saddest moments I’ve had to experience so far in my life. The friendships that I formed seemed as if I have had them my whole life, and it was so difficult to say goodbye. One of the reasons that I think I was able to form these very close…
Thank You Bolivia!
As I am sitting in my apartment in Pittsburgh writing this blog on Sunday, it is hard to believe that one week in Bolivia is already over. Our time spent there flew by but was packed with such memorable experiences that will forever stay with me. There were good times and also sad times but…
