Thank You!

Thank you South America for an amazing 7 months of my life. I was able to visit the beautiful countries of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. I even enjoyed the beaches of Chile for one day, and viewed the mountain tops of Bolivia from across the lake of Titicaca. I have many wonderful memories, adventures, and stories to tell from this trip.

I am very grateful for all the amazing people i met along the way and will hope to see them again in another country, on another adventure. Alot of the people ive meet, have made such an amazing impact on me, that i would considered them family and am grateful for the time i spent with them. You all hold a special place in my heart.

Especially all the Peruvians I have met. Whether it was the random woman outside the bus station telling the taxi driver he´s charging me too much, (which happened a few times) I loved these older woman, they would look after me without knowing me, and give me that look like, dont take that crap from them! haha.

Thanks to Pablo and his family for taking me in and letting me work in their restuarant and hostel, and in exchange i received so much love and friendship, it was worth so much more than the bed and food they gave me in exchange for the work.

And thanks to the people i met on my last days in Lima, for making my last memories enloyable with your friendliness, kind words, and nice smiles.

Thank you South America...I will be back. I have so much more to see.

Here are some words by my friend Thays Manhuz from Brazil, whom i met at PSF, the volunteer place in Pisco. ¨Quero te contar do vento que sopra das asas de mil borboletas!¨ Translation...¨I want to tell you about the wind that blows from the wings of a thousand butterflys!¨
