Flight

Started out the day at a nice 6:30 am PDT to put the final touches on my pre-departure preparations. Having gone to bed at 3:15 am, just hours before, didn't help. After breakfast with the parents, got on the road to the airport in good time. Since it was an international flight, my first checked bag was free, but the second cost $55 - lame. Having made awesome time to …

Volunteering in Ecuador

Volunteering in Ecuador can be hit or miss. Everything in Ecuador can be hit or miss. It´s how the place works. Buses don´t show up, the power goes out or the government decides to change something and tell people about it the day before. It keep things interesting. Once you live here for a while you get used to it. A friend of mine puts it this way, "You definitely …

Choosing the right volunteer abroad program

created on: Sep 02, 2010 | Kenya

Travelling is a passion to some while others do it to get away from their routine. Volunteer travel is a more rewarding experience if you want to do more sitting in a hotel and seeing museums and animals. Volunteering abroad is a life changing experience for anyone who does it, whether you are in your teens, in college, taking a career break and whether you have retired. The experience you …

Holiday!

by: AbbyKlingle

created on: Sep 01, 2010 | Montevideo, Uruguay

Okay, so it's time to revisit that holiday thing I mentioned before. Today is "un día feriado," meaning a holiday. There are no classes or work for most people today, which is basically the Uruguayan Independence Day. But, it's actually a false independence day. It is the anniversary of Uruguay's independence from Brazil, at which point it became part of Argentina...it wasn't until a few …

No me Gusta el Grande dolor en mi Garganta

created on: Sep 01, 2010 | Montevideo, Uruguay

First of all, I did receive the package from my mom, including my camera's memory card. Unfortunately, it came up with a card error and I'm pretty sure the problem is the camera, not the card. So, for now, still no pictures. There should be another camera in the mail tomorrow so I can finally start taking pictures, a month into the trip...hahaha. Good thing …

This weekend I went to Colonia del Sacramento! It is the oldest city in Uruguay, originally a colony of Portugal. I went with 6 other foreigners for the day on Saturday. The city is small but pretty, located on the coast of the Rio de la Plata, a huge estuary that connects with the ocean between Uruguay and Argentina. The seven of us, hailing from 5 …

Episodes in Eating

created on: Sep 01, 2010 | Montevideo, Uruguay

So, apologies for the long silence, I´ll make up for it now. I´ve been without internet for the past 9 days at the school. I suppose a lot has happened. First of all, when I moved into my room here, there was a leak in the ceiling after the heavy rain...so I was promptly moved to a different room, which also has a door to a …
