My New Addiction in Bolivia… and My Favorite Dealer
Considering I am in Bolivia, you might have thought I was talking about something else. But the addictive substance I am talking about is totally legal. I walk 2.5 blocks to get it every day. It costs 8 Bolivianos (US$1.15) a pop. I am considering upping it to two per day. […]

When I first got to Sucre, I was amazed at how beautiful the city is.

Bolivia Scares the Sh** Out of Me
Maybe I’ve grown soft traveling in Argentina and Chile for the last year. (Wow, I cannot believe I spent that much time in two countries. I do like slow travel and enjoy the pseudo-expat life.)
