Titicaca Baby

Welcome to my travel page! I hope you find it interesting and helpful. I would like to share my traveling experiences with you and would love to hear from you too. I was born in Taiwan and my parents immigrated to South America when I was 2 years old. They moved to a beautiful and unusual place called Bolivia. Its name came after Simon Bolivar when he liberated us and became our first president. I grew up in the department of Cochabamba, i.e. Bolivia is divided by 9 departments, between Santa Cruz and La Paz. The population in Bolivia is only 8,139,180 and in Cochabamba it¡¦s 448,756. Considerably a very small town, apparently Bolivia has one of the smallest populations in South America. I grew up in Bolivia, lived in Cochabamba a couple years and finished high school in Santa Cruz. Traveled all the time from CBBA to Santa Cruz, La Paz, Tarija. CBBA stays in the middle when traveling from these two bigger cities, especially by land. CBBA is called the heart of Bolivia, and looking at it from a bigger aspect, even perhaps the heart of South America!! During my time in South America, I visited Argentina, Brazil in high school. Lived and studied in Paraguay for 1 year. After university I moved to Taiwan, it was the first time to visit my country of origin. I did get an unexpected culture shock. In Taiwan my view of traveling and living abroad was broaden as I met a lot of travelers, people living and teaching in Asia. I traveled to Thailand alone for the first time, it was so easy!! And I loved it, Thailand is a beautiful place, been back 3 times now. Thankfully my job allows me to go places; it took me to Japan and the US. I decided to move to London as I had never been to Europe and was curious about the culture, the humor, the beerƒº, the music, its history. I always believed the best way to understand a culture was to live in a place for a year or two. You get to experience more. Hopefully in a year or two I can be in Australia!! Enjoy my travel page, more information will come as I update.

Palabras de Bertolt Brecht

Hay hombres que luchan un dia y son buenos.
Hay hombres que luchan un año y son mejores.
Hay quienes luchan mucho anos y son muy buenos,
Pero hay quienes luchan toda la vida,
esos son los imprescindibles

Words

There are men who fight one day and are good.
There are men who fight one year and are better.
There are some who fight many years and they are better still.
But there are some that fight their whole lives,
these are the ones that are indespensable
