About this blog

This trip to South America should be the journey of a lifetime - that is if I manage to brave months of being treated as a pin cushion beforehand! So many injections, so little time.

Hola a todos! El abril que viene, me voy a Peru, para trabajar en un orfanato durante tres meses. Estoy bastante nerviosa, pero estoy segura que va a ser la experiencia de mi vida!
