I really enjoy Hiking. We have beautiful mountains here.

I love smoked pork ribs at Las Islas, a place where you can find all kinds of local food at very affordable costs. Delicious!

Las Islas, lovely and affordable local food, hiking around Cochabamba, visiting the jungle, doing rafting (4 hours from here) and visiting Toro Toro National Park... beautiful!!

I love hiking and exercising. There are many areas around the city where you can do so and the mountains are very nearby - maybe 10 minutes from our language school by public transportation.
 
What is the most memorable episode that you have experienced with a World Unite! participant?
 
Oh... so many but the most recent... We went rafting on a stormy day with two participants, Madita and Hannah... OMG! We had so much fun! The river was wild but the company we used was good and we were all safe. What an adventure! Also we made a two day hike to the Inca Trail TAKESI in La Paz. Jenny is with us, a former Wolrd Unite! volunteer.
