Right now I’m telling myself – “you’ve only got one more week left. It’s not long”. I’m getting to the point now where I am struggling a little bit with the dynamics of this work ~ mainly the prejudicial, ‘old man’ mentality. It’s hard for me to describe, but I think you will understand when [...]
The past 3 weeks have literally been so crazy, dramatic, unexpected and difficult. Let's just say challenging.

I'm currently sitting on a public bus to Barbosa, a small overlooked city less than an hour away from Medellin.
