i have had so many experiences while volunteering where i want it more than them... i had to realize i could only do so much. I used to suggest adn offer suggestions and give advice, i stopped. I did what they wanted, and that was all. I used to wear myself out going above and beyond, but you can only do so much. It gets frustrating.

I think you did your best, and i would of left a long time ago! I loved my time in Botswana but honestly I was there a month and left. I want to go to Uganda, and other countries in Africa, but I have to be mentally preparred to go back.

I hope you take some time to rest. I can only do so much volunteering and then need a month off!!

Full time travel is never all sunshine and rainbows, and talking about the failures helps just as much as the positive.

I could write 100 articles on bad days, we just don't because we always want to realize that we are lucky to full time travel, yet it is still real life, just different. I get it. completely.

well if you come to colombia you have a place to stay, as long as i am here! we have hot water and gas!
