Why not?
Well, here I go. So it seemed like everything was all fun and games here in Peru, until now. Homesickness is a terrible, terrible thing and here I am feeling this way. I can’t really pin point my reason for feeling this way. I figured that I must have one but maybe not. I’m pulling through but I miss my home and most importantly, my comfort. I’m trying so hard to find a happy place here and today I just can’t.
So yea, that’s how I’m feeling but what I’m doing keeps me going.
I came back from Ancash at 6am this morning; it was a 7 hour bus ride. Yup, I left at 11pm. Ancash is soo amazing. The scenery is to die for…mountains, green, yesss! That was nice. I’ve definitely missed the mountains. There is just something about la sierra that makes me smile. Besides enjoying the scenery, we actually did some work; manual labor included. Digging holes for latrines and mixing mud for cocinas mejoradas. It’s all so cool and surreal…always. We also got to work with a youth group which was nice. The volunteers we met were ending their 2 year service and it’s weird to see myself in the beginning of this adventure and them at the end. Craaazy indeed.
Training is almost over and this is yet another bittersweet moment for me. I’m excited to find out where I’ll be for the next 2 years but definitely a little sad that Salud will be scattered across Peru. I am so thankful for an amazing group of people.
Close in proximity should not be the reason people are close. Make sense? Eh. I’ll stop blabbing.
Trying to stay sane and using music to comfort me greatly.
Stay tuned: On Friday, November 6th, my 2 year location will be revealed.
Breathe. <3
