One hope one fear and one curiosity

One hope one fear and one curiosity 

One hope I have is that I will feel a deeper connection to nature though being in Bolivia and experiencing the coca leaf in the cultural environment. One fear is that it will be hard for me to communicate and connect with people due to language barriers.  One curiosity I have is I would like to look into some of the different arts and see what different styles the people of Bolivia bring about.

I can't wait to visit Bolivia and get to know the people and the culture. Im so happy to be taking this course with Carol and I know it will be a fantastic trip. I've been planning to go on this trip since freshman year so I can't believe it's finally here! My one biggest fear has to be the plane rides- I've been having nightmares about them which is no fun and I don't like planes or flying over water in general. I'm also slightly nervous about the language barrier because I only have 2 years of Spanish under my belt. As for something I'm curious about, I'm curious to see how well the coca tea helps with the altitude. I usually struggle with altitude so it will be interesting to see if the tea helps and I am able to run at the pace I normally run at!
