I want to connect with local people and cultures and do some volunteering, especially in farms and nature :) I am quite an adventurous and expressive person, I love to laugh, dance and have interesting conversations with people.

Solo travel experience

I was solo traveling in Bolivia for 20 days. I started my trip in Sucre, went to Uyuni, and then La Paz. I was worried before, but now I can say that I felt really safe. I used local buses, and taxis, and explored so much. My only recommendation in Bolivia is to be aware of scams. One guy sold me a bus ticket to another city for double the price.

Solo travel experience

Felt pretty safe as a female solo traveler but of course with some general awareness. Bolivia is such a beautiful country with lovely people and I totally recommend going. I flew into La Paz and it was a bad idea, as I got altitude sickness. I would recommend flying into a lower city as it's truly hard to know if you are susceptible or not.

Solo travel experience

I was in Bolivia, and I really liked this country because of its diversity. It has mountains with glaciers, lakes full of flamingos, endless salt flats, jungle, and pampas. As for safety, I was alone, didn't speak Spanish, and I felt safe.
