These are the daily scenes of my #streetlife in El Oro. Kids playing in the streets, the beautiful ocean Boardwalk, or even catching iguanas in the park. I get to see something new everyday. #ecuador #howiseepc #baphotochallenge @bloggingabroad

Transport here can be costly for most people, so nearly everyone will walk most places around town. The things they bring with them are carried on their heads, as indeed it is the most efficient way to do so, because all of the weight is supported through your spine and legs. With years of practice, many people are even able to balance the things on their heads without holding them. #community #streetlife #baphotochallenge #fishingtown #frozenfish #winneba #ghana #westafrica #africa #everydayafrica #everydayghana #bossbitch

Mercy makes the best Indomie. Not only that but she always remembers me and my order – I don't even have to say anything anymore – and when I don't come around for a while, she always greets me with, "I've been missing you." She's such a gem. #hiddengem #community #baphotochallenge #indomie #nightlife #delicious #dinnertime #winneba #ghana #westafrica #africa #everydayafrica #everydayghana

For just 4 córdobas (14 cents) you can travel throughout Estelí city using the urbano bus system. It feels good to know this #HiddenGem and get around in my #community like a native. #peacecorpsnicaragua #peacecorps #publictransportation #urbonosforthewin #bloggingabroad #BAphotochallenge

My morning walk has been looking exceptionally #green the past few days, thanks to this unexpected rain. #BAphotochallenge

A few weeks ago I was honored to visit the #school of creation/creativity in Orhei. We met talented singers and musicians (both teachers & students) and was introduced to the creations of master woodworkers and fabric artists. The school also teaches the game/sport of chess. At the end of the visit, we were gifted these homemade photo frames, each different and beautiful. We felt so welcomed by this creative #community! #turulmoldovei2016 #BAPhotoChallenge @bloggingabroad Photo credit: Sandra Woodruff

This week I'm in Quito providing a training to teachers from municipal schools. I really enjoy the #community of teachers I work with as a #peacecorps #tefl #volunteer. They are very dedicated to their work and students! @bloggingabroad #baphotochallenge #school #ecuador

Stumbling across beautiful street art in a random little alley in my coastal Colombian town #inspired me to get out and explore more. My goal is to walk or bike down every street in the #community so as not to miss anything hidden and beautiful. #baphotochallenge #btstwowheels

One of my favorite photos from my first year is from one of my favorite memories with my #neighbor Ilana and my partner teacher Mrs. Olga. We talked with students in the US and in South Africa about school here. Ilana is a great student! She is clever, curious, and courageous – three traits that make her a talented learner. She also has a fun dog, Lucky, who sometimes greets me from their balcony. I wish her thr best in 6th grade this coming school year and look forward to classes with her again! #baphotochallenge @bloggingabroad #community

@bloggingabroad My girls and I decided to pay a visit to a #neighbor in the #community this afternoon. 😊 His humor and wisdom still keen, he remains positive. Checking in on those you care about from time to time is oh so necessary. The "Ministry of Presence" evident, you never know who's day you'll make, who's smile you'll brighten. #Children have the attention span comparable to that of fleas so the visit was not very long but prayerfully no less meaningful. Puts a whole new meaning in: "it takes a village!" That it does. #peace #share #kindness #countitALLjoy #ministryofpresence #howIseePC #BAPhotoChallenge

The biggest source of my #cultureshock here in coastal Colombia normally isn't actually visible: the volume of the music. Picos. People build them and paint them with pride, and there are even contests for the loudest pico. At the estaderos, they're often found with men dancing solo in front of them, a dozen beers deep, to the salsa and vallenato blaring out. #baphotochallenge #community #btgoespc #peacecorps #peacecorpscolombia

“#Bloggingabroad #Jamaica #Community #Cultureshock Apparently these plants grow fake hair! Things I saw on the way home from the river!”

It's hard to believe that our #peacecorpsnicaragua Close of Service Conference is here! While @mandrewnilsen and I are extending until next March, our TEFL64 compañer@s are getting ready to head their separate ways. This #community has been through a lot together. I'm thankful for our collective treasure trove of #stories and that each of you will forever understand why this beautiful land of lakes and volcanoes is so dear to my heart. #peacecorps #SomethingILove #Nica64 #howiseepc #cos #bloggingabroad #BAphotochallenge

@bloggingabroad Floarea soarelui (#Sunflowers) are now in full bloom all over #Moldova! It is interesting to see them revealed first in the North and gradually showing themselves in the South. After three seasons now, the progression is actually quite entertaining. 😊 #Moldovans harvest these beauties first (need I say), for "their beauty" and of course for #sunflower #oil and #sunflowerseeds. Sunflowers have been and continue to be #SomethingILove here in Moldova. Blessed to say, I am looking forward to a fourth (season)! Noroc! #countitALLjoy #BAPhotoChallenge

The Simpsons are everywhere in coastal Colombia – and by "everywhere," I mean on TV at the salchipapas place, in graffiti around town, and in English lesson plans for family. #baphotochallenge #americaeverywhere #community #thesimpsons

The perfect way to end Camp Mindo. I love that this meal seems like classic USA, but it has an Ecuadorian twist: BBQ chicken wings, but the sauce is made with cacao, and fried yucca instead of French fries. Washed it all down with a spicy ginger homebrew. Yum! El Quetzal in Mindo does it right. 👏🏼 🍴🍫 @bloggingabroad #baphotochallenge #americaeverywhere #peacecorps #poshcorps #ecuador #campmindo
