After a few days of classes at basecamp in Cochrane, our group packed our things (minus our tents and back country bidets) and hit the road yet again! This time we went south to Caleta Tortel, a small village situated at the northernmost edge of the Southern Patagonian Icefield.

After an early morning wake up and a dreary (but beautiful) drive South from our basecamp in Cochrane, Anna and I were thrilled when our instructor Felipe pulled up in front of the picturesque campo that was going to be our home for the next week.

This moment not only motivated me to come back, but it gave me inspiration to continue to travel as much as I can to meet more incredible people with entirely different life experiences… and to see more sunsets.

While at Mababe Camp, I spent several days with Godfrey, one of the camp’s leaders, trying to see the bush the way he does—paying attention to the small things, figuring out how to handle challenges, and making the most of life at camp.

One of my favorite things about my time in Botswana so far has been learning about and experiencing the local cultures, especially the music and dance. Sound and rhythm have a uniting quality – they seem to cross the language barrier.
