I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 709. Today the amateur traveler talks about

waterfalls and beaches, a huge dam and mission ruins, Estesions and Philadelphia but not that one as we go to Paraguay.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about

Paraguay. I'd like to welcome to the show Angel Hernandez from California but who's come to talk to us about Paraguay.

Angel, welcome to the show.

Thank you, Chris.

And Angel, what's your connection with Paraguay?

Myself and my family lived in Paraguay between the year 2005 and 2015.

Well, you were going to be back this year if we weren't locked down as I recall.

Yes, that is true.

We had one week plan to go there and then we were unable to do that.

So we're looking forward to rescheduling that trip.

Excellent.

And why should someone go to Paraguay? There's a beauty in Paraguay. The people there, they definitely stand up to me and to my family. We were received by the Paraguay and people when we moved there. So we were able to just be a part of a community when we were without

family so it was easy. The culture there is very laid back. The stressors are not the

same as anything here in the United States, different culture,

different life in a way.

There's not a lot of pressure.

And that's something that you can see in the people

and see how they kind of take on their day.
