Planting tree in Almaty

Planting tree in Almaty

I got a contact through another member of Couch Surfing club I could contact for my project. I called Ariana but actually we couldn’t understand each other as she does not speak English. She called me back in the evening when she had one of her collogues around who could speak proper English. We organized to visit an orphanage. It was my only chance to meet kids here in Almaty because schools are already closed now for summer holiday. We went to the orphanage with Aigerim and Ariana. Kids were so sweet. They were really nice and cute. They showed me around their building, their bed rooms, library …etc.we had a tea break where we could sit all around the table drinking tea and talking about trees. Afterward I showed them some of my pictures and then we planted a tree which was donated by Dauren from Pasadi Derevo. ( I already wrote about him and his project but anyway you can find more at www.Pasadiderevo.kz).

Finally I said goodbye to Chile and I left Chile. It was an amazing experience and memories living n Chile and Argentina for 14 months. What a lovely people, amazing nature and a great oportunity to improve my Spanish and visiting Patagonia. 
I was planning to visit Iran but I couldnt buy the ticket to go to Iran, so I changed my plan and I came to Brasil where I can plan upcoming months of my journey. 
Now I am still trying to find out where to go next! Ecuador, Colombia or Mexic? which one will be my next destination? I will find out soon.
