Catch Up Post Pt 2 – Malandela’s Farm | Half a World Away...

https://daniellamastracci.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/catch-up-post-pt-2-malandelas-farm

Half a World Away…. Going to seeing where life takes me. Catch Up Post Pt 2 – Malandela’s Farm. June 23, 2011. Swaziland has been sort of surreal since arriving. The entire property is all about the details. There is the crop circle, which is dotted with ‘lollipops’ which are tall rose tree sculptures which have hundreds of roses in each; there are the animal sculptures which are hidden throughout the gardens and include a lioness, elephant, rhinos among others.

Taxis y Novios | Half a World Away...

https://daniellamastracci.wordpress.com/2010/10/27/taxis-y-novios

Half a World Away…. Going to seeing where life takes me. October 27, 2010. Taxis in Guayaquil are a funny thing. It’s inevitable that you will need to use them at some point, especially as. Is not the safest place to walk around at night. Most of them live in the area too so it’s great to be able to see people you recognize on the streets. His intense persistence allowed me to make my decision pretty quickly. And it was not in his favour. The phone calls. Oh….the phone calls. No...This is not what I have...

Musica….Pt 1 | Half a World Away...

https://daniellamastracci.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/musica-pt-1

Half a World Away…. Going to seeing where life takes me. Musica….Pt 1. February 8, 2011. After asking around I found out that I was fortunate enough to have one of the best live music bars at the end of my street. Diva Nicotina. The scene was the same when we most recently went to see local indie rock band Niñosaurios’ birthday show. Their catchy, bouncy tunes got the crowd moving and thrown into the mix were lots of balloons, confetti and a giant octopus piñata. Posted by Daniella Mastracci. Address nev...

Half a World Away…. Going to seeing where life takes me. December 17, 2010. As mentioned before, the energy and enthusiasm the members of Chongón show towards this project is incredible.

https://daniellamastracci.wordpress.com/2011/04/03/ch-ch-ch-changes

Half a World Away…. Going to seeing where life takes me. April 3, 2011. Wow, just realized had about 5 posts started, but hadn’t posted in over a month. How things have changed! Since my last post, I had a quick couple weeks to visit the Carribean Coast of Colombia. What a gorgeous country and having been my first time on the Carribean, I was in awe of the blue waters and white sands. Incredible. So Ecuador, remember, I will be back and hopefully there will be no hard feelings😉. Enter your comment here.

Falling for Ecuador | Half a World Away...

https://daniellamastracci.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/falling-for-ecuador

Half a World Away…. Going to seeing where life takes me. February 6, 2011. So, our time here is almost supposed to be up. 6 months south of the equator is coming to an end, and what a 6 months it has been! Down here. I was especially worried about living in Guayaquil, having heard not the greatest things about the city from people who had passed through before. Not to mention how beautiful this country is! From getting to better know Cerro Blanco. On the coast where you can pass the day on a gorgeous bea...

Mi primera charla | Half a World Away...

https://daniellamastracci.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/mi-primera-charla

Half a World Away…. Going to seeing where life takes me. January 24, 2011. In December, I had spent a few weeks organizing and planning a charla about recycling for children in the communities surrounding Cerro Blanco. The need for the sharing of information came after they completed surveys for us about what they knew about the topic. The results of the survey showed that they did not fully understand the concept. Finally, after the last of the participating kids taped up their bottles, we were finally ...

https://daniellamastracci.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/theres-a-bushfire-burning-outside-my-door

Half a World Away…. Going to seeing where life takes me. There’s a bushfire burning outside my door…. July 15, 2011. Well, there WAS a bushfire burning outside my door on the weekend of May 27 – 29. The Bushfire Music and Arts Festival was held at House on Fire which is literally a few meters away from my house. Now I’m no stranger to a music festival and I can honestly say it was amazing to be living right smack in the middle of it. Also to be noted there was a fantastic marketplace featuring craft from...
