In this episode we spoke with Ximena Purita Banegas Zallio from Bolivia and Juan Pablo Rabanales Lau (known as JP) from Guatemala. This is again a two-part episode and this is part two. If you missed part one you can check it out now on your streaming platform. In the first part of this episode, we ended by talking about how Ximena and JP came to going abroad and the characteristics that are developed through such an experience.

This second part will pick up with Ximena sharing about her studies of anthropology and dance (check out her recent dance project here: https://www.facebook.com/pamela.santana.9803/posts/10164004508870548) and how she keeps active in that area while working in a different field. JP then shares about his enjoyment of outdoor and travel activities before the conversation shifts to the political unrest in the US, how that relates to other places in the world, and what they hope for coming out of this time.
