Bo and Jamie,
Just read your blog, wow, you guys are doing it. I am so thrilled for you all. Way to go. Way to be courageous. Way to follow your hearts.
I’m super jealous. Let us know if there is something we can do to help.
We find the path by walking it.

Thanks so much John, that means a lot! Hugs to your beautiful family.
Bo and Jamie,
Good on ya… It will be a life changing experience for all of you. In case you would like a contact in Ecuador, Bruce and Laurie Lakin, who live in CB part time and travel the world otherwise, are living in Ecuador right now. They have spent 2 years there in the past, becoming residents, and are living in Cuenca at this time. They can be contacted by Skype (free) with Skype name “blakin49″ or email them at “blakin49@hotmail.com”. They are a wealth of information and have spent months traveling through South America in general.

Bo and Jamie, I’m surprised our paths didn’t cross in 2012. We did our family sabbatical in Peru and Ecuador too. We have been back in NC a month now. Your experiences upon return resonate with mine. My husband and I are seasoned travelers and have worked internationally for years, but this was our first year abroad with our kids as teens. All the best to you in your new life as you build upon such a firm foundation. Abrazos, Carrie Wagner (www.GoGiveLearn.com)
Wow Carrie! Love reading your story as well. Thanks for sharing it!
Hi Bo & Jamie,
Stumbled upon this blog while researching for an upcoming trip in Colombia. Sounds like your family’s experience was absolutely wonderful! Your account of Taganga was especially welcome to me as it’s a place I’m eyeing for a longer stay (possibly as long as three months). I don’t suppose you could connect me to the folks you rented your apartment from during your stay there?
All the best,
Tariq
Hi! So excited to hear you are headed to Colombia, that country took our breath away – and there are so many more places we are hoping to go back and see there!
I found a website for that apartment complex where we stayed: http://www.svahns.com/
Have a safe trip and enjoy!
Best,
Jamie
