This week in this blog, we’re talking about La Paz and souvenir shopping!
For many travelers, souvenir shopping is a beautiful part of the trip; for others, it’s not that important.
But whether you're a shopper or not, it's always nice to spend some time exploring the traditional handicrafts a country has to offer. Personally, I love it! From all my trips around the world, I always end up filling my backpack with both necessary and not-so-necessary items.
One of the coolest things I ever bought was a didgeridoo in Alice Springs, Australia.
After a lot of trouble carrying it, I decided to send it to Sweden for a little rest. When it finally arrived, I had to pay so many fees and taxes that it became very expensive and I didn’t even have a good place to put it! But after spending all that money, I decided to send it again, this time to Bolivia.
Now it finally has its place in Café del Mundo in the Oceania section! We've actually had a few travelers who managed to play the instrument
