[lady-charinette]

Here for the Spring ask! Pride, Thrill, Travel, and Warning :) .

Pride: What is something you're proud of?

Hmm... (sometimes) my writing (the way my readers fall into despair is *chefs kiss*), my cooking and my friends for doing their best during the pandemic

Thrill: What is one thing you're looking forward to?

The start of my new internship! Can't wait to start working with the kids in school and with other professionals from the field (social workers, psychologists...etc.) and learn things that have been difficult to in home office.

Travel: If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

Bolivia, I'm interested in their rich culture and landscape, like Oruro where they hold a lot of festivals during carnival season and have beautiful high plains to explore & visiting museums there to learn more about them first hand. Maybe Hallstatt (in Austria), I've heard good things about it from friends who went hiking on the mountains there (beautiful landscapes, quiant town to explore).

Warning: What would your warning label say?

Any of these

Thanks for the ask krypto! ^_^

From Smithsonian Photo of the Day; February 21, 2018:

The Devil Owns the Carnival in Bolivia

“While visiting Oruro, Bolivia for carnival, I came across a group of demons. This apparently was demon leader. He sulfur his way during that cold night.”
