    That's so awesome to see you explore my country. I am taking a trip this summer to go around La paz, Copacabana and Uyuni and I am so excited! It's nice to see foreigners appreciate our culture and be so kind.

    You’re mom’s not gonna be proud when she hears you call mass a session 🤣 another great vid man. How did you like being solo. Also I think I saw somewhere that locals chew coca leaves for altitude sickness. I think I saw it on worlds most dangerous roads where drivers would chew on that when they drive up the mountain lol

    • @mattlvng
      @mattlvng  2 роки тому +1

      Yep ! Your right! People chew coca leaves extremely often here. I tried it but all it did was numb my mouth for like 20 minutes. I was on a car ride for about 6 hours yesterday, and all my driver did was chew coca leaves hahaha. Guess it kept him awake 🤣. Solo traveling is great, very easy to make friends as there are many solo travelers, especially in South America. At first, it was nerve wrecking to me to be in a country where I know no one, but I got used to it. Thanks for watching !

    If you go on the red line. As you approach the top on the left side you will see a car lodged in the cliff. The car flew off the road and landed there. Til this day no one has checked to see if anyone is in there

      I would say safer but not much safer. I met several people who got pickpocketed in La Paz. Getting assaulted seems unlikely in La Paz but pickpocketing I’m sure happens veryyyyy often

    Saying 'America' to refer to the US in a country where virtually everyone consider America to be a continent, not a country, and where the majority of the population actually originates from that continent, is disrespectful. But I shouldn't expect much from someone who isn't even getting the capital of that country right.
