Über diesen Titel
As he traveled through and lived in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru, the newly re-named “Doctor” Alonzo found himself surrounded by indigenous peasant leaders and communities in raucous tribal celebrations, social movements for change, wonders of nature, and marvels of human kindness and romance while hitchhiking to the very tip of South America and its glaciers and penguins. But also sometimes unexpected dangers - near-death illness in the jungle, getting shot at in a police-military crossfire, an arrest and detention behind bars by an anti-American colonel looking to jail some gringos, tear gas, and police truncheons from Nazi-influenced fascists in Chile, terrorist car bombs in Peru, and an expulsion order by a drugs and thugs US Ambassador in Bolivia when he got in the way of illicit spying.
Listen to his Andean Adventures to begin a journey of discovery and insight today! Storytelling interwoven with a memoir of public health, community development service, and spiritual discovery overseas in Peace Corps and nongovernmental organizations and USAID, sharing with self-deprecating humor experiences across the Andes and Latin America. Full of anecdotes and some remarkable stories from South American countries.
Reflecting on the role and structure of foreign assistance, on religion, and on other topics many of us spend time questioning and dealing with. For some, a provocative discussion and meditation on searching for meaning and purpose after college. A story of successes, failures, redemption, challenges, faith, and perseverance.
“Doctor Alonzo” writes with humor and wisdom, and shares his amazing journey, from his Peace Corps days through the beginning of his career with the US Agency for International Development. Recorded and narrated by the author.
