I’m really excited to interview David Karamanis of The Traveling Pod about La Paz, Bolivia. David’s tips for the best things to do in La Paz are awesome because he spent six months in Bolivia as a tourist while also donating his podiatry services to locals who needed his help. He’s been to Bolivia twice now and loves exploring the mountains and meeting its people.
