When our youngest daughter was 5 years old - the youngest of six - my husband passed away. And after spending more than 20 years in our jungle home, I moved to the city, where most of the children were already studying and where my mother had made her home.
I did some more courses in French (DALF) and English (CAE - Cambridge Advanced English) and started working as a translator via the internet: oDesk.com mainly.
After my youngest daughter got married, I went to Germany for about 6 years, where I worked as a gardener, started writing in earnest and enjoyed the family of my youngest son.
Back in Bolivia for some years, but the last two years back in Germany, this time in the north, enjoying the family of another of my sons. I travel to Southamerica at least once a year, however. My children are living in Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, and Germany... Not to speak about my 15 grandchildren and so far 2 greatgrandchildren!
