Hey Stephanie!

This is Nick from AFS-USA. How's Paraguay going? Well, I am definitely jealous of the opportunity to be in such a wonderful country for so long! Awesome.

I am contacting you because I came across your wonderful blog and you're doing such a great job documenting your trip, with photos and personal reflection (not to mention great Spanish skills!)

I was curious if you would be okay with AFS using some of your best pictures to add to a Paraguay slideshow much like our newly created Thailand Show here:

Also, we have recently created the Official AFS Blog and we would love to feature your blog at some point, if that's okay with you.

Please let me know as soon as you can whether this would be alright. Feel free to email me at ntriolo@afs.org

Thanks Stephanie, and keep on having a great time!

Nick Triolo
AFS-USA Assistant
