Bolivia is not a country we hear a lot about it in Tasmania - it's far away, it's landlocked with cities high up in the mountains where the people play panpipes - it's like a fantasy country in the minds of many. The reality is, that like many countries it's quite an unequal society and so people will seek their fortunes in other places. It wouldn't be totally accurate to describe Lucia's journey this way, but she did leave Bolivia after finishing high school to seek a better or different future in Chile. Lucia would eventually travel to Melbourne to study after deciding to take a different career path and, to cut a long story short, she ended up in Tasmania in 2019 and got a job in the tourism sector. Needless to say, 2020 was a difficult year for that sector and Lucia faced a tough struggle to find another job, but things now seem to have worked out and she says "I think I have found my spot here in Tassie".
