| Coming to CochabambaMy wife and I are planning to come to Cochabamba to live in the summer of 2006. I'm a retired Naval Officer currently teaching High School, my wife is the bookkeeper/office manager for a comercial Real Estate Company. We will be living in Sacaba. I am looking for work leads. Any good info in shipping household goods, long term visas etc would be appreciated also. Thanks, Ken |
| Hey Ken, My wife is from Bolivia, cochabamba & will be there in july2006 with my kids, they will go to school there as we are very dissatisfied with sub standard education system in US. There are some jobs available in some American schools, just wanted to let you know. Unfortunately, I will not be able to go with wify & kids at this moment. As I would hate to quit my job. Currently work at EMC as software engineer, this pretty much covers all our bills for now. But I am working on a job transfer, but most probably in san Paulo, brazil. I found plenty of moving companies, but tax rate is not clear to me. I was told this was their primary source of income & will be taxed pretty high. Other than that you can surely find a job in schools. Let me know if you need the links. Thanks & Regards, johnny Agarwal |
| Hi Ken, I just found this site. I know we are on August 2007 but if it is of any help you may contact Hughes Schools at 4274053 or 4275053 located on Kilometer 6 to Sacaba. American teachers are always in need. Have a great stay. Dalcy |

| Seth have you any concept of the construction and roofing materials and techniques used in Bolivia? |
| if your looking for jobs in that area, put an add in there newspaper or look in the yellowpages.com and look under the jobs you are looking for employment and contact them and see if they are hiring. |
| Does anybody have a link on for info on the jobs in Bolivia? I have no idea what the employment is like there? |
| Here is a website to help you with employment in Bolivia. Hope it helps. |
| I hope this helps you to find the job of your choice. |
| I am interested in doing some volunteer work in Bolivia. Can anybody help me with the information on how to get this started? |
| What type of volunteer work are you looking to do Ned? |
| anything really. i need credits for college. |
| did you get any luck on the volunteer work work ned? |
| Nothing in Cochabamba, but i got the hours i needed.. |
| I also need to do some volunteer hours to complete some college courses. I am majoring in history education. If anyone knows where I can go that would let me do some volunteer work please let me know the information or the link. |
| Chip where are you looking to do your volunteer work, in Cochabamba? If so I might be able to help you out. |
| I also would like to know if there is any volunteer work available I need to complete 1000 hours of volunteer work as part of a college credit in another country, so I would like as much information as possiable. |
| no reply back about the volunteer work yet? I would like to know more info on this also. |
| Ken, all the best as you plan to relocate to Cochabamba(quite a tongue twister). Johhny's post has quite enlightened me but I am surprised you are talking of declining education standards in the US. How true is that? Volunteering has quite a large scope. It is also important to know that some volunteer organizations actually pay some allowances. I hope this site becomes of much help |
| You can find an awful amount of info here. Plenty to do in Cochabamba, just find you way around. I´m sure you will be fine. Good luck. |
| I still find the name of the place much of a tongue twister. It seems I did not upload any web as per my claim. Here is what you may want to look at. Hope it is still timely! |
| As is usual with most initial posters, a person will ask a question and never bother to return and check stuff out. You wonder if all you have done was necessary in the first place? How common are expat jobs in Cochabamba? How can the economy there be said to be doing? What is the people's first language? |
| Cochabamba! Interesting name. Not always so, but from a name one can usually tell a lot about a place, or at least one can get an idea of what the place may be like. Truly, sort of a tongue twister indeed. I have never heard of this place before, but I think that I would would love to do some research on the web and learn a little about Cochabamba. See just how interesting this place truly is. |
| My two cents! Many expats arrive in a country, possibly retired and open to the new surroundings and culture, but with a some apprehension like they are standing before the unknown. Naturally, this will wear off in time, but for some it can last a long while. My recommendation would be to "get out there", see the places, meet the people. Try to "merge" and find out who they really are. Get to know what´s going on in your community and become a part of it. If interested in working, perhaps you can visit possible employers, be it schools, colleges, businesses, churches, etc. You can learn a lot in bars and meet interesting people! |
| Due to its year-long mild temperatures, Cochabamba is otherwise known as the 'City of Eternal Spring'. It is the third largest city in Bolivia and you can find it in a valley holding the same name in the Andes mountain range. Overlooking this enchanting city is the largest statue of Christ in the world, at 33m it is the 'Cristo de la Concordia'. The 'Capilla Cristo de las Lágrimas de San Pedro' is the most famous attraction in the city. In this chapel, you'll find a sculpture of Christ that allegedly cries tears of blood every Good Friday. Museums such as the 'Museo de Fotografía Antigua' and the 'Museo de Escritores' are a must see. Read more on this link: |
