Walking tours are probably the best free things you could possibly participate in when looking to do something new in a foreign country. On my third day in Lima, my friend and I went on a walking tour which took us around downtown Lima. We experienced riding a metro (not a train, not a subway…I’m… Read more: Last days in Lima & Going Home

Day 2 of my Lima adventure was probably my favorite. The morning started off great! With staying at Kaclla, the guests receive inclusive breakfasts. I thought I’d just get some bread and coffee, but no! We got so much food! In our bags, we each got a bag of cereal, a bag of bread, and… Read more: Exploring Lima, Peru

I think a lot of flavors used in Peru include cilantro, because the first meal my host family gave me also tasted as if it had… Read more: First Taste of Peruvian Food

It all started at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport (which I do not have pictured here because,  in all honesty. it seemed too boring on the grand scale of the biggest adventure I was about to pursue). I got to the airport at approximately 2:33 p.m. My flight was at 5:53 p.m. 6 hours later (more… Read more: En route to Arequipa
