All Over Peru

Is the sudden drop in altitude, the Colca Sour, this place? Who cares - I'm HAPPY
Is the sudden drop in altitude, the Colca Sour, this place? Who cares - I'm HAPPY
My co-worker Karen and I traveled to Peru! Join me and my mediocre camera on my reflections on my journeys to Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Paracas, and Nazca. We had a wonderful guide the entire trip that gave us a special experience and wonderful insight to the ruins of the different cities has. We enjoyed hiking around Machu Picchu and drinking pisco sours.

Why Go Guided?

Have you ever read a travel guide book and just get overwhelmed? All the information is there, yet somehow you’re still drowning in city maps, tipping suggestions and food recommendations. I very much enjoy the free-flowing itinerary that comes with “just winging it,” but I learned the joys of having a guided tour.

Leave No Trace

“Leave it better than you found it” I could hear my mom saying. That was her answer any time I asked if my cleaning was done yet. I’ve taken this phrase to heart in much more than just cleaning these days. I feel it’s very important we apply this thought to the world around us. I feel like we’re all so determined to …

Purple corn gnocchi at Las Gringas in Arequipa - let the drooling commence

Get in my Belly!

No travel journal is complete without the obligatory post about food! Food is one of my favorite things about traveling because I feel it truly encapsulates any culture. You can look at the ingredients and learn about the climate. The cooking process speaks to cultural aspects like gender roles, spiritual rituals, and economy. This blends over in …

Flying over the Nazca Lines

The World's Saddest Sandwich

I was excited to see the Nazca Lines were on our itinerary. I had seen them referenced on many of my father’s UFO shows like Ancient Aliens. I was less excited when I learned we would be spending all day on a bus to get to said Nazca Lines. Even though you have to fly to see the Lines, there is no commercial airport in the area. The only way …

I'M not going to tell him to move

Dogs

Everywhere. Dogs. In the market, dogs. Sitting outside your hotel, dogs. Outside the gate to Machu Picchu, dogs. I think I found heaven.

I asked our guide if they were all strays, he replied “Yes and no.”

The most beautiful concept was explained to us that these dogs aren’t necessarily “owned” by one person. Sure, …

So happy to finally be standing here!

I’ve Been Pronouncing Machu Picchu Wrong

I won’t go too in depth, but I learned there’s a slight “ct” sound in “Picchu,” like you would say “picture.” You can Google what “Mach-oo Pee-Choo” actually means…

I had been talking to travelers about this wonder of the world countless times on the phone. My cubicle walls were …

Largest stone in Sacsayhuaman

Aliens?

I’m very fortunate to have a crazy family. Being a daughter of a dedicated MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) Member enabled me to have a very open-minded view on life. I’m not a master of, but am familiar with topics like sacred geometry, extraterrestrial life, astrology, and crystology.

Peru is such a fun place to explore these ideas. It …

Sampson and I are anxious to see Machu Picchu

Packing List for People that Like to Just Wing-it

I’m a Pisces in the most extreme way. I go with the flow so much that I often don’t prepare well or at all really, because “Whatever happens, happens,” right? It’s great to be flexible, but just take a minute to consider the following. I recognize this is common sense for most people, but I was just that nonchalant …
