My daring young self ventured to India and Nepal for an exhilarating 2-month adventure!

Epic Landscapes. Amazing Tea. Mouth watering food. Thousands of years of history. China has it all and then some. Take a journey with me as I recount my details of this amazing trip in October of 2015. We'll start in Beijing, hike along the Great Wall and end in Yangshou floating down the Li River surrounded by limestone giants.

My time in Brazil was filled with adventure! We climbed around on a ropes course high above the ground and rafted down exciting rivers. Our culinary tour included jumping in the kitchen and creating a masterpiece with our Brazilian chefs while sampling a local libation or two. We spent time outside Rio to explore the flora and fauna as well!

We toured around Peru from Cusco to Machu Picchu to Lake Titicaca and saw the rich culture and natural beauty of the country and its people. Our Manco Multisport Peru tour included rafting, hiking, biking, boating, kayaking, and a homestay on Lake Titicaca.

Who knew that trekking the Inca Trail alone with only a guide, and an entourage of 4 porters and 1 cook could be so fabulous?
