Arequipa
I think Arequipa is my favorite city so far on my Peruvian adventure. It’s a low-key city with gorgeous colonial architecture, amazing restaurants, lots of sights to see and all without the annoying hassle of people trying to sell you stuff every time you take a step. Glorious. We really only had a couple nights in Arequipa b…
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

Exactly one month from now (July 23) I will be doing just this- leaving Colorado, my safe harbor, and beginning my semester abroad in Peru with SIT. This will be, by far, the longest amount of time I have spent outside of the States and although I will miss my family and friends (and, extremely unfortunately, Thanksgiving... :) ) I am looking forward to the experience! I can't wait to get out of my comfort zone, try new things and really experience a different culture first-hand and to a greater degree than I ever have before.
This is a log of my adventures, big and small. From cultural quirks that catch me off-guard, as I know they will, to interesting foods to experiencing the splendor of Machu Picchu.
Life is an adventure!
Explore. Dream. Discover. :)

El Baratillo
Rosario had told me about a sort of “grey market” that her homestay father had taken her to a couple weeks back. The market is only open on Saturdays and is where things that…
A Run of Bad Luck
The rest of my week has just been one big run of bad luck (…I guess that blessing didn’t work out as they’d planned?). My camera, of course, was a huge bummer. I had …
