Peru: Alive, Happy & At Home

“Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.” – Jennifer Lee

My reentry into South America has been well received. I feel alive, I feel happy, and I feel like I could live here. I know some of you won’t like reading the latter, but the barrio that our hostel is located in is perfect. Barranco is one of Lima’s districts and is a bohemian area.

Packing for my trip to South America has been fun and challenging. While I’m a minimalist at heart, there are just certain things you have to have on a stranded island. Granted, I’m not going to a stranded island, but if I were, those things would be in my “personal item" Travelon bag.

South America: Jumpstarting My Life

“The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.” - C. JoyBell C.

One week of time stands between me and seeing where my dreams take me. Lauren, one of my best friends, and I will be traveling through Peru and Bolivia; the main sites being the Winter Solstice Festival and Machu Picchu in Peru and the Salt Flats in Bolivia.

Cuba: Last Day

Havana, ooh na-na...

Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na...

Ending our travels with a Classic American Car ride to the airport. Good times.

We tried to make the most of our last full day in Cuba yesterday. While we did get a chance to visit the Havana beach area earlier in the day, we were not able to watch baseball tonight. I’ve learned a lot these last few weeks, felt safe the entire time (except with one maniac taxi driver), and definitely recommend others making the trip. Innovation and optimism are at the heart of the Cuban people.
