Michelle
left. She stayed with me and the
hombres suelos for about 2 weeks.
We hared a bed, we shared our sicknesses (we were known as the pitri
dish) and we shared all of our roller coaster of emotions. But, like all good things, new ... Read more >

I wanted to hit on food here for a minute. For the past year to year and a half or so I've kind of been weaning myself off meat. I never intended to be a vegetarian, and even in the past when I was around friends who were vegetarians, it's not like ... Read more >

There's an interesting organization I stumbled upon during my quest for places to volunteer with. It's called SA (South American) Explorers. They have it in a couple different countries in South America and it has 3 different club houses in Peru, one ... Read more >

Paris and I are taking Spanish classes everyday at a local language school here in our neighborhood. It's a very small school that isn't really geared toward tourists. Most of the students live here locally and study Portuguese, French, Italian, Russian, ... Read more >

Hector
picked me up at 3 in the morning and we headed over to his house where his
mother, father and 3 of his mothers’ students waited for a mini van to come
pick us up. I was headed to the

Paris & I have been trying to keep ourselves occupied by looking for places to volunteer here. Since we decided not to come here using a big volunteer organization to plan everything for us (it's super expensive to do it that way!), we are having ... Read more >
