Peru

Over the weekend, the buzz over Eat, Pray, Love exploded all over the travel world. Anticipation for the movie based on the true life story of solo female traveler Liz Gilbert has led to one big conversation over the now released film. For now, it seems as if you either love it or you hate it. Personally, the story resonates moments in my life that puts a smile on my face. Whether you’re a world traveler or astonished by this newfound idea, the film will get to you in one way or another.

Being my first backpacking experience; My South American Journey of 2010 was anticipated to be filled with great memories. Besides looking forward to Argentine steak, Bolivian salt flats and the glory of Machu Picchu in Peru; there would be more surprises along the way. When you meet other backpackers on the off beaten path; often do you get great recommendations about places you’ve never heard of. Suddenly, you find yourself extending your trip and spending an extra month in Peru.
