The place I call Home

As mentioned in one of the past blogs Ronny and I were on a TV show called Haciendo Peru acting as tourists haha not a hard thing to do. We had a great time and enjoyed a totally new experience behind the camera. While having a fun time we also got to view how Experiencial Tourism operates. Anyways, here are the links to view the show online:

A sad thing to think about is the fact that I only have 2.5 months left here in this beautiful country. Now, I am thinking about all that I want to finish on our projects before leaving and all the locations I want to see in the country. It is amazing how fast a 6 month contract can fly. When talking to my good friend Shazia about her internship last year she told me the beginning and end of the 6 month period flies. The middle two months feel a little bit slow. I wish I felt that way!

In the past couple months we have been very busy working all the time on our projects. On  down time I go to the gym, visit friends and now practice boxing and jujitsu with a few guys from Urubamba. Every Wednesday there are salsa lessons, followed by volunteer night out with all the NGOs in the whole town. Weekends I either stay here and relax or go to a more upbeat location named Cuzco.

Before leaving I will be going to Chile, Huacachina, Lima, and Mancora. Therefore, there next up coming weekends will be great. When going to Chile, Ronny and I will be visiting Amanada and Drew in Arequipa. From there, I believe they will be coming with us to the beach of Arica, Chile. I am looking forward to this upcoming trip.

Ronny and I are also prepping to be the project coordinators for a group coming to NeVo in December. There is a group of 18 coming from the University of Oregon, With this group we will be staying in the town of Pisac making dry ecological bathrooms for a community above Pisac called Maska. With these bathrooms they will be able to use their waste and turn it into composte for fields.
