What a GREAT trip! We had the best time :) We left Saturday morning around 7am from the house and took a taxi over to the Cruz de Sur bus station. It was about a 3.5 or 4 hour ride to Paracas from there. The bus ride was really nice. We sat on ... Read more >

I have to make this a quick one today before my internet disconnects... I haven't been able to access the internet much lately. We've had some very RANDOM and funny experiences lately involving volunteering. As you probably know, we've been trying ... 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 >

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 >

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 >

Paris, Giselle, Erik, Erik’s friend Edmundo, and I went to the beach this past weekend. The beach was called La Playa Asia. You already know how HOT it was (ha!), so I don’t really need to elaborate any more on that. While we were there ... Read more >

“What’s the weather like?” I could say “it’s hot,” but I don’t quite think those words are adequate enough to explain the kind of heat I’m talking about. Paris & I got scorched just from walking around one day. We looked like hot pink ... Read more >

I'm here with my friends Amir & Fakhria at their house in Greensboro. Apparently they're having some sort of issue with their showers...the main issue being that the water doesn't turn off. It just keeps on keepin' on. So, every so often during ... Read more >
