Machu Picchu – expectations, realities and surprises
Visiting Machu Picchu was something I have dreamed about for a long time. It was absolutely wonderful. Some of the realities were not what I expected. And some of the surprises exceeded my expectations. Travel is like that sometimes… unexpected and wonderful.
Kenya – Elephants, Old Friends & Zebra Traffic Jams
10 days in Nairobi, Kenya. Visiting elephant rescue centers, the Nairobi National Park, giraffe centers and a few gorgeous hikes. Most importantly time with a childhood friend and lots of education about animals and conservation efforts. Highly recommend a visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and The Giraffe Center.
Loving & leaving Cusco – the good, the bad, the unusual
I loved living in Cusco, Peru for 3 months. Discovering all of the local spots and going on big ‘tourist’ adventures – the best of both worlds. Well-dressed dogs, crowded buses, amazing street food and unusual business practices – I enjoyed it all.
Kenya via London- giraffes, monkeys and picnics
Visiting Nairobi, Kenya and a childhood friend. An unexpected stop in London, and then giraffes, hikes, the beautiful Lake Naivasha and monkeys stealing mangos.
Moray, Pisac and ATVs – the joy is in the journey
Finding joy in the journey to Moray, trying new things, meeting new friends in Pisac and trying so many types of new food, when Parker came to visit me in Peru.
Peru with Parker – drenched, confused & delighted
Exploring Peru with Parker was magical. The Temple of the Moon and Lake Titicaca and discovering that the magic happens when things go wrong and you simply go with the flow. Also remember that the view is always worth the climb!
Sacred Valley – always finding something wondrous
A few days in the Sacred Valley, exploring with a local guide and taking time to really learn the history and meet local people. The ruins at Ollantaytambo and Moray are spectacular, and travelling by scooter was the most fun.
Cusco – I’m on top of the world
A day in Pisac and travelling like a local. The Pisac Archaeological Ruins are worth a visit – incredible energy and breath-taking views.
Guatemala – Where I discovered I was stronger than I thought
Guatemala and Volcan de Acatenango – climbed my first volcano and learned some lessons along the way and had the most unbelievable night and saw the most beautiful sunrise.
