'a land of native history, mountains, food & the largest desert in south america' i came to peru in 2015 to visit the countries most famous site, machu picchu. even though i only had a few weeks in the country at the time i totally fell in love with it, i vowed to come back. that time arrived this year. i decided after flying into lima that i would do the south coast then on to arequipa, puno then ending in on the border of bolivia. lima the capital of peru is vast & for trav

earlier this year i arrived in wonderful costa rica from Guatemala on a journey that took me through the whole of north & central america. i wanted to write a more in-depth travel guide with the top things in my opinion to do in costa rica from the tropical beaches in the west to hidden machu picchu esque sites close to the capital that have been hidden from tourists for years. i'll take you back to the start when i first arrived in costa rica on a flight from guatemala. arr

i arrived into Medellin (the eternal spring city) with some trepidation as this was once the most dangerous city in the world in the 80'

San Jose seems just like most other industrial cities in Central America. I think the difference is the surrounding mountains. You can defiantly feel as I read that they have a thriving middle class that is lacked in the surrounding countries. The main walking street reminds me of that in the usa as there seems to be brands everywhere. but you also have the hustle of street sellers that are technically no allowed to be there but they constantly move when the police arrive it

while visiting family in ohio i had an opportunity to visit pittsburg. its a great city to visit for the weekend with a young university vibe. I walked around the city but its recommend to take public transport as like most american cities its not set up for pedestrians. #city #americas
