live in Perù

I lived in Cusco for about two months for a study abroad trip, if that counts. I loved the people, and there were llamas everywhere! I lived with my host family near the San Blas art district, and the shops and streets were so beautiful.

I do admit that I was stuck in the touristy areas, which let me down a little bit. I’m more of a traveler, not a tourist, but it just wasn’t safe for me to walk around by myself outside the tourist areas. Plus, I had to stay under the supervision of our study group leader.

Thanks to my host family, I did get to see a little bit of the more indigenous Peru. I went to a local market, somehow learned some Quechua from an old woman, and I visited and volunteered in the surrounding towns, which have almost no tourists.

And of course I visited Machu Picchu. It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in my life.

I’ve ticked this off as done because I am now living here!

Ok so I’ve been in the UK 3.5 years now. Enough already. Found a good job in Lima, for a multinational company. Am starting on 1st of May (holiday hahaha). Very excited :-)

I’m currently exploring job opportunities… Might be onto something. Don’t wanna say too much. But I’m so excited I can’t sleep at night. Un beso.

...To leave in October. Yes in 9 months. Would very much like to leave sooner though. I’ve applied for a job over there, so if that turns out positive, we might be going very soon. Fingers crossed!!

I was raised in Peru. A beautiful country full of fun things and culture. However…I wouldn’t reconmmend living there now since the economy is totally crashing. x_X The new president isn’t gonna make things better either…

I just wanna go back to visit all of my fam and friends. ^^

I first have to finish my 2 year contract here, still 1 year 5 months to go. I had contacted one Peru branch of a large multinational company before I got this job and they liked me so I can contact them in a year and a half. But it would be more convenent if my present company transferred me for a year or two.
