Month 1 Travel Report!

It's wierd, I don't quite know how it happened but somehow we have already been on the road for exactly 1 month! I can remember back to our first week in Peru when we kept looking around to each other and saying with excitement "I can't believe its only been 1 week - we have so much time left!" 


It took us a while to find our travelling groove and we fumbled a bit a first. Things like how best to lock up our things, keep you stuff organized when you are packing and unpacking literally daily, how to quickly learn how to navigate a city, to know how early to be for the bus were foreign to us, but somehow along the way we have found our system. We can now have those bags organized, zipped and slung on our backs in seconds flat! 


So far this trip has lived up to everything I imagined when I first started to dream up this trip way back in high school. We have met some incredible people, learned things about cultures that you would never read in a book and marveled at scenery like you have never seen... plus not having to work everyday helps!  It's only been 1 month so its hard to say what the future will hold but I can only imagine that this is only the tip of the iceburg of this crazy adventure.
