PERU
Country Overview:
"Arequipa, the white city of Peru and the gateway to the Colca Canyon, offers travelers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty."
Located in the heart of southern Peru, Arequipa is a city that showcases the best of what the country has to offer. From its stunning colonial architecture and rich cultural heritage, to its beautiful natural surroundings and delicious cuisine, Arequipa has something for everyone. Arequipa is a hidden gem — it's a place where you can experience the very best of Peruvian culture and history, all while enjoying the beauty of the Andes mountains and the Colca Canyon. Whether you're looking to explore the city's historic center, sample its delicious cuisine, or simply relax in its peaceful surroundings, Arequipa should definitely be on your travel list.
I lived in Arequipa, Peru from September 2011 to November 2012. I taught English, practiced Muay Thai, and got really into learning Peruvian slang. I also visited Lima, Cuzco, Colca Canyon, and Playa Mollendo.
Boise vs. UW
Although this blog is primarily dedicated to Peru and my travels, I can’t help but give a shout-out today to Boise State. To all my haters back in WA, I hope your blind faith in UW leads you to lose copious amounts of money, thus bringing shame upon you and your family.
It was only 1 year ago that I saw Boise State ‘Sacó la mierda’ of ASU from the bleachers and although not the same, I’ll be quite satisfied if I can find a live stream this afternoon.
