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.

One of the local English institutes were giving these out in preparation for Peru’s Independence Day this Saturday. Although not Peruvian, I couldn’t be more excited. 

Shoutout today goes to Kayla “THE SL” Grantham! Because as she put it, “I constantly stalk you on your blog like a stage 5 clinger, it’s no big deal."  Although due to a certain lack in demographics here in Peru, I’m sure you would still love it. I hope you’re still making fun of people in Cheneytown and talking just as much shit about Cheney as I did. I miss you and you better believe that as soon as I return to the States, it’ll be time for a little DD (Because we’re classy like that).
