Twin Adventure

The bus from Lima to the Chilean border would have been 22 hours long if I wasn’t kicked off. On the side of the road, waiting for the other bus that they said would come soon, I can’t say that I was enjoying the pleasurable traveling experience that I had been promised. What happened is [...]

Austin and I have just met back up and are currently back to exploring the world. Before we get to that though, I want to update you all on the month and a half gap that I have left in the Peruvian narration… Really, there is no way that I could describe all the things [...]

Daniel’s Stint in the Peruvian Andies… During the long semester in Peru I did manage to leave the congested city two more times. The first of these two adventures took me to the city of Huaraz in the Peruvian Andes, only 8 hours out of Lima, and the most beautiful place I have so far [...]

I know that it’s been forever since I’ve updated the website, but I’ve been really, really busy.  So here’s the brief summary of everything that happened. Last Friday I finished all of my classes, took my exams, and practiced for the last time with my soccer team.  The weekend was filled with farewell parties, parting [...]

Mark, Paulo, and I decided that since we were already in the South, we might as well travel a little longer… so we journeyed to the beautiful isla de Chiloe.  After leaving the big group we took yet another bus and a wonderful ferry to get to the Island.  Crossing the ocean after being in [...]

Well, Alex and I were able to convince 10 other foreign exchange students to accompany us on yet another journey South.  This time we were lucky enough to visit Puerto Varas y Bariloche.  Some highlights of this trip: a bike ride of 36 kilometers, 2.2 pounds of meat, chocolate sampling, and a cheap lake cruise.  Tuesday [...]

Apparently I left Mexico with a few more free souvenirs that I wanted. Well, at least the Peruvian doctors want to blame it on Mexico because there is no possible way that I could have picked it up in their country. I am not so sure that they are right, judging from the fact that [...]

 Aunque, he escrito las últimas cincuenta páginas o más en mi idioma nativo, ahora para el beneficio de todos mis nuevos amigos, es tiempo escribir un poco de mi aventura en español.  Entonces, gracias a todos de mis amigos hispano hablantes quienes han leído mucho en inglés, y ahora es su turno.  Después de nuestra [...]

The best part of this little furry guy is his thigh meat. Ummm… tastes just like chicken. So, in summary I am a terrible person – we killed and ate this little sucker along with two of his friends. And their little paws continued to clutch at the rice and potatoes until long after they [...]

After the waterfall, the choffer drove us to the other side of the park and dropped us off about 10 miles from the campsite.  According to our agreement with the touring agency, he was contracted to drop us off about 4 miles away; however things never go as planned, and since it was already 5:00, [...]
