exploration | gluttony
We travel for all different reasons, but for me the number one reason has always been about FOOD. My tour of Latin America both central and south and all the flavors it brought with it. Reliving those local dishes and memories of breaking bread with new mates.
Once-in-a-lifetime experiences, with strangers who turn into friends, travels are all about that. And getting lost in the desert of Bolivia. Somehow I wouldn’t have changed a damn thing.
Having the opportunity to pick up and change destinations on a whim is incredibly liberating. This is exactly how I found myself in Bolivia over the holidays. Adventures were back on tall order in this first of two parts on my week long stay.
What happens when there is political unrest in the country you’re backpacking through? Do you stay or do you go? Deep in my heart I knew leaving wasn’t an option, I wanted to finish what I set out to do. So, I stayed, and had a heck of a time making it to Machu Picchu!
For all the adventurous hikers out there in the world … if you haven’t put trekking into the Andes on your shortlist then what are you really doing?!
