17 Februari 2015 | Peru, Lima

It has been 6 weeks since I began my adventure in South America. Seeking new customs, new people, new places and knew knowledge, I didn’t plan anything in advance and didn’t google a place I was going to. Arriving in Peru I basically knew one thing about the country: Paddington bear is originally from it’s capital.

And so began my trip in a country where literally every landscape can be found. I’ve crossed rivers, climbed mountains, saw snow, tackled the dessert in a sandbuggy, seen cities, driven by the sea and slept in a rainforest-hut. In Peru I felt as if everything was possible. Going from the most touristic attractions to spending a day without seeing a single foreigner and everything in between. The great thing about not knowing anything in advance is that everything you see is a surprise. Every streetcorner has little stands selling weird little eggs, selling the fruit of a cactus or selling tea from coca-leaves. Tequila is kept with huge snakes inside the bottle and almost every dish contai ns corn. And the people are really friendly. Everyone is willing to help this curious girl who doesn’t really speaks Spanish, but tries very hard.

My highlight in Peru was my trip to the Machu Pichu. The Machu Pichu itself was breathtaking and made me realize once again how lucky I am and how beautiful life can be. Covered in mist it had something magical. But the whole four-day trip going there made it an experience I’ll remember for a long time. Mountainbiking off the hill, climbing way too steep steps, going in shivery cable cars and ziplining upside down from one mountain to the other, truly amazing! And to end the day in style, drinking a pisco at the plaza and philosophizing about life with people travelling for months or even years.

In two weeks I managed to feel like a real traveler and to understand why so many people love it. But unfortunately my no-planning lifestyle got roughly interrupted by the fact that University in Santiago was about to start..
