Some call Peru “the catalog of the world,” and for good reason — the country boasts a little bit of everything.
I started this trip with some knowledge of that diversity, but I was still in awe of what I found. From deserts to thick rainforest canopies, Peru really does have it all. It’s a downright magical place.
I think I’ll always have a special place in my heart for this country. Not only is it the place where I leapt out of my old life and into my new career as round-the-world adventurer, but it’s also where I spent my honeymoon.
Together, The Husband and I tackled the Inca Trail, and he cheered me on when things got rough.
Together we explored the Amazon and saw things we never could have imagined. He also nursed all my bug bites with “dragon’s blood” from a shaman, including a few welts from a spider who was determined to know me intimately.
And together, we just spent a lot of time enjoying each other.
I know there’s value in solo travel and in traveling with your friends — both of which I’ll get to know better as this trip progresses.
But there was something particularly special about starting this journey with my new husband — and learning how love can grow even bigger in places we never expected.
