Winter break is quickly approaching and I'm thinking of some places of traveling to. Two years ago I went to Peru, and have to say it was one of the most amazing places I've been to. Being a native of the north east accustomed to the bitter cold, I usually opt for repose on beautiful beaches with turquoise waters, and most importantly warm temperatures, which brings me to the point of this entry, and that is how my travel philosophy has evolved since then. Prior to my discovery of this amazing country, and in the midst of my blissful ignorance, traveling was just an escape, and superficial appreciation of some of the local tourist attractions. I've always enjoyed traveling and it’s been one of my passions since I was a kid, but my time in Peru struck a spiritual chord in me and changed my perspective on travel. I'm not sure if it was the light headedness due to the elevation, or the unbelievable kindness of the people (except the one guy who tried to rob me), but my time there made me seek out something a little deeper from that trip. This December I will be taking a family trip to Panama, and I’m really tempted to head a little further south and reunite with Peru. We'll see.
