Today I’m heading back, so it’s a good time to sum up my time in Peru  It was a magnificient experience and I hope to return one day!

Awesome things I did:

• Paragliding in Lima
• Going from Lima to Huancayo (330 km), a 12-hour ride on the second highest train in the world and walking around at 4800 meters at the Galera station
• Couchsurfing for my first time (it was a really incredible experience!)
• Eating more fish than in my complete life before
• Dramatically improving my Spanish
• Hiking at up to 5100 meters in Huaraz
• Exploring a part of the Amazon rainforest
• Taking 8 long-distance buses and spending almost 100 hours on them (the longest ride was Lima->Cuzco, which took about 22 hours)
• Getting to know another culture and too many awesome people to count

I could definitely write a lot more, but that’ll be it for now.
