I need to figure out if sleeplessness is a symptom of altitude sickness. I slept for a good 3-4 hours and I wasn’t coughing as much but I still kept waking up every few hours for some reason. I woke up at 3 am, 3:30 am, and 4 am. At that point I just decided […]

We tried to take so many alpaca selfies and failed so many times… here are the hilarious results:
So when I blog when I travel–if I have time during the day or what not I outline what we did and then go back at night to write about what we did over the previous day depending on timing and availability of time. Well, I never got back to this one and the last […]

Before we do that–our breakfast view: Best travel agent ever! Seriously. Amazing. And we got to stay in Machu Picchu Pueblo so no […]

I mean I have been super sick/coughing/congested but I’ve also been waking up every hour on the hour. Not […]
Our bus to Machu Picchu was stopped by the most adorable protesters ever. It was phenomenal and couldn’t have been more fantastic! Take a look: I have been to a lot of protests in my day and this was by far the cutest.
Breakfast in paradise: seriously, I have no idea how we lucked into this place but Jesus it’s fucking amazing! Another selfie with our view: After breakfast we got a ride to the train and experienced the most amazing train ride ever! Seriously, it was the cleanest train station and most luxurious train ride I have […]
