After saying goodbye to our beloved Cusco we pulled in to Arequipa. It is a beautiful city that reminded me a lot of Kings Landing in Game of Thrones. The city is called the White City because it’s made of white sandstone. It was really early when we arrived in our hostel – our 3rd and […]

Karmen was the a crazy and lovely host. She reminded me of my mum which made me automatically like her. […]

Read MoreThe border crossing from Salta towards the Atacama Desert was in the middle of a desert surrounded by big rocky mountains and here is where I had my first taste of altitude sickness. We got off the bus at 7am and we were at 4000m above sea level. I got off the bus needing fresh air […]
