I still can't convince myself that tourist attractions are any reason to travel.
My favorite part of traveling remains making my new life in each place. Wherever I am turns into my home and whoever I'm with turns into family. I moved to Cusco for what was supposed to be three weeks but it ended up more than doubling.
I found healthy food and a place to run, started going to free kundalini yoga classes, made lots of new friends & family, and got a job bar-tending. Beyond that, I ended up taking my first jiu jitsu/self-defense class which I loved and totally intend to continue when I get to my next semi-permanent residence. It cost me about $3 for an amazing one-hour, one-on-one lesson; it was fun and a good workout, and I learned some important things to know for girls traveling the world sola! That same night, I taught my second bachata class which is seriously the dream. Getting paid to share something you're passionate about is amazing and people said they really enjoyed the class. I love my little Cusqueñan life and it's gonna be tough to leave it!
