Here I made a selection of truly "off-the-beaten-local" things you can do here in Lima. Sometimes you have to let yourself hang with a local to create more amazing memories ♡
Hice una selección de experiencias "verdaderamente fuera de lo común" que puedes tener aquí en Lima. A veces tienes que permitirte salir con una persona local para crear recuerdos geniales ♡

The joy of serving and connecting for a travel professional ✨
I'll throw it back to a big event for my country that was hosting the APEC Summit and I had the honor to volunteer there at the hotel where the Malaysian delegation was in 🇲🇾
Actually, my duties weren't to promote the country 😂, I was in charge of the transportation but as it was very low I decided to join and help on the touristic desk, so then some delegates came in as they needed ideas of where to spend some free time and we started to explain and recommend 🤓 and it ended up as a cultural exchange too as they gifted us a Malaysian bill 💵
I love to interact with people from other cultures.
Have you ever gone to an international event or volunteered among foreign people? Tell me in the comments 😁

2020 is Tourism and Rural Development year 🌿
Unfortunately the pandemic is taking over the world and while some businesses and destinations are recovering, there are other countries that are not improving due to the low development, like Peru. And some rural communities are highly prepared to get visitors so their economy depends just on it.
Let's keep staying home while we daydream about destinations and help! 👍😉

Travel tip friday: walk as much as you can! 🙌
Besides it is a nice way to work out, it also allows you to discover new places that are not usually mentioned because there are other much more popular and so 'worth seeing'.
I'd say that it's also difficult to get lost that way as you go around at your own pace and you got much more awareness of where are you going rather than taking a bus.
I learned this when I was living in Manhattan as there is way too much to see and the street blocks are huge, so keep walking allowed me to SLOW DOWN and get lost between the skyscrapers, the street food-carts and something curious that I can find there too. 🏙
And Lima is not the exception, it is different and same at the same time as NYC, you walk and get lost in the colonialism of the streets, food carts and some curiosities that will surprise you in the good way!
You can read more about this tip in my recent blog post (link in bio) 👆
And, "always choose to walk, even in your own city" 😉

Sharing experiences is good, better if they are quite crazy 😜, anyways, there's a lesson for every experience we live. Enjoy this week's blog post! ✈

Can you believe this is a tourist-free zone... yet? 😮
This is another Inca center, but located far away from Cusco -as most of us know. This is at the center of Peru!

Probably it doesn't get that much visits because there's still poor awareness, and there are no hotels very close to the archeological center. Yeah, it lacks some things, but, hey
THIS CAN BE THE MACHU PICCHU LIFE SAVER!
Did you hear me? Yes!! 🎉
The beginning of a more balanced tourism: two Inca sites ⭐

It looks pretty, doesn't it?

Let's travel and search for Transformative Experiences ✈🙌🏻

Let's take real advantage of the action of traveling, itself. It's the best chance to connect while living in a different culture than yours.
You meet people, some of them end up being your lifelong friends, share differences and plus you might end up learning something valuable, whether it's a new skill, words or the perspective of life.

That's it. That's the essence of traveling 💚

Not talking about technology here, but this is something VERY important to learn in our daily lives and to travel too 🙌🏻

Seeing "tourism as a numerical goal" doesn't work anymore, with more and more accesibility for people to travel it's necessary to change the phrase to "TOURISM AS MEANS" 👭💚👬❤️👫

Which means that we always have to check in with locals and ask them about the sentiment towards tourism to see if this activity is growing in a positive or negative way.

Now, some R E A L T A L K : The perfect time is upon you. ✈😉
If you've rode my last story post you might've seen it "wait for the dry season to able to trek.."
So, in other words, they're seeing Machu Picchu, Cusco as everything
Now, we have three different regions, and between them all there are 24 provinces that have different weathers and conditions, places to stay.
For example, to visit the Amazon it can be all year as the weather is warm always 💚, and in the South Andes, even though the humid/cold season is from November to April you can still enjoy properly.
Again, with a great planning 😚

Today is K U S I K U Y Friday! (and this fashionable llama knows it).
Let's bring happy travel memories today 🙌🏻

Kusikuy is a quechua word that means happiness and joy, and also the name of my business! Because travel was made to be the happiest thing ever ❤️✈️

There are countries that depend on tourism a lot, most of them having experienced overtourism signs, and sometimes people still want to go because they're just wonderful and beautiful and there's so much to do.

So, here's an advice:
Go, but please, before planning the trip, make sure you are dedicating W E E K S to it. 🙏🏻
Why? Because you'll get to see all of those bucket list places and experiences but without overcrowding public spaces for the inhabitants, and you'll get to explore hidden gems too! 🙌🏻

At the end, youre going to see that it is a WIN-WIN. That's why it is so important to plan a BALANCED TRIP ✈️

Be emphatic, avoid

Little producers are very important actors within the travel industry. They're the best example of truly organic, healthy out-of-chemical foods.🌾
Here is a reason why you should eat at the farmers market in rural destinations:

First of all, fruits and veggies are fresh, so especially when it's about having breakfast you are going to find the most proteic juices, some quinoa, bread with andean cheese (so good 😋) and all at an affordable price.

Let's connect and help locals 💚

I know you want to travel,
I know you're excited for borders to open, and airlines to announce they are ready and following safety protocols.
I know you want to live diverse and beautiful memories here, but we're not done yet... People is trying to work anyways to substain their lives and their kids, and unfortunately this is increasing the number of cases...
I know we're in this together, that's why I beg you to wait a bit more.
I know it's hard, and sad that we all have had to pospone our plans, but I promise you it IS worth it.
Everything that you want to see will still be there.
And we want to have you here! But first things first.
I care about you.

Let's protect each other, and in 2021, safely ♥
