After a very long first day in Cusco sleeping in was exactly what was needed and sleeping in is what we did. Kalindra and I had a very leisurely morning around the hostel and ventured out to book our trip to Machu Picchu, visit some Shamans and have a nice lunch. Needless to say, that…

Cusco…Day 1
After reading about the epic evening in Lima we had, you can imagine how I felt when my alarm went off at 6:45am to catch the taxi to go back to the airport for the flight to Cusco. A seamless taxi ride and very easy check in with Peruvian Airlines, and Kalindra and I were…
Lima shows her true colors
I decided to go to Peru because a Travelzoo offer made it super cheap! And now, here I am. The day started off with a flight at 2:35am where Kalindra and I thought we would have our own rows. The plane was pretty empty so this was a large possibility. Instead, I end up with…
Reason number 281 why I love Southwest
I love the idea of having a plan and sticking to it, but when it comes to travel that does not always happen. I received a text from Southwest notifying me that my 8:15pm flight was delayed until 9:00pm. I was a little sad but there is nothing you can do about it and I…
Planning a trip to Peru for a few days
I am going to Peru with a friend in September since I found airfare for $245 roundtrip through a special deal on Travelzoo and we are super excited! Of course we are going to Machu Picchu and we are thinking we are going to Arequipa as well. I plan on traveling to Peru again in 2014…
Following events and concerts around the world
In my quest to travel the world for a year I thought a great way to really see things would be to follow concerts and major events to certain cities. 2014 has the World Cup in Brazil and the Winter Olympics in Russia. These are major events I want to go to and I will…

Points are a great way to travel
I am pretty loyal to Southwest for domestic travel for flights under 4 hours. Luckily, a lot of my small weekend trips take me a short distance and so Southwest is my go to airline. They have no change fees. No cancellation fees. And they make booking with points super duper easy. I just booked…
Mission accomplished: A Vegas recap
I went to Vegas to get a tan and did not step foot in a single club. Mission accomplished! I spent 5 beautiful days in Vegas with good friends and managed to avoid the clubs and the “scene” that is so much of Vegas. Monday, July 2, 2012: I woke up a little early and decided…
Las Vegas for a tan
There are many reasons to go to Vegas. There are the shows, the pools, the food, the gambling and of course the clubs. I’ve been to Las Vegas a few times and every time I have to find some crazy little dress with sky high heels and pretend I’m comfortable. I hate waiting in line…
