Peru and Bolivia - the last summer of freedom

a trip by Thomas Elliott
From: July 1st 2011
Until: September 1st 2011

After 3 years at University College London, I have just graduated with 2.1 Hons in B.Sc Human Sciences (WIN!). So I've decided to go traveling this summer (use up the last of my student loan etc) before I start in the real world in September working for a good company in what I hope will be a good job.

I have been traveling in Central America, The Balkans and last year I went to India, which was the first time I had gone solo. That worked so well though that I have decided to do the same this year! Will still be aiming to tag alog with people when they are doing the things I want to do - far more fun and waaay cheaper!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this blog, not kept one before so there may be a bit of a learning curve!

My flight to Lima, Peru is at 12 25pm on Thursday July 7th, and I get back to England around 11 am on August 25th.
