I'm a passionate traveller and very content when exploring different places. I love to experience new cultures, as well as getting the opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world.

South America! So thrilled that you made it down here though I also loved your Belgium blogs. Lima--what a great introduction--you saw amazing sites, met great people and swam with sea lions. I see that this was back in May when I was still in Arequipa, Peru. I'm now in Bolivia, but I have the sad feeling you may be home by now. If not, let's meet up! I'll be here until December when they'll kick me out. I'm so glad you are realizing your dream, traveler!

South America
Thank you! I really couldn't believe I finally made it to South America, it's been a dream for a long time. I am well behind on the blogs and afraid I came back home around middle of June otherwise I would have loved to have met. Bolivia sounds fun, will keep an eye out for your blogs :)
