hello hello hello hello.
Greetings from this cool little beach town Mancora, in Northern Peru. Lucky i have to meet up with a buddy tomorrow in Ecuador or i may have called this place home for a while. Nice little beach break, cool locals good cheap food, general postive vibes, so if anyone knows of a place like Mancora in Central America throw the name my way and i am there!
So i have had a few week in Brazil visiting Greg; which was super good; we went camping to these two amazing isolated spots great weather good time to hang out before he leaves to London; tomorrow!
So 6 people on my flight back to Lima from Rio, i made my self comfy and slept across a row of chairs for the entire 5 hour flight. Getting off the plane i get chatting to this guy, and blah blah going through customs i find out he is a mate drinker with 2kgs of yerba on him, and also that he is a para glider, explains the massive bags. anyway
¨wanna share a cab to Miraflores ( a funky area of Lima backpacker centro) ¨he says, no thanks i am going straight to the bus station i have a plan ( was my new mission to make some plans and try and stick to them... 4 hrs later..) my bus is at 3pm, the time is now 130 pm, so i am looking good to stick to my itinerary, them he comes out with...
¨well if you come with me i´ll take you flying...¨ so i missed my bus and spent the afternoon gliding over the coast of Lima, when then had then best seafood lunch for like 3 dollars and chatted the afternoon away.. inspiring this guy had some stories, he was about mid 40s live half yr in Brazil small beach near Floripa then 6 months in Cuzco Peru, gliding with tourists, so if anyone is heading to Cuzco let me know fly over machu picchu stuff walking or taking the freezing cold train!
ok so now all inspired about meeting someone else who is living life exactly how they want, being around people that are not bound by the restrictions of western or more so American money making culture is refreshing and giving a good direction about the way you can live life.
so after a bit of bus hopping in rural peruivan towns and 18hrs later i made it to the beach so still in line with the ´plan´ man i hate that word right now.
take care and get inspired
why make plans when the best things happen spontaneously???
