CUSCO!!! We’re coming back! Machu Picchu! We’re coming for ya! When we visited Cusco the first time, Machu Picchu was closed to visitors due to the strike following an accident and damage to the sun dial. Completely understanding and respecting the values of those striking, we knew in our hearts we would be returning to…
If you’re looking for artsy and laidback vibes in Peru, the Barranco District has both. On our last day in Peru, we decided to find the bohemian arts district of Lima. What first drew our interest to the Barranco district was all the talk about the street art. What’s nice is there is much more…
It’s almost guaranteed the first thing we do when we wake up in a new country is follow our senses to the first sight of food and drinks. Lima, Peru was no different. As soon as we woke up to start our first full day in Miraflores, Peru, we stepped out to the streets and…
As we prepare our minds for our upcoming trip to Europe, we thought it’d be nice to share some of our essential carry on travel items! Whether you’re going on a long international flight or somewhere domestic, we’ve learned to travel with a few very important items. If we think/learn of anything else, updates will be…
While in Arequipa, Peru, we decided to stay at the Flying Dog hostel. This hostel was in the most perfect location! It was just a couple blocks from the main square, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. The hostel is fairly quiet but they do have a bar with good vibes. The 24hr staff were really friendly and…
We woke up around 3:30am and were ready for our day trip tour to take off at 4:00am. Once we were on our way, we tried to squeeze in a few more hours of sleep while we ventured out. The bumpy ride made that nearly impossible but that no complaints were made since the sunrise was something…
We’ve traveled to many cities and gave just about every type of lodging a shot. We’ve had both great and questionable experiences in hotels and Airbnbs, but what has been the most consistent in experience has been hostels! Throughout our stay in Peru, we bunked it with our friends Icaella (Icaro and Rafaella!). Being that we live in different…
Cusco ♥ Cusco is a pretty special place to visit. Today, it’s considered the Historical Capital of Peru. As soon as you step foot in the streets, you feel this warm, comfortable, familiar feeling like you’re finally coming home after a long vacation away. The only thing was, this was our first time ever visiting Cusco. What was…
Barbecue… BBQ… When you compare American barbecue and Brazilian barbecue, you start to realize that they’re completely different things. Both are delicious in their own ways, but if we had to choose, Brazil would take gold. American barbecue is typically a tasty southern flavor or as simple as a hotdog and hamburger party but in…
After arriving in Brasil, our dear friend took us out to one of the most delicious restaurants of Recife. Casa de Banhos is located in the Port of Recife and offers great views of the harbor and Recife Antigo (Old Recife). If you life beer and seafood, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. Make sure you order…
