Good morning friends ❤️ I think it's time to write my first blog entry. I am in Peru (Lima) now for 1 month. I guess some of you are wondering why the hell I stayed in Lima for such a long time, when there are way more beautiful places to be in Peru. Some of you already know it, but for those who don't, I will explain it. When I was 16, I went to Peru as an exchange student for 11 months. I lived with the most amazing host family in Comas (a district of Lima). I haven't seen them since I left. For that reason, I stayed in Lima for one month, to be with them and my Peruvian friends. This month was amazing! I went traveling with my family, I ate nice Peruvian meals, I went out dancing with my friends, and I went to the nice Peruvian markets ('mercados').

Lomo Saltado is a typical Peruvian dish and really delicious

Last Monday one of my best friends (Mia) from Germany came to Peru as well, to travel together. Now, I am really excited to finally start the real Backpacker lifestyle. Our first stop will be Pucallpa, a city in the Peruvian jungle. There, we will start our Amazonas trip.
