Jasons Perspective…
We both had an amazing week at PSF! I cannot describe how great a group of people are working with this organization from all corners of the globe. Ashley and I worked on a few different projects throughout the week, so I will tell you a bit about my experience.
We arrived late Sunday night [...]
Hola Amigos! We have just finished our week long volunteer experience with in Pisco, Peru (coastal city) with the organization Pisco Sin Fronteras. We were blown away by the people and the experience in general. It is amazing what a can be done with limited supplies but limitless energy. We decided that this entry needs [...]
Hola Friends. It has been quite a week since our hike to the Choqequirao ruins, but I guess I will continue where Jase left off. After getting back from the trail we had one BIG thing left on our list of Peru musts….Machu Picchu. The true mecca to all Peruvian travelers. We were up to [...]
We are nearing the portion of our trip that we will be in Hawaii and South Korea. If any friends or family are interested in possibly visiting us in either one of these places, please let us know early so we can plan. We know a few people have talked about it and we would [...]

This post will be dedicated to trying to describe what it is like here in Huancayo. To paint a more accurate picture, I will start at the beginning…
