Adventure in Peru

Posted on May 24, 2014 by Jessica Carpenter — 3 Comments ↓

My mom and I traveled together for the first time since I was a kid to the beautiful South American country of Peru. I’d been talking about going for over a …

Time sure flies! It’s been over a week since I’ve posted or shown my face on here. I’m realizing I’m just such a homebody and introvert, it’s hard to have the desire to share my boring, everyday routine with you guys. One of these days I’ll do better. Anyways, I have two weeks off starting at the end of January for my birthday and I still haven’t planned a trip. @chris_cottrell says we need to save money...we are building a house and will need to furnish it. Indeed, he is correct. But I have some air miles that are screaming to be used and I’m in need of some sand and blue water. Help me manipulate him into saying yes! .

Kissing 2019 goodbye and welcoming 2020! 2019 was a great year. Despite feeling a bit in limbo with our house being built and visiting far fewer countries than usual, I feel like I genuinely found some form of balance. It kind of took me until like, November, but I feel super fulfilled so I plan to carry that momentum into 2020. Things that enriched my life in 2019: audiobooks, the Mealime app which has totally eliminated a lot of food prep stress and made going (mostly) vegetarian easier, taking steps towards reducing and eliminating single-use plastic in my life, working less on my blog but continuing to increase my revenue, practicing Spanish each day (even just for a few minutes), and meditating first thing in the morning. Sometimes it’s not the big things that make us feel whole, it’s the little pieces of the puzzle that help bring it all together. Love you all! Thanks for being here!

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! Honestly mine was lackluster, and it’s a bit depressing now that it’s over, but oh well. We had no snow, we haven’t moved into our new house yet, and I was too cheap to rent Home Alone so we didn’t watch Christmas movies 😂 But I still love the season and Christmas music hasn’t stopped around my house. Here’s a little throwback to my pre-Christmas Puerto Rico adventures. 📷 @erc_vaqueras .

Suspended across this existential space between fall and winter, oscillating between dreary rain and exhilarating snow, I’m hunkering down until the weather inspires me more.

Why is it that like 90% of graffiti is indiscernible? Do you ever wonder about the history of graffiti in a place? Who did it and what does it mean? I always do.

Photo cred 📷: the cop sitting at the desk at city hall across the street. I asked him, “This is very unusual but I was wondering if you could possibly take my picture since I’m traveling alone.” He was so sweet and happy to take a few shots for me. He did pretty good too, don’t you think?

Possibly one of the most magical experiences I’ve had traveling - I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face riding at golden hour with @erc_vaqueras a couple nights ago. Thanks Elizabeth for such an awesome time and photo. .

Found myself a lovely beach and spent most of the day there listening to an audiobook, dipping in the clear warm water, and trying to decide if I love being alone in a place like this or not. The jury is still out.

One of my favorites sites in Sinta, Portugal is the Monserrate Palace. Refreshingly, there were zero crowds, the grounds are lovely, and the interior is unique. It gets overshadowed by Pena Palace, and since so many people only visit Sintra for a day, they often don’t have time to visit this spot. Sintra has so many unique sites, it really deserves more than a day trip.
