Six and a half weeks in Peru, countless unexpected experiences, new friendships and opportunities I never saw coming. From watching Andean condors in Colca Canyon and sandboarding in Huacachina to volunteering in Paracas, discovering Pisco through Couchsurfing and getting my first surfing lesson for free, this part of my journey was full of surprises. But travelling on a budget isn't always as easy as it looks, and I'm also sharing the challenges behind the adventures.
