Peru Part 1: Amazon Rainforest

Justine International

Back in December and January, I traveled to Peru for two weeks. The trip included several days in the Amazon basin, a week in the Andes mountains, and then a few days on the Pacific coast. As you can guess, it was a pretty incredible trip. It was also too great to talk about in just one post, so in this post I’ll focus on the first part: four days in the Amazon rainforest.

It’s been three years since my last Europe trip, so I figured it was time to go back, see a few new places, and visit some friends. There was a lot I wanted to do, so when I began planning my trip things got complicated quickly! Here, I’ll recap the first part: a train trip through Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest. In my next post, I’ll recap my relaxation time in Greece and friend time in the UK.

Scuba Trip: Utila and Roatan, Honduras

Back in May, I spent three weeks on Honduras’ Bay Islands. I spent the first 2 weeks becoming a PADI scuba instructor, but after the course and exams were over, I needed a break! Fortunately, I was already in paradise so all I needed to do was get underwater. In this post, I’ll recap my fun dive portion of the trip, which included 1 day of diving in Utila and 3 days of diving in Roatan.
