Hi! Welcome to my travel blog. My name is Sharon and I’m Peruvian.
I have been traveling and visiting different parts of the world since I can remember. First, as a kid with my family, and then as an adult, taking every chance I got to travel and getting to know very off-the-beaten-path locations and also going back again to the places I love.
I have visited more than 30 countries, generally spending weeks or months at a time in different locations. Actually, for the past 8 years, I have spent around 4 months out of the years traveling. Before that, I did a whole year of traveling around South East Asia.
The time I spend traveling is for relaxing, exploring, and having time for myself (and the people I care for). There are so many things that I look forward to on a trip.
For example, going on road trips in Bali, learning Vedic astrology in India, relaxing at the beaches in Thailand, finding the best locations for birdwatching wherever I am, discovering new towns, trying the best food in Italy, and visiting my partner’s family in The Netherlands. And keep exploring Peru, my own country!
So I am writing this travel blog to inspire others to explore the world. I don’t work a 9-5 job and never have. I have always been an independent worker, but I always find ways of saving up for these trips around the world. That means that, most likely, you can too.
