Good evening (here is 2am, i didn't know where to start, bad way right?) anyway, i'm a 21 years old ordinary guy who lives in italy, other than this i'm a bartender and when i have money to do it i'm stuying to become an airline pilot (almost finished, good luck to me!).
This idea of doing this month backpacking i peru has been rolling in my mind for months, and is still developing day by day.
The basic concept is a low budget trip where i will travel peru mostly by foot and with the help of the locals, a thing i learned from being a bartender for the last three years of my life is how to behave and comprehend people, one of the aims of this trip is understand how different is the occidental whay of thinking, of interacting whith strangers from the people of different parts of peru.
I will try to sleep in local's houses and travel with them, i plan to write a diary that i will upload whenever im able to acces internet, i'll try to reach all the best turistic places and in parallel all the best places for locals and i'll try to make a comparison between the two with a description and a photo diary that i 'll also upload.
I'll try to listen to locals and make them tell me their stories so i can write them down to share them with you. This hopefully will make me understand the differences between our style of lives and try to adapt to it.
The money will help me buying the equipement necessary fot this trip and to help me with the food and travel expanses, all the money i will not spend will be donated to (locals that i think deserve it, charity companies for peru, other travellers trips)
