Watch Me Eat A Guinea Pig…(Warning!! You Tube Has Banned This Video In Several Countries)

When I first arrived in Peru I heard that Guinea Pig was a popular delicacy.. I was fascinated by this, because I had always seen Guinea pigs as pets and not something you eat for dinner. I knew right then that I had to try it and make a video out of the experience. Read more

Hiking Through The Peruvian Jungles To Machu Picchu….MUST SEE!

Hiking to Machu Picchu was an incredible adventure and by far one of the best experiences of my life. We started out on bicycles riding approximately 3 hours in heavy rain down a mountainside where we would arrive in a very small town called Santa Maria.

The next day we set out on foot for what would turn out to be a grueling 3 days of hiking through the mountainous jungles of the Andes on the Inca Trail, which would eventually lead us straight to Machu Picchu. Read more

Traveling Into The Andes of Peru From Lima

I left Lima today on my way into Cusco with the intention to hike Machu Picchu. The bus ride was a grueling 21 hours through the Andes on a one lane road most of the way.  There were some sketchy moments when I felt the bus was literally going to tip over the side of the mountain and we would all roll to our deaths. From what I hear, this actually happens on occasion.

Fortunately, I didn’t experience the cartwheel journey down the cliffs and I indeed arrived safely into Cusco. After a few stops along the way we had finally arrived in Cusco. I was starving and tired, my hands and clothes covered in sticky juice from the Mango I tried to eat at 2am without a knife or a plate and probably smelling like anything but mangos. I just wanted to get some food and go to sleep. Check out the video above to see more.

Para Gliding Over The Coast Of Lima Peru

Today was my last day in Lima and I was getting ready to take a 21 hour bus ride to Cusco in preparation to hike to Machu Picchu.

I had about five hours before my bus left and I had noticed some para gliders in the sky from my hostel window. This immediately sparked my interest and I walked down to the waterfront to see if I could join them. The price was only 150 Soles (about $50 US) so I went ahead and did it.

It was actually the first sunny day since I had been in Lima so I thought it was the perfect way to end my time there. It was an absolutely awesome experience. Check out the video above to see the whole experience in action.

How I Switched From a PC to a MAC…

I have been thinking of switching to a Mac for a long time. I have owned at least 10 PCs in my life, and sadly nearly all of them have succumbed to viruses and spy-ware.

This year I  had bought a new Compaq because my Gateway crashed. And not even four months after buying it, my Compaq was running so slow from some virus it had that I finally made the decision to make the switch once and for all.

Initially the biggest thing that was holding me back was learning the new OS (operating system) because at the time I had so many other things going on and the last thing I needed was to take on another learning curve.

What I found however, is that the Mac is much better organized and easier to use than the PCs I owned. If you commit to spend a half a day going through the basic tutorials,  you will probably have a better idea of how to operate you new Mac than you ever did on your PC. That was my experience anyways.

The best thing about having a Mac is that it has made everything I am doing with my travel blog tens times easier. All the media programs like Imovie, Itunes, Iphoto etc… make publishing and keeping track of media files so ridiculously easy. Needless to say, I will never be going back. Check out the video to see how I finalized the transition. I know it’s cheesy. but hey, it gets me traffic!

I’m writing from a little coffee bar in Miraflores district in Lima Peru.

It was extremely symbolic to how I was feeling…sort of like a grand entrance that was telling me I had made the right decision. Truly magical Read more

Last Day In Manila And I Didn’t Want To Leave…

Today was my last day in Manila on this trip. We planned on heading to beach, but ended up lounging by the pool for a better part of the morning trying to figure out if we had time. After about two hours of indecision it was obviously too late to go.. so instead we decided to head back to Taguig City to walk around the Serendra mall and Market Market to do some shopping for our evening dinner guests. See pics below… Read more
