Care your travel

Some weeks ago I looked into a post about  the difference between a travel advisor and a travel agent  on Forbes Magazine. And so far, since I decided to develop myself in becoming a Travel Advisor to create trips within Peru and then around the world, I've seen that the term and the number of people related to it are not so famous and high. Instead there are thousands of travel agents around the world, though. And the truth is that the pictures you see online when you search for the terms "travel advisor" or "travel agent" are the same, so it means that the difference is not that big, but it is actually significant. So, after reading posts and watching videos about the profession, I came with my own perceptions and conclusions about the difference -please note that I'll be highlighting more the role of the travel advisor / also called consultant  as it is my profession and (for me) it is more dedicated-, Oh, and by the way, this is about my experience as be

Ahhh, español...  One of the most popular languages in the world -having 460 million native speakers - just right after mandarin chinese, which makes it really important.. But it's just so confusing some times! ugh! ... Yeah, I got you. I mean, I totally understand you. Even if I've been speaking spanish my whole life, I seriously get confused many times with the conjugations of the verbs: yo quiero, tu quieres, el quiere, nosotros queremos, ustedes quieren.. woahh. And don't get me start with the "R" sound -really, I was born with a condition that stops me from being able to make the "rrrrrrrr" sound, but happily now at least I can pronounce well words with in-between R's. But no matter how tricky it can be for both spanish speakers and non-speakers, it is not impossible to learn, and contrary to the image above, IT DOES HAVE A LOT OF SENSE :)) . In fact, to make it interesting,   let's see it as a challenge, I mean, wouldn't you want to tra

Each june of every year, Peru celebrates the Afro-Peruvian culture month, or - as I've seen on google - "Peru celebrates black history month", but let's be more specific, because probably, and different from other countries, the black peruvian populations are most likely to be descendants from the african slaves who came and adapted their habits to the burgeoisie lifestyle that had its presence in Lima. So, the africans where brought by the Spaniards in order to start working at the farms. Some time later they developed the house chores, and for instance, women found their place on the cooking field. Now, the hard thing was once they arrived to the houses of high-class people, the difference was really notable as, for example, they were not allowed to sit at the same table as their masters, or even eat the same food. They were fed with the entrails of animals, thoe parts that - back in those times - would never be eaten by "normal" people. However, this is w

Does this question sounds familiar? I bet you've heard or maybe thought about it some time. According to my research, it's one of the most frequent questions that a travelers wants to know about in order to start planning their trip to Peru and make the best of it with no hurries. Jauja, the capital before Lima To be honest, and this might be a surprising response from me to you, dear traveler, but there's no a specific time or date to come visit and enjoy Peru... I mean, as there are three different regions, 24 provinces and every one of them have different climates, for example, here in Lima during the month of february it is very hot as it's summer time, but if we go to Puno, Cusco there is going to be winter season filled with rains; on the other side we have Ticlio, one of Peru's highest points where it's cold all the time, and also at the east, in Loreto, San Martin, you can find an all-year hot weather. So, if it's the weather what concerns you, I'
