Home Sweet Home
Arequipa was amazing! The city’s unique cultural identity and politically active community members made Arequipa my favorite city in Peru. I was fortunate to run into a city wide protest against the Conga mine, which is located in northern Peru. … Continue reading

Goodbye Taipei, Hello Taichung!
Since my last entry, I have been quite the busy bee. I’ve flown all the way from San Francisco to Taipei and have spent the last few days exploring the city with the other Puget Sound students going to the Tunghai University summer program. In this time, I have sampled some local food, visited the National Palace Museum, gone to the Shilin Night Market, visited my first dragon boat festival, and rode the Maokong Gondola. Like I said, it’s been a busy few days.
