Our Peruvian Adventure
In and around Peru
So everyone keeps asking why Peru? That's why, because it seems to be off of people's travel radar. Let me start off by saying I (Shannon) chose Peru, Bobb said we can go anywhere I want for my big birthday. The two main reason I chose Peru are of course Machu Picchu and also the Amazon jungle. I want an adventure, I want to be out of my comfort zone and experience something completely new. So that's why. We are really excited to share our adventure with you. We hope you enjoy.
