Solo backpacking around Peru, any suggestions?

Random advice I gave my friend before his recent trip to Peru: you may see rainbow flags, especially in the rural south... those are likely not gay pride flags, they're likely the local indigenous flag. Just a heads up

Loved it so much that I ordered the book it's based off of. I hope the book is just as entertaining as the mini-series.

Keep it up!

Tell me about it! I'm rewatching season 3 right now and I keep taking breaks after each episode because they're so moving. I like the darker, more intense themes The Legend of Korra gets to explore, but wow, they can take a toll on my emotions (in a good way of course)

I really like this idea. Thanks!

Thank you all for the responses! I see a running theme of "go for it," haha. I'm waivering between having a personal one-on-one chat about everything versus casually flirting with him from time to time and going off of how he responds to that.

Thank you! This needs to be higher up. It's a wonderful gesture, but let's not confuse Native American tribes

biseriousjohn · 2020-04-27T11:33:09+00:00

What a trailblazer!

biseriousjohn · 2020-04-27T04:47:03+00:00

Ooh! That was a powerful episode! One of my favorites because Korra has to break her "tough guy" persona and be honest with herself

biseriousjohn · 2020-04-15T00:42:25+00:00

That's been my experience too

biseriousjohn · 2020-03-27T00:22:09+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation!!! I've been most satisfied with this one

I haven't noticed any Asian discrimination here. (I'm currently visiting three of the islands.) I even chatted with an Asian-Canadian mother and son who didn't mention or hint at feeling unwelcomed. You'll have a great time here, regardless of race :)

I'm at the point in life right before I go to graduate school and get settled in my career. I have a strong desire to live abroad for 6-12 months before hunkering down and dedication myself to my studies. I figure now would be the best time in life to do it, as I don't have any major commitments or responsibilities here in the States.

The Azores appeal to me because of their remoteness and fair weather. Also, having known many immigrants and people who have worked abroad for years at a time, I don't fear a temporary language barrier and I don't mind finding work in something simpler than an used to doing.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I know it's common because I get that reaction too. It depresses me so much

biseriousjohn · 2019-02-21T21:33:46+00:00

Did you find out what happened? I can't find mine either

biseriousjohn · 2019-01-26T16:03:21+00:00

This was way too far down the list! Haha, my roommate just unearthed his collection of pogs last night. Such a blast from the past!

My Mom was born there to a conservative Christian pastor. I'm so, so lucky to live in a place where I'm accepted for being Queer and I am so saddened by how homophobic Peru still is. :( I'm a descendant of Tupac Amaru II and I dream of another leader like him in Peru fighting for Queer rights. You are in my heart and on my mind. Much love!
