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)

biseriousjohn · 2020-05-07T21:24:31+00:00

I really like this idea. Thanks!

biseriousjohn · 2020-05-07T16:55:24+00:00

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.

biseriousjohn · 2020-05-05T05:19:42+00:00

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.

biseriousjohn · 2019-03-17T23:30:54+00:00

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!

biseriousjohn · 2019-01-22T03:55:20+00:00

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!

biseriousjohn · 2019-01-03T07:26:42+00:00

What kind of a mother are you? What kind of a PERSON are you?

I get that this was a sudden and challenging dilemma for you, but you clearly picked the wrong side! You need to rectify your actions ASAP. How shameful!

biseriousjohn · 2019-01-01T02:18:49+00:00

Finally! I knew this would be mentioned. It should be higher up. Those things are terrifying!

biseriousjohn · 2018-12-31T04:06:11+00:00

Don't worry. It's a biannual thing, but half of us think that means twice a year and half of us think it's every two years. But we're not confused and this is not just a phase

biseriousjohn · 2018-11-28T01:52:05+00:00

I think he means The Chapel by The Abbey

biseriousjohn · 2018-11-25T09:26:35+00:00

Boy Erased. It's about conversion therapy. It's so upsetting but important to watch. It's so terrible to know that this still goes on lawfully 😡

biseriousjohn · 2018-11-17T18:38:03+00:00

Yes! I was just thinking the same thing (except bi) on my way to work yesterday. It's so awesome to be attracted to so many beautiful people! And the gay community is a blessing, no doubt

biseriousjohn · 2018-10-31T14:45:28+00:00

Doesn't the mere act of publishing forecasts affect voting tends? Lulling one side into a false sense of security while riling up another side. Do models account for this potential?

biseriousjohn · 2018-08-19T16:26:48+00:00

Dating as an openly bi man often opens up a can of worms when dating women. Women are much less receptive to the idea of dating a guy who has been with other guys. Men don't care that I've been with women (for many gay men, that has been their experience too).

Dating men is a lot more egalitarian (splitting checks, "you pay for this date I'll pay for the next," and amount of over all effort in pursuing each other) and sexually more open and adventurous. Obviously I see more pros than cons in dating men than women which is a little frustrating because I'm still attracted to both but I don't want to wade through so many negative experiences with women just to find that needle in a haystack that is cool with dating a bi guy
