Voy a Peru!

Peru is going to be an adventure for the books. After spending a month and a half of last summer traveling the Caribbean and 2 breaks from school in Puerto Rico with my family just this year, I am more than ready to jump back into Spanish-speaking Latin America and indulge in my Latino heritage for a third time this year. 

I have invested a lot of time and mental space into Latin American politics this past year. Since I began my studies at Cal State East Bay, I have really dived into this political science thing, often finding 25+ tabs of Wikipedia articles open on my internet browser at a time about Latin American history and their political issues. Peruvian politics and their unique demographics are so interesting. I can’t wait to share some of this information that I’ve gathered through my studies and research with the rest of the group. I’m sure a lot of them have already been doing their own research as well! I shared a working powerpoint with everyone with some basic info and youtube videos about Peru's recent politics and the history of Maccu Piccu. 

I am seriously considering going to live in Latin America sometime after graduation. Hopefully this trip inspires me to finally make the jump!
