I'm Alessandra, but you can call me Alex. I'm 22 years old and I was born and raised in Italy. I graduated last December in social studies. Before going to my graduation party I packed the essential, couple of clothes, a travel journal, hiking boots, my sandals and the guide of south America on a shoestring. Two days later I was on a flight heading to Cuba, with just one plan: heading south, slowly but surely.
I loved to study and I love what I studied, but I had, deeply inside, an urge need to go and see South America. Furthermore, the political and social situation in my country was not that appealing that leaving had never been so easy.
So, South America, from north to south, a part of the world that has always fascinated me. A land full of history, not just one , but different histories. I couldn't wait to understand more about the history through people's stories. I couldn't wait to see it with my eyes.
Now, here I am, after 8 months I'm currently in Peru, and, on Steemit, I'll share my thoughts and my experiences.
Does any of you want to share Latin American experiences? Any advice is appreciated :-)
Cheers
