My solo backpacking adventure to Peru was the biggest highlight of 2024.
Traveling alone and taking on extreme things is the best way to learn about yourself.

Spending two weeks in the Amazon rainforest should be prescribed to everyone! The sounds of the jungle, the fauna and flora and the night sky felt just like something out of Avatar’s Pandora. I tried to describe it to some friends, and it took me 2–3 hours to tell them everything!

I’m so glad I stayed in a place that practices sustainable permaculture farming and supports both human and nature rights. I ate locally sourced fruits, vegetables, chicken, and fish, and the place provides jobs for locals from a nearby village. From day one, I felt calm like never before—no phone, no internet, no electricity, no warm water. My rhythm reset instantly sleeping in a rainforest. Nature can do some incredible things.

Other than the jungle, I have seen the hard life of Iquitos where 42% of the city lives in extreme poverty. It was hard.

I travelled across the country, climbed Huayna Picchu, and captured the landscapes. In Lima, I tried surfing and wandered around the city.

My story has greater depth than what I shared in the video. I’m still the same person, but more aware.
