HowtoPeru
Author
I'm an English freelance writer (various subjects including travel, Latin American history, football) who ended up in Peru after about two years backpacking around South America.
I've been living in Tarapoto, Peru for a year. It's hot. It's relaxed. It's interesting.... Have a look at my TarapotoLife blog for more info. I also have a new blog about Per travel: HowtoPeru.com
