Roving Reporter is written by Eric Ludy, an American writer and journalist living and working in Lima, Peru. Faced with a layoff notice at a daily newspaper in Wisconsin, I decided to take off and do something I've always wanted to try: experience the world outside my comfort zone. The resulting move took me from a small town in northern Wisconsin to a new life in Lima, a giant metropolis perched upon the Pacific’s Ring of Fire.

  • Most likely, you will treval through Los Angeles. It's roughly 14 hours from Sydney to LAX, and another 3 and a half to 4 hours from LAX to Mexico City. Returning from Lima, again you will likely go through LAX although it's about 8 and a half hours from Lima, Peru to LAX and then 14 hours back to Sydney. This is just the flying time and it depends on how long the connection at LAX is. Also this assumes that they're going through LAX but otherwise they'd have to make 2 connections and it would take longer.
