Solo Female Travel in Cusco, Peru

Peru was on my travel bucket list for a long time. Ever since learning about Machu Picchu, I dreamed of making my way to the Peruvian mountaintop ruins.

The Perfect One Week Morocco Itinerary

Another motivation was my desire to not have to “waste time” trying to figure out my next activity while on my actual trip. I always dreamed of just landing somewhere and seeing where my adventures would take me.
