Please check out my sample:
Iquitos, Peru.
If you ask me, I have always dreamt about going for a long holiday trip around the world. I know it is no easy task, but I really like the idea of moving constantly from place to place, meeting new people and adapting to their customs. Some years ago, I backpacked to the south of Peru, It was a wonderful experience. I loved every bit about it. The beautiful sights, the warmth of the people, and all the fun you can find even when you are on a budget!
If I had the time and money I would love to get back there, but this time I would choose to go north, to Iquitos, and stay a whole season in the jungle.
Iquitos is the capital city of the Loreto department, it has no road access, so you can only access it by plane or boat.
Once there, I'd really like to get on a boat trip on the amazon river, find a tourist lodge that offered jungle tours and finally, just spending some quiet time.
I am aware that this region is one of Peru's poorest, so I cannot ignore this fact. If possible, I'd like to help people maybe with some English teaching, and help them to increase the tourism.
A big problem here is that there are not strong laws protecting the forest nor the wildlife. I would really like to meet the people working in conservation.
On a personal level, I would use this trip to disconnect myself from everyday life, and also to take pictures, drawings and create paintings about the people living and working next to one of the last natural reservoirs.

My jungle brother.
Fitzcarraldo (1982), filmed in Iquitos, you should definitely watch this movie!

Hi. I'd like to visit Iquitos too! I went to Perú, but didn't go to the jungle just Lima and some beaches at north. I think that backpacking it's a really good experience and way to travel a meet new persons and cultures
ResponderEliminarI went to Peru twice and I love it, it´s a beautiful country! I definitely back again to know more
ResponderEliminarHello teacher Daniel, I liked your idea of offering some English classes to the people of Iquitos. When one person says that knew a place on holidays, it usually makes reference to visit places but doesn't to meet the people.
ResponderEliminarRegards
Hi teacher! With my friends, we have thought to visit Peru someday because its culture and its history is very interesting.
ResponderEliminarRegards!
Hello teacher, I know Peru and I love it, because it is a very culturally attractive country, but I have to admit, what I enjoy most is food. Regards
ResponderEliminarHello teacher Daniel, I think that your desicion is very nice. when I read your post I too feel like going to kown Peru, I woul like to meet the people, to know the culture and gastronomy. I hope you can go again!
ResponderEliminarRegards!
Hi teacher, tell to your brother that he is a very handsome men jajaja. I would like to visit peru too and find some interest places there. It's so sad that they aren't doing so much to protect their nature, I hope that changes in the future.
ResponderEliminarHi Teacher!

I would love to meet that place and know a new culture full of wealth.

Hi! I think the dream of many is to travel the world!
ResponderEliminarI think that the trips are to disconnect with the everyday and connect with nature and the life that surrounds us
