This will be my blog that I will be using to share stories, experiences, and pictures from my 10 week adventure in Peru. First I will give a little bit of information about myself, Auna Godinez.
I am finishing my second year at Oregon State University majoring in Renewable Materials: Art & Design. I have two minors, Business & Entrepreneurship and Recreation & Resource Management. I was born on the Oregon coast, but grew up in Springfield Oregon. I have two sisters that are my world, Emily and Jamie that are 11 years old and 4 years old. They are a lot of my motivation to keep going, as well as my parents. I love to be outdoors hiking, fishing, and camping. Cooking is another favorite thing of mine!
This will not be my first experience abroad. During the summer of 2011 I traveled to Europe to visit London, Paris, and Spain. I backpacked El Camino de Santiago from S. France all across N. Spain till I reached the coast (560 miles.) That experience shaped me and taught me so many things I will hold onto forever. I am sad it has taken me this long to arrange my next international adventure!
Even though I am leaving Thursday night to catch my red eye flight to Chicago, I am still figuring out my itinerary. I am going to plan very loosly and do most of my traveling schedules a week or so in advance, but I do have a general idea of what this is all going to look like. I will arrive in Lima a day or so early to travel. We will be staying there for about a week at the University studying and participating in a class. I will be getting 6 OSU credits for this! Then we will travel to the ITA Inka Terra Association facility in Puerto Maldonado to do field work and research. All together, it is a two week program. I will continue to stay at the research facility for 6 more weeks for an internships. This work will be a lot of searching for new fungi, bird banding, measuring orchids, and community outreach. The next two weeks I will spend traveling around Peru! The for sure thing is my flight itinerary that I will copying to end of this blog.
This blog is mainly for worried family and curious friends, but I hope whoever reaches it will enjoy it. I will probably have a scheduled day for when I post blogs. It will likely be once a week or more often if a lot is happening each day!
Here we go,
