“I strongly believe that launching yourself into the world, putting yourself face to face with other people, on their turf, where you have to account for yourself on unfamiliar terms, is a noble way to live and to move ahead as a human being.”
(a quote by travel writer and creator of the world’s first travel blog, Jeff Greenwald)

I am returning to Peru to do volunteer work with disadvantaged children in Cusco, and then to find volunteer work in Iquitos in the Amazon.  I am also pursuing my photography and travel writing.  I can be reached at my regular email address or at douginperu[at]yahoo[dot]com
