Onward to Peru!

[Brianna York]

Hola familia y amigos,

I know it's been awhile since I've been able to connect with many of you and I wanted to share an update of where life has brought me. I'd love to hear back from each of you as well!

It's been an intense year of love, loss and a lot of change. Today is the day I begin a new chapter of my life in Lima, Peru with my love Alejandro. I've been anticipating and talking about this day for months. I can't believe it's finally here! 

I'll be taking Spanish lessons once again, continuing project management work with Ardeeka remotely, deepening my relationship with Alejandro and exploring this whole new culture. If you have any connections in Lima please pass them my way as I'm starting off fresh & friendless. Crazy thing is, almost a year ago (March 15th to be exact) was the first time I stepped into this magical country to explore the Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu with Ami & Melody. What a journey!

If you have whatsapp or viber, you can continue to call or text me with 360-241-1668. I also have a google voice number, 415-294-1046, that you can use to call or text me directly if those apps are a bit too complicated. I'll pass along my Peruvian number once I get settled as well.

In bigger news, we have a home!! After a year of nomadic life and so much support from all of you I'm rooting down (at least 6 months) in a beautiful apartment in the Miraflores neighborhood. I've attached a photo :) We have a spare room with your name on it.

Miraflores, Lima, Peru

Little love letters and care packages accepted ;-) More importantly visitors! It would be so wonderful to share my new home with you. Even if you happen to be on the continent hit me up, I'm always up for an adventure. I just spent two lovely weeks in Costa Rica with dear friends exploring both coasts. The bronchitis part was rough but we made the best of it! I also have a trip to Argentina brewing so don't hesitate to meet me on this path.

As my grandma would say, happy trails until we meet again!

Mucho amor xx,

Bri
