"Their reciprocity and collectivism truly demonstrate the root of Andean culture." I've really enjoyed reading your blogs Emily. I feel like a lot of the beautiful connections you have made on this trip is due to your friendliness and care for others. Where some people may shy away, you go out of your way to build relationships with others. I think going to Fucunda's fruit stand meant a lot to Estiben.
Hi Emily, your interaction with Steven's mom is so heartwarming I can't even!!!! "Their reciprocity and collectivism truly demonstrate the root of Andean culture" I totally agree, what a wonderful way to see that in action.
“I’m always impressed with how clever and opportunistic the vendors are.” I totally agree. I love the entrepreneurial spirit that seems to be so alive and thriving here. It Isaí evident here just how important entrepreneurs are to an economy.
I always love reading your experience posts so much (definitely not just because I'm usually a part of them)! I was so, so honoured to meet Estibens mom. Throughout our time here, I've also noticed the collectivism and reciprocity between the market vendors, and I love how you related this to the ways in which this is a deeply rooted tenet of the culture. Looking forward to our final adventures in Peru together!

I’m gonna miss Estiben :/
I feel like the positivity of the experience we’ve (I’ve) had in Peru has been so central around the people we’ve met along the way.
