Heading to the US Embassy in Lima Peru to Replace a Passport
Hey there y’all! I know it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted, and I do apologize – but the fact is I’ve been doing most of my blogging on a different site and working pretty much full time, and it just hasn’t left me a lot of time for this blog. But I did [...]

How Do You Make a Living in Peru?
People ask me all the time what kind of work I do, and if it’s easy to make a living in Peru. There are so many people that are interested in moving down here, and they’ve heard about how living here is so much cheaper than living in the US. I get at least one [...]
Cost of Living in Lima Peru
This question comes up over and over and over – and it’s got a million and one answers – what’s the cost of living in Lima, Peru? Why do so many people have so many different answers to the same question? If you asked a construction worker from the Bronx and a high powered doctor [...]
Where’s the Convenience?
Continuing on the never-ending theme of things that can drive me crazy – or at least leave me scratching my head: It’s true that you often don’t realize how good you’ve got things until they aren’t available to you anymore.

Living with Dogs in Lima
I’ve always been a pet lover. From my early days with Suki – a Siamese cat I only remember from photos; to my youth with Tina, a lovable Basset Hound whose death devastated me; to my early adult years with the Doberman gang; to my current middle age with a mismatched set of over-excited house [...]
Ways That Peru is Better Than The US
Photo credit: kconnors from morguefile.com Ok folks – as I promised with the last post, this post is going to be a rebuttal. And that last post sure got a lot of talk! People definitely have their opinions. I’m just glad that no one got mad at me and told me to go home [...]
Ways The US is Better Than Peru
Anyone who reads my blog even occasionally will know how much I love Peru. I love the people, I love the weather (most of the time), I love the country. There are times when we’re out in the car and I see something that will strike me in a certain way, and I have to [...]
How to Choose a School in Lima?
Where to send their kids to school is a constant source of conversation for expatriates around the world, and here in Peru it’s no different. Because of the sheer volume of choices, it’s probably an even bigger topic here in Lima than elsewhere in the country. The lowest rung on the ladder are the public [...]

I got tired of life happening while I made other plans, so I quit my job and came to Peru. I live here with my Peruvian husband, two sons, three dogs and various other family members, depending on the weather.
