the kindness of people

Peruvian people are for sure special and here I want to share one of my experiences :)

Before going to Peru I wrote to the Romanian embassy in Peru to tell them that I will be in the country for about 2 weeks. A couple of hours later I received an e-mail that was telling me that the Peruvian consul in Romania, Mr. Carlos Cuento would like to invite me for a Skype call to give me more details about his country. I was surprised and impressed! It rarely happens that officials take actually the time to give touristy advice, but Mr, Cuento seems to be from a different breed. :)

Some days later he called me and after 30 min of discussions,besides the very valuable information I got from I got from him, I also realized how much he loved hist country and how proud he was for being from Peru.  Another thing that he told me was and I realized only afterwards was that over the last (several, don't remember exactly but a lot) years he was spending 2 months travelling around Peru and until now he did not manage to see everything. (I wanted to do it all if possible in less than 2 weeks!).

At the end of the call, he asked me to send him my plan and what we aim for so that he can tell me if this would be feasible and if he can add any tips for the particular places that we were going. I did and he called back to share his thoughts with me. as said, impressive!

Now after more than one year since I am back I realize that I still have to see so so many places in this beautiful country with extreme kind people.  

Thank you!
