#liveperu

My name is Vinícius Mendonça, and this is how I lived my experience in Peru.

I decided a place, to travel to, like a surprise, and it really did, because the city of Lima was really open and welcoming. I learned a lot when I coexisted with the Peruvians, such as: respect more to our Latin American neighbors as a town with history and to give value to my own culture. I realized during my experience the importance of listening to what people have to say during a dialogue – respect is a big deal about it, too.

I carried with me on my way back to my country - especially - the optimism of the people in their daily lives and being more empathetic with others. I met a lot of the preserved native culture, I was honored to have that opportunity because I didn’t have the access to a human’s patrimony such as that.
