Exploring Peru
One accounting major. One trip to Peru. A lot of questions about how the world actually works.
What you’ll find here
A mix of personal stories, academic observations, and everything in between – documenting two weeks in Peru through the lens of a business student who asks a lot of questions.
Pre-Departure Research
What I studied before landing in Peru – from corporate sustainability to conflict resolution in the Andes.
Weekly Recaps
Where we went, what we did, and the moments that surprised me most.
Academic Deep-Dives
Connecting what I’ve studied in class to what I’m seeing on the ground – sustainability, business culture, and more.
Culture & Food
Language moments, local customs, and an honest review of every Peruvian dish I try.
Place Spotlights
Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu – and wherever else the program takes us.
Reflections
The bigger takeaways. What this trip is teaching me about business, the world, and myself.
Why this trip matters
Study abroad is more than travel – it’s where the textbook meets the real world.
