…when I get an email from National Geographic Traveler magazine division, saying that they wanted to feature one of my Peru blog posts on their own blog, Intelligent Travel. Yeah. Pretty darn excited. I have read National Geographic’s magazines since I was a child, and I highly respect their work. Traveler has also become one of my favorite magazines, I even index them and keep them for reference for future trips and vacations.
My trip to Peru last month was a life-changing event, in many ways, (even before the earthquake occurred) and I am so happy to share these experiences – especially the fiber-related experiences in the Andes – with this larger audience.
You can see the post here: Peruvian Knitting Quest.
