“A person’s a person, no matter how small.” — Dr. Seuss
Packing for Peru is a little different than packing for most trips.
You’ll likely experience everything from cool mountain mornings to hot, humid days in the Amazon, so packing smart makes all the difference.
We spent two weeks exploring Peru with nothing but carry-ons, and this is exactly what worked for us (plus a few things I’d leave at home next time).
Save this for your Peru trip, and if you want my free printable packing list, comment Pack and I’ll Dm it to you. You’ll also find it in the link in my bio. #perutravel #packinglist #traveltipsandtricks #carryononly #peru

The town most travelers rush through ended up being one of our favorite places in Peru. 🇵🇪
Most people only spend a few hours in Ollantaytambo before catching the train to Machu Picchu, but this charming town deserves so much more.
As the last living Inca city, Ollantaytambo is the only town in Peru where people still live within the original Inca street layout. Walking its cobblestone streets feels like stepping back in time.
We spent our first three nights here after flying into Cusco, and it was the perfect place to acclimate while exploring the Sacred Valley. We wandered the ancient streets, explored the incredible Inca ruins, and took day trips to Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, and Chinchero.
If you’re planning a trip to Peru, don’t make Ollantaytambo just a stop on the way to Machu Picchu.
I’ve shared more about our stay in Ollantaytambo, our complete 14-day Peru itinerary, and 14 Peru travel tips I wish I’d known before visiting over at Staying Blonde. Links in bio. #ollantaytambo #perutravel #perutraveltips #machupicchu #traveltips

Who else is craving salad? Preferably one served on a Greek island, far away from the current lettuce drama.
At this point, that alone might be worth the trip.

So. Much. Drama. 😂 These are my days now… and somehow I wonder why I can’t get anything done. #bulldogpuppy #englishbulldogpuppy #englishbulldog #dogmomlife

One ball is better than no ball… right? 😂
Just wanted to give a quick Spud update! We are absolutely over the moon watching him grow into such a happy, healthy guy… especially since it was so touch and go in the beginning.
I do have to laugh though. We’ve been celebrating his first ball finally dropping… only so we can eventually schedule having it taken away. 😆 always an adventure. #update #englishbulldogpuppy #bulldogpuppy #bulldog #dogmomlife🐾

Preparing for his future documentary?😂
I had no idea bulldogs could be this emotional… or that they could hold a grudge quite this well. I swear, every time he thinks we’ve wronged him, he gives us the look like he’s adding another chapter to the story. #englishbulldogpuppy #englishbulldogpuppy #bulldog #futuredocumentary #dogmomlife

I don’t know why my teenagers think I’m so cringey… 😂
I was filming this on my Insta360 and had no idea she was even in the shot. It wasn’t until I got home and reviewed the footage that I realized she quietly scooted herself away from me. 🤣
Traveling with teens sure keeps you humble! Btw, after we both cracked up after watching this, she gave me full permission to post it. 🙌#momlifebelike #momofteens #familytravel #toofunny #machupicchu
