Peru

“Studying abroad is an experience that allowed me to grow as a person in more ways than I thought possible. Peru was such an amazing country and it pushed me beyond my self-made limits. Through the ascension up to the higher points and the thinner air, the three hundred plus stairs of Ollantaytambo, the trek up Machu Picchu, and more; I surpassed even the largest limits I thought of myself and was pushed even further.”

“Appreciating agriculture in every country I go visit. Crazy to think what they were able to envision out of a mountain.”

– Paige, Peru

“Studying abroad in Peru gave me the unique opportunity to explore an area outside of my comfort zone, forcing me to analyze myself and leave a more globally-minded person. For a month I was immersed in a culture staggeringly different from the one at EKU, one that felt ‘older’ and more in touch with its past. By the end of my stay I had trekked up Machu Picchu, eaten cuy (guinea pig), flew over the Nazca Lines, and had fragmented conversations with many locals. I feel through this program that I’ve gained a new perspective on life.”

“Would you not like to be, sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free (that’s Machu Picchu in the right corner!!)”
