Hiking the Inca Trail was one of the greatest experiences of my life. As I hiked the trail I was amazed by what I saw; beautiful snow-capped mountains, lush jungles, massive waterfalls and ancient ruins. Never in my life did I think I would ever step foot in this part of the world, yet here I was.

Even with all the blog posts I read and the information on the tour company’s website, I’m glad I was able to speak to some locals and the staff at the hostel before the hike.

As I walked through the gates of my job for the final time, I looked up towards the sky and let the warmth of the sun hit my face.
