The question everybody make: How and Why Peru?

Por
A question that always comes up whenever I meet someone new in Peru is:
Why did you decide to come to Peru, especially Trujillo? How did you do it?

First of all, we have to consider my professional trajectory and remember that it is not very easy to find a job at an international school if you are not a native speaker of the English Language(America, British, Australian, Canadian, etc). 

But as my dream was to get to know the world in a different way I started looking for Jobs all around the world. I would go into the Cambridge website and look in the tab Find a Cambridge School and I would look for schools that were needing Maths teacher with Experience in the IGCSE(mainly but not exclusively). 

In this quest I received contact from 2 schools, one in Trujillo(Peru) and Cochabamba(Bolívia) and, for different reasons, among them the possibility of acquiring experience in the International Baccalaureate, I ended up deciding to come to Trujillo and here I am for almost one year and a half.

Cozinhando e comendo...

Hola chamos y chamas, como están? Gente, hoje eu vim falar pra vocês de mais uma coisa que comecei a fazer agora: Cozinhar Pois é, nos 10 primeiros dias eu só comi na rua, o que me causou um grande rombo nas minhas finanças, além de já estar enjoando de comer empanadas e pasteles horneados, que era o que eu mais comia. Logo depois que me mudei fiz compras no supermercado e comprei várias coisas, macarrão, queijo, presunto, salsicha, tempero, seleta, quase dois quilos de picadinho (carne moída para os não manauaras) entre outros. Como picadinho é uma coisa fácil e rápida de fazer resolvi comprar quase dois quilos o que me durou quase 10 dias. Eu fazia uma parte pra durar pelo menos uns 3 dias. Pra não ficar todo dia tendo que cozinhar. Pow, mas comer picadinho todo dia não enjoa? De verdade, não, mas a criatividade é a alma do negocio, como fazer pra não ser todo dia a mesma coisa? um dia faço picadinho e macarrão(não tirei foto) no dia seguinte faço ovo com picadinho e macarr

Stereotypes about Peru

When someone talks about Peru, if you have any idea  about this country, I could bet that, at least one of these 3 things will come to your mind: 1.Inkas 2. Machu Picchu 3. Ceviche Peruvians are extremely proud of these 3 things, however they are very proud of so many different things and they will be so glad if you like some others! I will have posts dedicated to each one of those things but I would like to give you a taste of what other things will define Peru that are related to these 3 topics. 1. Inkas - Differently from what most people think Inka wasn´t how every person that lived in Machu Picchu was called. The Inkas were the governors of the Quechua people, but many people still call them the Inka people. What foreigners usually don´t know is that the "Inkas" were a civilization hugely well developed for that moment in time but they were also conquerors.  So they basically took over some other civilizations that lived in the area, that at their moments took

The previous name of the Blog was ´Eu ando pelo mundo` which means I walk throughout the world which is the portuguese translation fora part of the song  Esquadros from the Brazilian Singer Adriana Calcanhoto . And the name of the blog adress continues the song: Eu ando pelo mundo prestando atenção em cores - which means I walk throughout the world paying attention in colours. I completely adore this song and it was more or less how I felt first time I went abroad(to live). You can listen to it here? However, as I decided to change a little bit the language, focus and the direction of the blog I thought I should probably also think about changing the tittle of it, even though the link I won´t be able to do it. So I decided to take a look in the Travel Songs Playlist I have created before I came to Peru. (Writing as an idea for a post to organize this playlist here), This playlist has songs in Portuguese, English and Spanish.  And one of the songs I like a lot, it is not
