Welcome to our first official YouTube video together where we sit down, build a knockoff Lego Snoopy, and reflect on our first month living in Lima, Peru. We're sharing the honest truth about adapting to South America after leaving Mexico, from the amazing food to the unexpected culture shocks. In this video, we dive into exactly why we chose to move here and the stressful reality of apartment hunting as foreigners. We also talk about safety and exploring outside the tourist bubbles of Miraflores and Barranco to neighborhoods like San Miguel and Barrio Chino. Finally, we break down what we absolutely love about Peruvian daily life—like the incredible seco de lomo and coastal walks. plus a few things like the random alarms and noise that we definitely could do without.
