Hi AJ,
Welcome to Just You.
Peru - good for you - great choice for your first trip. I am going there myself in March. I too have always wanted to see Machu Picchu so now I will. In fact, we both will.
I can't think of a better way of spending a gap year (every year is a gap year for me now) than seeing all the places you have dreamed of seeing Start working your way down that long list although you know that list will get longer because the more you see, the more you will want to see.
I hope you have a great trip - but I know you will - enjoy!
Be happy,
Best wishes,
Lesley :angel:
