Quest Overseas - Andean Expedition in Peru / Bolivia

I travelled on the 6 week Andean Expedition through Peru and Bolivia in 2013. I was 21, straight from university, and we were an all girl group. Our bond was pretty much instant - nothing gets you closer than a mixture of amazing experiences and some unwanted bodily functions!! We are now lifelong friends and meet every year around the country and abroad and continue to talk about our time with Quest to this day. Such an amazing experience, from the landscapes to the culture and trying all the local foods (even if I didn't like much of it - I wasn't cultured at 21!)

This expedition was so jam packed with adventure after adventure, I was shattered, I came back and slept solid for 3 days. Everyday we were in a new location, new country, different bed and different activity just around the corner. Whether it was waking up in the snow to climb mountains at 1am or falling asleep on the longest most uncomfortable journey into the jungle or sleeping between 2 friends in a tiny tent who've stolen your role mat, you knew that the next day would have something exciting prepared to share with what became your family. And this happened for 6 weeks straight. But despite getting barely any sleep, unless you were lucky enough to get an upgrade to the sleeper bus section with real reclining seats, I wouldn't have changed it and would do it all again tomorrow. Now have the best stories at parties and met the greatest friends!
