I’ve been invited to the Mansion House! Dublin’s cities residence of The Lord Mayor is the venue for a special celebration of Peruvian culture in Ireland soon. I have, in recent months, connected with a vibrant group of Peruvians living in Ireland.
In June 2017, I attended dance rehearsals with members of the facebook group ‘Casa Peru in Ireland’. At the end of that month we performed on the streets of Dublin, show-casing the traditional dances of Peru.
This was also a way for me to show my friends back in Peru that my time spent amongst them, as an adventurer and writer, has not been forgotten.
‘Stories are my thing and I seek the positive and beautiful even in the darkest of places.’
In fact, it is my wish to publish my travel memoir from that time. I refer to it as my ‘Journey in Peru’ story. It has been featured on this blog ‘Wild Star Landing’ and has also been listed in Ireland Blog Awards in the last few years running. Take note if indeed you are a publisher or agent, we could be a team! (:
‘I was always writing but I could say I ‘BECAME’ a writer when I landed in Peru.’
Peru is the country that propelled me into the world of writing. I was always writing but I could say I ‘BECAME’ a writer when I landed in Peru. I have been twice to that magnificent land as a result of this writng ‘fire-spur’.
I would love to return andI would relish any form of sponsorship that would return me there a while longer. I write lovingly about genuine stuff, people, places and culture. Stories are my thing and I seek the positive and beautiful even in the darkest of places.
Fly me to Peru? Have a heart (:
Can’t wait to visit the Mansion House for celebrations. Will keep you posted!
Thanks for stopping by! Do say hello!
