Stories From the Amazon

Picture
I lived in the Peruvian Amazon for two years and during that time there were many experiences that were funny, heartwarming or just plain ridiculous from the time I landed until the day I got on plane and headed home. Living in another country, in a different culture can provide great experiences to share. Enjoy!.

About Me

Picture
Hi, I'm Deb, a.k.a. Reel Wanderer, and in a sense I have always wandered. I dally, I dip, I try and I test, but I never seem to come in for a solid landing like so many others in life do.  I have moved numerous times, too many to count, trading the Midwest for the Northwest, the Pacific Mountains for the Andes, and the Olympic Rainforest for the Amazon jungle. Maybe I am not so much fickle, as I am a gypsy at heart.  As I move toward my retirement years and beyond, one of the things of which I am certain is that my wandering, my curiosity for life, and my love for different cultures will never change. I am author, artist, educator, healer, entrepreneur and ready-to-be retired Reel Wanderer.
