Worked Example

As we are now on our way home, I can reflect on our adventure and what I've learned. We were
all so excited to be cycling through an incredible landscape, and we felt well prepared with our
wet weather gear. I quickly realised that this trip was not going to be easy, as we'd only just
reached the top of a mountain pass when hailstones started to fall! I normally love the thrill of a
hill descent, but it was so cold I lost feeling in my hands, making it hard to control the bike, and
the terrain was truly terrifying. I can't describe how relieved I was when we entered Colquepata
and were told it was only 40 minutes downhill to Paucartambo. Well, it wasn't 40 minutes, but
at least the roads were smooth and it started to feel fun. I got a real sense of everyday life in
Peru, and Paucartambo itself was so picturesque, I started to feel more excited again and what
else we would see.
That first day felt tough, especially with another downpour and a flat tyre to deal
with. However, my feelings changed as we got further into the jungle. The heady scents and
humid air were the complete opposite to the high Andes, and I'll never forget cycling through a
haze of butterflies. It was like being in a cartoon! I was a bit disappointed to find out we had to
wait a couple of days for a bus out of Pilcopata, but this turned out to be an unexpected bonus
as we were able to really immerse ourselves in Peruvian life and talk to the locals. It made me
think about how we rush around all the time at home, sticking to schedules and losing the art of
conversation. Nobody is in a hurry in the heat of the jungle. I was especially surprised to find
out how little money from tourism actually gets to the people of the town. If I've taken away
anything from this journey, it's to be more environmentally aware of our actions as tourists, and
to buy local when travelling to put money back into the economy.

Even though some of the journey has been really tough, I'm so glad I did it as I feel as though I
have grown as a person. I've been able to work as part of a team and learned more about a part
of the world I knew very little about.
