I travel throughout Peru whenever I can. Because of this, my exposure to the historical sites of the country led me to question the practices and religious beliefs of the dominant culture in Lima. Thus I traveled the world to find a place where people have the freedom to practice their own culture. Through modern technology, we have the power of information, connection, and creation. Although we take the power of our technology for granted, yet 3,000 years ago they would have been considered divine.
