Hey everyone! Mitch Teplitsky is a good friend of Mayu and the filmmaker of the Peruvian documentary, Soy Andina. In the above video, we are in Chiquian, Peru. Mitch came to see the beauty of Chiquian and learn about Mayu’s home because he also loves all things Peru. Mitch recently submitted a Fulbright scholarship application, of which Mayu was a part! I was excited to have Mitch with me in Chiquian — he took some excellent film footage of my Peruvian adventures both in my Peace Corps community and with Mayu’s artisans. Mitch fell in love with Chiquian, so I’m trying to convince him and his wife, Doris, to share a small plot of  land there (Maybe to build a brand new workshop for the artisans and raise alpacas…).

If you love Peru, dance and/or culture and haven’t seen Soy Andina yet, I highly suggest it!

Thanks for watching / reading.
