About Me
Behind Voyage Pérou, it’s me—Vanessa Huet.
Born in Montreal, I’ve been traveling since before I could walk. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had a pen in hand, jotting down thoughts, impressions, and even the smallest details of my adventures—because I have the memory of a goldfish!
I had already fallen in love with Italy, been amazed by the misty mountains of China, and gone solo to Chile at 18 (much to my family’s horror). But it was an internship in Peru that planted a seed: what if I didn’t want to go back to my comfortable life in Quebec?
For years, I didn’t dare think about it. I had studies to finish, and to be honest—I was terrified of the unknown. Leaving behind my city, my family, my friends, my espresso cups that perfectly matched my Italian stovetop coffee maker… and my kitchen walls. Yes, it really was a beautiful coffee maker.
Eventually, I realized I had become my own obstacle. One day, I looked around and saw I had become a walking cliché.
So I made the choice to leave. Did I give everything up? Not at all. In fact, I took back control of my life—and that’s the decision I’m most proud of.
What’s next? No idea. But I’m ready for it—with a big smile and a pen in hand.
Peru & Latin America
Since 2012, I’ve been sharing my love for the incredible diversity of Peru and Latin America by publishing practical travel tips, detailed itineraries, personal stories, expat interviews, and curated lists of the best places to eat, sleep, and explore—whatever your budget.
Luckily, I haven’t been doing this alone. A big thank you to everyone who has helped grow this blog over the years and continues to put a little bit of heart into it.
