My husband and I made a trip to Machu Picchu Peru back in April, and this week, my travel story on the trip was featured on the awesome travel site, TravelSquire.com.

The story, “Stepping Into a Postcard,” covers our trip flying in from Lima to Cusco, and then taking a taxi and train to the town of Aguas Calientes at the base of the Machu Picchu mountain. I’ve traveled a lot, but this was one of the coolest, magical and adventurous-feeling trips I’ve ever taken. Check out the full story on TravelSquire for tips on how to make your trip as good as—or even better than—ours.
