Under Andean Skies: Living & Writing in Peru by David Stephens (BOOK REVIEW)

David Stephens, a long-time contributor for Traveling & Living in Peru and expat in Peru, has written his new book, Under Andean Skies, highlighting his wealth of knowledge of Peru’s culture and history. David Parker gives us his review of Stephens’ insightful new travel book. For me, traveling without romance is like a regiment without its honor.
