    My name is Luke Keeler and I grew up in the beautiful state of North Carolina in the United States of America! I love to travel and experience new cultures and see the absolute stunning beauty of this world! My love for travel started when I was a child and my parents took me to visit my family that lives in England. From the first time hearing accents to seeing the beautiful centuries old structures of individual homes and buildings mixed in with the modern architecture of today, I was fascinated with traveling and the differences between cultures.ords.

We were thankful to arrive in Copacabana, Bolivia after having a mix-up at immigration on the border of Peru and Bolivia.

Copacabana is a beautiful town on the southern shore of Lake Titicaca, which is actually the highest navigable lake in the world. The word Copacabana comes from the Aymara language ‘Kota Kawana’ which means ‘view of the lake’, and was viewed very highly by the Inca, but when the Spaniards came, they turned this lake town into a pilgrimage site for Catholics. Which brings us to one of the first things you must see in Copacabana.
