Vanessa is an incredible tour guide!
I have joined several WVT with her and she is a wealth of information which she presents clearly and enhances with documentation and pictures always leaving me wanting to sign up for the next one. Love archeology and please have her do more of that. I want to see everywhere she talks about in her beloved country of Peru, so much so I plan to go in August and hope to meet her in Lima!!!
Jewish Migration to Peru
Watched Vanessa’s fabulous lecture on the Jewish migration to Peru in the 15th century, the complex politics that led up to it, and what happened as a result. I was completely unaware of this piece of history and was mesmerized by the story, her deep knowledge of this period, and the many marvelous images she shared. Her style is delightful, upbeat, and full of elaborate descriptions of the places, the people involved, and the complex history that led to this migration and settlement in Peru. Her own enthusiasm for the topic also showed through and further enlivened the lecture. She’s one of the best, if not *the* best, tourguide I’ve encountered in the many WVT presentations I’ve seen.
