Hi Rebecca,
i decided to write to you eventhough i'm not in Lima, however me and my boyfriend ( who's peruvian ) are thinking of going there in a few months.
My name is Anna, i'm 26 years old. I'm from Montreal, Canada.
I can not imagine how life is there for english speakers and what i could be even doing there (workwise).
I was wondering if you could may be tell me about your experience: what do you do, your impressions, your relationships with peruvians, how's your spanish ( mine is very basic ), etc.
Who knows may be we would meet one day ?
Take care,
Anna

Hi, I hope that you have found some friends by now. I am from Peru but I am not in Lima right now. I am based in DC due to job reasons by I travel to Lima very often. I'd be glad to give you any advice about Lima or Peru in general.

P.S. Are you enjoying the summer?

Hi Newtraveler. I'm planning on going to Lima for a year or so in April. How do you like it? Any recommendations on what district is best for an apartment?

I wish I had read your message earlier. So, I really don't know if you still need the information you requested. I'm a Peruvian living in Italy and planning to return to my country.
I don't know what your situation is but the safest neighborhoods are: La Molina, Chacarilla, La Aurora (Miraflores), and San Isidro.
Renting a room in any of these districts could cost you between 300-500 dollars a month.
Renting a small apartment could go from 500 to 1000 dollars a month.
I know of many young Americans who live just about anywhere. and survive! But it is nice to live well if you are overseas.
All the districts above provide all the services you can have in the USA, such as foreign newspapers.
Your average cost of living (everything included) should not go beyond $1300 dollars. The same quality of life in Los Angeles was $4000 dollars.
Good luck in my city!

Hi Rebeca
I'm Peruvian and live here in Lima, there are lots of expats here. Where do you work? usually you can do friends in the office, well I guess you know Miraflores, there are lots of tourists. Do you know Cafe Cafe? there are many tourists too, I don't know where the expats meet, if i find out, I will tell you, my husband is a foreigner too!
