My friend Cristina and I went to Peru on a whim, where we planned to hit ceaseless exotic scenarios for nothing more than the $400 we each paid for a ticket. Cristina just graduated from college in Vermont, where she discovered the joys of couch surfing, so she was convinced that our entire time there would be totally free. We wound up arriving at most places around 3 AM, thanks to poorly planned overnight buses. We traveled up the coast instead of going directly to Machu Picchu, so we were the only non-locals. As an extra bonus for potential weirdos, we kind of look like children. Everyone thought it was really funny that we had come from America to some of the most dangerous cities in Peru just so we could go to the beach.
