In a remote village set amidst the highest peaks of South America’s Peruvian Andes, Katy finds her “Andean home” I jumped out of the cab to a cacophony of beeps and shouts and fought my way across the road, yawning in the early-morning cold of Peru. I walked into the grey concrete building behind a [...]
