Kickstarter

Hi all,

So grateful to be climbing up past my original goal - immense thanks to all my awesome backers! I can't wait to send you postcards and so much more.

In the interest of disclosure and transparency, I want to keep you all updated on costs associated with my research trip. My initial goal covers just a small part of these so here's a little more info:

Final cost:

• Plane fare (Boston, Cusco, Santiago): $1829
• 1 Day trip to Machu Picchu: $335

Estimated costs:

• Hostels in Perú: $180
• Transportation expenses in Perú: $200
• Hostels in Chile: $200
• Transportation expenses in Chile: $300
• Entrance fees & site visit costs in Chile: $100

I'm extremely excited that the support thus far will cover a significant portion of the outlays I've already made. More help, as you can see, will not go unappreciated! I am incredibly fortunate to have so many backers who believe in this project and who are willing to help me do the footwork to make it a reality.

More updates to come - takeoff is less than 30 days away!!!
