EXPATRIATE NICK STANZIANO & JOHN LEIVERS 78
NICK STANZIANO AND JOHN LEIVERS HAVE A SPECIAL CONNECTION WITH THE ANDES. THAT PASSION FOR THE PERUVIAN SIERRA AND THE QHAPAQ ÑAN LED THEM TO START AN EXPEDITION OF ALMOST FIVE MONTHS THROUGH THIS MAGNIFICENT JEWEL OF INCA ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING. What brought you to Peru? Nick: I am from California, and people there have a notion about Peru, the Andes, Machu Picchu and the Incas; with stories like Hiram Bingham or Indiana Jones. In 2005, I travelled to Cusco to study Spanish, and in March of that year, I went to work in Ollantaytambo. I was there for four months, but I returned in 2009. My father always had many concepts about Peru since his youth, but he could never come. I did it for him to start a life, a family. John: I have been here for 26 years. I used to be part of a very large British travel company, and I was in charge of destinations in Africa, Asia, and South America. I arrived at the beginning of 1991 and hiked through Manu, Iquitos and Cusco. After the company went bankrupt, I became more interested in what the expeditions were. I worked as a tour guide to earn money, but at the same time, I was exploring other remote parts of Peru to learn the culture of those little-documented places. Nick, you once mentioned that Qhapaq <strong>Ñan</strong> is a ‘physical experience’ of history, what do you mean by that? Nick: History and archeology consist of looking back and interpreting what people thought and did. What we have today are static experiences: buildings or archaeological sites that you can only Christian Declercq / KM Cero 79
