Intrepid Journeys - Peru (Annie Crummer)

I love the world! Goddammit, I'm gonna get out there and check it out!

– Annie Crummer, at the start of this episode

The people reminded me of me, and my family. I could get away with being a local. Then they hear you talking, and that definitely changes everything.

– Annie Crummer, feeding pelicans with the locals in Lima

...Music's all I've done really, and via music I get to travel the world. And there's things out here in the world they just don't teach you at school. The world, and relationships, they're pretty much your best teachers.

– Annie Crummer early in the episode

...when this came up, I thought 'awesome! Don't have to sing!' I just have to drink up the world, which is something I love doing! I love travelling. But when you're a musician your main purpose is to do your gig. Can't really go tiki touring around. But not on this gig.

– Annie Crummer sails up-river in the Amazon Jungle

Okay, so this is my way of trying to be cool with it. The Dalai Lama won't even hurt a mosquito . . .  however, if the locals were to prepare a meal for him, he would eat it. So, I guess the Buddha in me is gonna just roll with that...

– Annie Crummer comes to terms with a meal involving guinea pig meat near Cusco

I knew I was in for a bit of a hiding with not being able to breathe . . . at sea level, it's doable, but when you can't breathe, it's a whole different gig.

– Annie Crummer, on day two of a hike up to 4500 metres

These guys work like anything. If you want something good to happen, you gotta do the work. Being brought up Polynesian, I've had that kind of makeup — kudos to my parents, especially my mum . . .  I feel at home, doing this kind of thing.

– Annie Crummer mucks in for chores at her homestay

I love it when I don't know what's going to happen for my day. Tomorrow's going to be insane.

– Annie Crummer embraces the spirit of adventure, late in this episode
