Peruvian girlfriend invited me to visit. Is it worth the travel?

[myfirstime001]

I’m a thirty-five year old who’s been in a few relationships. I’m currently dating a girl from Peru that I met on a foreign affair. We’ve been together for two years now. I’m looking forward to proposing to her soon, she just has no idea. Our relationship is going really well. I couldn’t ask for anyone better.


The first time we talked, I knew there was something special about her. Two months after our initial contact, I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. Her attitude never faltered even after the time that has passed. She's really genuine with her actions and emotions. Honestly, she's the most genuine person I've met.


About a week ago she invited me to visit her in Peru. I told her I'll think about it first. I've never been to the country before, but it seems like a good idea to visit Machu Picchu with her. I just need the opinion of others to make sure this is a good idea. What should I prepare for my visit? Should I just tell her to visit me instead?


She promised to give me a tour in her place. Should I send her money ahead so she can make necessary arrangements or should I wait until she sends me the needed expenses? Also, is proposing on my first visit a good idea too? I really need legit advice.

Love is worth anything. If you truly love her, then you can do anything for her and that includes traveling to visit her.

I will advice you only travel to visit her if it's convenient for you. Don't do this out of emotion, in other words don't let your emotions control you.

If you're going to propose to her, then yes you should go meet her. That seems like a no brainer to me, why would you not want to go meet this woman you want to marry?
But why do you feel the need to send her money? What exactly is she asking for or "arranging"? Personally I think you shouldn't send her any money, especially if you haven't met her before. That sounds fishy to me.
